> Today, Android Wear for iOS works with the LG Watch Urbane. All future Android Wear watches, including those from Huawei (pictured above), Asus, and Motorola will also support iOS, so stay tuned for more. It's unfortunate it won't work with older Android Wear watches like, say the Moto 360. But I'm glad it finally happened; almost every year I switch back and forth between an iPhone and an Android and was a little sad that my Moto 360 would no longer be my companion with my iPhone 6+. Edit: Looks like it the older ones work as long as you update it via an Android phone first. Nice!

Seems to work according to The Verge http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/31/9231701/moto-360-does-work-with-the-iphone http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/31/9231701/moto-360-does-work...

It seems to be that if you have an older Android Wear watch and have previously paired it with an Android device to get the latest version of Android Wear then it'll work. Otherwise if you want out-of-the-box support you need a newer watch that already shipped with the version of Android Wear that supports iOS.

Confirmed, I just got my LG G Watch (the cheap square one) working with my iPhone

  Good news! I wonder if this means ALL Android Wear will work. Hopefully someone makes a list. I kinda miss my Android Wear when I moved to iOS and I didn't want an Apple Watch.

    The trick is to make sure you get the latest Android Wear. That'll require an Android device. Not all iPhone owners will also own an Android device. Edit: You'll need someone's phone for a few hours - the updates don't come all at once. But it's a matter of installing the Wear app on an Android device, pairing, installing updates. Then wipe the watch and pair with iPhone

      How involved is this process if I borrow someone else's phone to do so?

        It's not bad; I inadvertently did this trying to use the hacks to get my Moto 360 to work on my iPhone several months ago (which kinda worked but was really shitty). I just installed Android Wear on my old Android phone, paid it, it offered the update pretty quickly (though I can't remember if there is a way to force this or if it's only automatic), installed it and then I reset it.
