Google today added support for Android Wear to its Android Device Manager tool. With it, people will be able to locate their misplaced Android smartphone by asking their watch to find it. Smartwatch wearers can use a voice search or the menu system to locate a lost phone, which will ring at full volume when prompted. Android Device Manager is similar to Apple's "Find My iPhone" tool in that it helps people find their missing devices. Google said support for Android Wear is rolling out over the next few weeks.
