What if your phone has a lock?

[Naudan]

I cant seem to find anything about this --- Does the watch work if your phone has a password lock on it?

My company makes me lock my phone with a password before I can use it. I have a Droid MAXX and if I try to use google now, it will "work" but then it will say " Please unlock your phone to continue".

Will I get a similar issue with the Google Wear platform if I want to search, send text messages, get my emails, etc? Or does the bluetooth link remove that limitation/lock.

My understanding is that the watch is able to securely access your phone (and its data) without requiring you to unlock the phone each time, so I imagine most functions will work just fine.

That is, at least, the way it works with my Pebble. I don't have an Android Wear device (yet) so I can't say for 100% sure that it's the same, but maybe one of our early adopters will be able to confirm that for you.

Is your lock just a simple code like on all devices out do you have a special company one?
