This simple app will show you notifications about the state of your phone network connection on the Android Wear device. Just one glance to know if you are using Wifi, LTE, UMTS or if you are currently offline! See the signl strength in percent or dBm and the current network name! The information will automatically update every time the watch wakes up from ambient mode.
You even get a notification if your watch looses the Bluetooth connection to the phone. This makes any 'forgot my phone' app unnecessary!
The notifications can be customized through the companion app on the phone and it is also possible to only show the notification cards manually on the watch.
