With the latest version of Android Wear, smartwatches running it will be completely standalone and won't require a smartphone as a companion. Devices will connect to Wi-Fi networks automatically, and will rely on cellular when you're out and about.

The biggest change comes in the design, though. Google released new and enhanced Material Design guidelines for Wear 2.0. You can check them in the source link below.

Lastly, Android Wear 2.0 introduces new input methods as well as standalone apps.
