The latest update has introduced audio AR:

  • Added Audio AR and head tracking for Sony’s LinkBuds Series. With Sony's LinkBuds or LinkBuds S connected via Bluetooth and head tracking enabled, when you turn your head to the left or right, your Agent Avatar will also turn to the left or right. You can leave your Scanner in your pocket in Battery Saver Mode and hear where Portals are located near you, giving you more spatial awareness of your surroundings.

Now, as it stands, cool but useless. Especially the line:

"You can leave your Scanner in your pocket in Battery Saver Mode and hear where Portals are located near you, giving you more spatial awareness of your surroundings."

Great, but what's the point of listening to portals and not playing? I think this is personally the best opportunity to bring back the watch app. I used it all the time, secretly hacking my work portal. Having an upgraded version with auto-hacking, ability to key hack etc would be great.

Apple already have a successful watch, and Android has been making great strides to catch up, with Google releasing a new Pixel watch soon as well.

Having a wrist based app will be a great replacement to the never released "Mod Band"

and give us something extra like Pokemon GO players have with the "Go-tcha" wristband.
