Google recently announced a branding change to what was previously called Android Wear. Wear OS by Google is the new brand as Google seems to be moving more of its products to the Google name. We saw Apple rename its software to be more in line with its brand last year as well.
If you own an Android Smartwatch, you are probably wondering if your watch will get the upgrade.
Google has confirmed the following devices have received the upgrade:
- Fossil Q Venture
- LG Watch Sport
- Louis Vuitton Tambour
- Michael Kors Sofie
- Montblanc Summit
- Hugo BOSS BOSS Touch
- Movado Connect
- Tommy Hilfiger 24/7 You
- Guess Connect
- Gc Connect
- Fossil Q Founder 2.0
- Fossil Q Marshal
- Fossil Q Wander
- Michael Kors Access Bradshaw
- Michael Kors Access Dylan
- TAG Heuer Tag Connected Modular 45
- Diesel Full Guard
- Emporio Armani Connected
- Fossil Q Explorist
- Michael Kors Access Grayson
- Fossil Q Control
- LG Watch Style
- Misfit Vapor
- Nixon Mission
Google has provided the following list of devices which are currently pursuing the upgrade:
- Casio PRO TREK Smart WSD-F20
- Casio WSD-F10 Smart Outdoor Watch
- Huawei Watch 2
- Mobvoi Ticwatch S & E
- Polar M600
- ZTE Quartz
Though there doesn’t seem to be a lot going on in the Android Smartwatch market, this perhaps could breath new life into the market which we thought Google was slowly backing out of.
There still are no smartwatches for sale in Google’s store, but Google did move away from selling products other than their own branded products last year. The Wear OS by Google website showcases a variety of smartwatches that run Wear OS but none are available for sale directly from that website.
