Android Wear Oreo update tracker (Update: More watches receive Oreo)
Google says the devices below are "currently pursuing" the Android Wear Oreo update. We don't know if that means it's rolling out, about to roll out, or rolling out in a year's time, but the update has already been spotted on the HUAWEI Watch 2 so it's likely happening now or very soon for all of them. Here's the list:
- Casio PRO TREK Smart WSD-F20
- Casio WSD-F10 Smart Outdoor Watch
- HUAWEI Watch 2
- Mobvoi Ticwatch S & E
- Polar M600
- ZTE Quartz
Regarding the HUAWEI Watch 2, there are reports that the update disables the Android Pay app outside of the US and UK. This was never officially made available for Android Wear in other regions but people had been using it without a problem. If you're an Android Pay user in another territory, might want to think twice about upgrading.
For the full list of watches receiving the Oreo update, head to the coverage underneath.
Google has announced the rollout of Android Oreo for Android Wear. While not as significant an update as Android Wear 2.0 was, the new Oreo software will nonetheless bring some useful tweaks, including a Touch Lock — supposed to help in wet conditions — notification channels, battery improvements, and adjustable vibration strength (you can read about what else is included in the update here).
