Google’s new smartwatch operating system, WearOS, became official a few days ago. The will of the company of Mountain View is to not only change the name of its product but also to improve what the operating system created for digital clocks can do.
Basically, what Google wanted to do with the change from Android Wear to WearOS is to be sought in the marketing strategy but also in homogenizing operating systems so as not to create confusion in users, especially those who use iPhone but want to combine an Android smartwatch.
Which smartwatch will be compatible with WearOS?
With the launch of WearOS, Google has decided to clearly clarify which smartwatch can actually use the new platform launched just a few days ago. Actually the change, even if substantial, does not change the specifications necessary for the installation on smartwatch and the list of compatible devices seems to remain, at least at the moment, intact compared to before.
For greater completeness and clarity, here is the complete list of all wearable devices compatible with the new WearOS :
- Casio PRO TREK Smart WSD-F20
