Wear OS is in a much better place that it was six months ago. In the new 2.1 update, Google changed the main watch face and everything is simpler and easier to use. Pair that with news of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 3100 processor and smartwatches for Android users start looking a lot less grim. In this week’s Processor, Dieter revisits what’s next for Wear OS smartwatches.

What would convince you to buy a Wear OS smartwatch?
I want a fully standalone, waterprooft smart watch with a good battery and nice design. Untill then these things are not for me.
Which is the best smarwatch available for Android phones
It’s still possible to operate it without touching the watch?
Can it run Doom?
Yes, please again from this kind 🙋♂️
Battery life and design. Most of the watches out there are horrible big bulky adventure watches. Give me a beautiful, simple, scandi design watch with good battery life and I will buy buy buy
Bias.
I don’t know anything about Apple’s watch OS. What does it have that WearOS doesn’t?
Some of us want: Fitness; Waterproof; Music; Battery. Notifications/Calling a plus.
One VERY useful Information. Thanks to The Verge. Hope you will update us more in due time. <3
Great videos Dieter! Very informative. Please keep us posted as things progress on Wear OS.
But can I play flappy bird on my watch?
Are there more smartwatches with a rotating ringl?
Oh god the notification centre on the Apple watch still looks much better
Update this video topic please
Yes if its cheap like a huawei watvh gt i will update my lg watch urbane
Hey Dieter, I love your reviews and consider you to be the second best technology reviewer on YouTube (after Marques 😁). I didn’t watch this video before. Therefore, I’m commenting now.
PLEASE, do consider that almost all of the features on the Samsung Gear S2, S3, and Galaxy Watch work the same with any Android phone including Samsung phones. It only looses a couple of features while paired to an iPhone.
However, these Samsung watches have considerably beautiful interfaces as compared to the Apple and Wear OS watches. Moreover, Samsung watches now offer a huge number of quality watch-faces on Galaxy Store unlike Apple Watch.
I hope other reviewers will also rectify these important points in their reviews while talking about Samsung’s watches.
Peace man! 🙂
Half a year has passed and not much has really changed. I think only fossil has the new 3100, and the battery isn’t as great as what all the promises has been (my gs3 has the same battery life). The main reason for me to switch from Tizen to wear os is Google pay).
When you swipe right to go to the left and right
God Mode Acquired
I love it
what a great video
so clear no bullish!t all great info no repetitive talk
loved every min of this.
I have the GalaxyWatch w/o a Samsung phone, and I love it.
And Tizen is better than WearOS.
useful podcast
Liking my Ticwatch Pro, but it’s disappointing to still not see new watches with the latest chipset.
LOVE the WearOS Verge videos 😃😝
9 months later, July 2019, can we have an update on where wearOS is now considering the new watches with the 3100 chipset and any software updates?
The Wear OS watch I see myself buying: The Google PixelWatch ‘A’
– Happy owner of the Pixel 3A
Oh finally a chance for a decent Android smart watch. This makes me happy.
Only reason i watch the verge is dieter
Are we expecting pixel watch Pixel 4 release?
Great video — just want I was looking for. Please review the new Fossil gen 5 watch (with the new cpu) so that we can see how the new watch os and cpu work together.
I just feel the fitness portion of any smart watch (Apple and Android included) needs to be easy to access and use. When you are performing a hard work out like running it is hard to fumble with a touch screen. I love that the Galaxy watch knows when you are running and when you stop so it knows when to pause and start the timer. It is SO uncomfortable to swipe to the right then press the pause button (fumbling with the watch) on a touch screen like the Apple watgh. Button presses are easier and faster to work with when you’re working out. That has been my observation.
I want to buy one
Sir I would love to see the comparison between Galaxy watch active 2 LTE version vs fossil gen 5 ‚as I am planning to buy one it would be helpful for me
DO HAVE NFC
I’ve been using an Android OS smartwatch with my iPhone for 4 years now. I can’t stand the Apple Watch even though the compatibility is better. It just looks terrible.
@The Verge It’s time for another update video on wear os fossil gen 5, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 3100 processor
thanks for linking none of these watches btw
I have a Galaxy Watch and LG V50. Should I use Ware OS? Galaxy Wareable all apps are not there or work. Ty
I got the fossil gen 5 with hesitant but it has been a pleasant surprise. I enjoy it more than I thought I would. It’s my first smart watch.
With the Skagen Falster 3 and the Moto 360 3rd gen out now, could you do a follow up to this video for 2020? Thanks in advance.
I just bought the Fossil Gen 5 Juliana and I am glad I did. I move around a lot while keeping my phone in one place. It is nice to get calls and other notifications. Thanks for the update.
anyone know what watch face that is at 2:53 ?
Still today this Explorist Gen 4 is the best looking smartwatch ever made!!!
Even after almost 2 years, Wear OS is still nothing much different, welp.
Sir .… I am confused between Honor magic watch 2 ( 46) and fossil sport 43.… Which should I buy?
Whats your opinion ??
When your an iPhone user but want to have a round watch display
Watching in 2021, what’s next on for wear os and fitbit?
Still one of the most beautiful smartwatches.
