The Ultimate Guide to Wear OS 3 Compatible Watches
WearOS 3 Watches
Google has transformed WearOS over the past few years, turning the smartwatch software into a worthy competitor for other platforms. After a long period of stagnation, Google’s partnership with Samsung in 2021 paved the way for the rapid evolution of Wear OS 3.
Wear OS: Google’s Smartwatch Software
Like all smartwatches, each device runs on a specific software platform. Apple Watch relies on watchOS, while Fitbit devices use Fitbit OS. Wear OS is Google’s equivalent, partnering with companies like Samsung, Fossil, Mobvoi, Tag Heuer, and Montblanc to deliver the software across various devices.
Wear OS 3: Key Features and Updates
The most significant update to Google’s smartwatch platform is Wear OS 3.0, which offers improved apps and new integrations. As of now, there are 10+ smartwatches that can run Wear OS 3, with more devices expected to receive the update by the end of 2022. However, some Wear OS 2-compatible devices will not be eligible for the update.
Compatibility with Wear OS 3
While the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 lineup was the first to receive Wear OS 3 in 2021, the full rollout has been slow. As a result, some users are still waiting for their existing watches to be updated. Google has confirmed that it will provide two years of security updates for devices stuck on Wear OS 2.
List of Smartwatches Running Wear OS 3
Below is a comprehensive list of smartwatches confirmed to run Wear OS 3. Existing Fossil watches and the Tag Heuer Calibre E4 have been updated, and several devices have launched with Wear OS 3. The only remaining devices are the Mobvoi TicWatches, whose status remains uncertain.
