smartwatches, offering universal support and a
robust app platform. But after a series of delays to
Android Wear 2.0 last year, Google finally released

took months to reach first-generation devices, and
most manufacturers passed on releasing new 2.0
models. Maybe the third time will be the charm, but
we kind of doubt it.
