  • Google claims its goal is to release annual updates to Wear OS as it does for mobile.
  • The new commitment is to ensure the latest Android features are incorporated quickly to support mobile.
  • OEM’s will be expected to push out updates.

With the arrival of the Pixel Watch, Google has a renewed interest in its wearable operating system. Along with that renewed interest, Google is committing itself to delivering updates to Wear OS similar to how it does with Android.

In an interview with Wired, Director of Product Management for Wear OS, Björn Kilburn, stated that Google’s goal is to “release a new version of Wear generally every year in a similar fashion to mobile.” This would mean that the company plans on releasing Wear OS updates about as frequently as it does for phones.
