Kellen October 18, 2021 5

The world of Wear OS is in such an awkward state, all because of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 and the fact that it's the only watch line allowed to run Wear OS 3. Google gave Samsung an exclusive on it (at least we're going with that until they say otherwise),...

Kellen October 13, 2021 7

The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra is now official and is without a doubt the most impressive (on paper) from Mobvoi to date. After finding success with last year's TicWatch Pro 3 and the Snapdragon Wear 4100, this new Ultra model has several key upgrades that'll...

Kellen March 1, 2021 12

The newest Moto 360 watch that first launched at the end of 2019 was not made by Motorola. I think we made that clear back then, but for those who missed that launch, a company called eBuyNow is the company that made it under a licensing deal with Motorola....

“OK, Google” has Been Broken on Wear OS for a Long Time, Mmmhmm (Updated: Fixed)

Kellen February 24, 2021 30

"Where is the Wear team - do we have anyone here?" are the words of Dave Burke, Android's VP of engineering, in response to a question two years ago at Google I/O about whether or not Wear OS was a dead platform. Burke followed up that question with jokes or a...
