Android Wear 2.0 Announced

[Jonny Kansas]

I updated the Android Wear app on my Pixel XL, but when I checked for updates on my Moto 360 2nd Gen it says I'm current. Anyone get 2.0 installed on their 360 yet?

Everything so far says that existing watches will see the update "in coming weeks." AFAIK, it's not available on any watch yet. I would imagine they'll wait at LEAST until these new watches ship before pushing it to watches already in the wild.

That would be my guess also, we won't see it until the new watches start to sell. We can't be first.

DEAL ALERT
Fossil is having a SmartWatch sale. Every wearable is 25% off with promo code: LOVEQ25
I don't think any of them have NFC, though, so if Android Pay from your watch is must have for you, ignore this.
Fossil Smartwatches

Just to give you 2 examples:
Fossil's most expensive watch is $315 - 25% (78.75) = $236.25
The Hybrid watches (sort of like those Martians, remember those?) with a true watch face and replaceable battery are $195 - 25% ($48.75) = $146.25.

Good prices if you don't care about the flat tire and the lack of a heartrate sensor.

As with most things on the Internet, take this with a grain of salt (or more). I read on PC Adviser that existing watches will start to receive AW 2.0 on Feb 15th. And it's rolling out in waves, as always.

It'd be great if it starts that soon, but I won't hold my breath.

you can actually flash android wear 2.0 on your watch right now if you feel brave enough

Nope I do not want to brick my watch.

It's pretty brick proof actually as long as you flash the correct build.

The only builds I saw on that website were the original two developer watches. I'm fine waiting on the OTA; not super excited about like I was months ago.

My contract ended on my Gear S Thursday. Last year I was excited that it was coming up AW2 was coming soon and there'd be so much more potential and models to choose from,2 platforms with standalone capabilities, etc. Now? Meh. If my SIM card on my S keeps acting up I'm just gonna save some money each month and drop the call capability on it.

Put my Watch Urbane on the charger tonight & put it in theater mode before brushing my teeth & all of that good stuff.

Came back to tuck myself in & realized the I'd turned BT off on my phone. I only do that on nights that the watch doesn't need a charge because I turn the watch off.

Turned BT back on on the phone & then went to check the watch. "Charge to install".

A watch OS update!

It's still booting up. Am I crazy to think that it's 2.0 already?

Maybe just a security patch? It had a build number, but I didn't think to make a note of it.

Sure is taking a long time to boot...

Trying to stall so I can delete all of this & just post my findings. Not working.

Standby for an update.

Anyone else seeing updates of any kind on their watch?

Just checked. I'm "up to date". So maybe not the Feb security patch?
