Two and a half years ago, all seemed lost for Wear OS. The Android platform, which was built specifically for smartwatches and wearables, was hobbling along with random Fossil and TicWatch options amidst a clear lack of commitment from Google, while facing the Goliath of the Apple Watch. But oh, how quickly can things change! I think Wear OS is in a better place now than it’s ever been, thanks to Samsung mostly, but also Fitbit, Xiaomi, Qualcomm, and potentially OnePlus. And it might be just about ready to properly compete with Apple.

For the first time in many years, I’m genuinely excited about Wear OS. Why? Let me explain.
