These are the Android Wear smartwatches getting the Wear OS update

• Google rebranded Android Wear to Wear OS, though the changes are mostly cosmetic.

Google's rebranding of Android Wear to Wear OS might not have been entirely surprising, but it was still noteworthy. Less noteworthy are the changes with Wear OS, since there are none.

Because of that, Google's list of Android Wear smartwatches that will get the Wear OS update is almost identical to the December list of smartwatches that would get Android 8.0 Oreo. A couple of new additions include the Skagen Falster and TAG Heuer Connected Modular 41, as they were announced in the time since that December list.

Here is the full list of devices that will get Wear OS:

• Casio PRO TREK Smart WSD-F20
• Casio WSD-F10 Smart Outdoor Watch
• Diesel Full Guard
• Emporio Armani Connected
• Fossil Q Control
• Fossil Q Explorist
• Fossil Q Founder 2.0
• Fossil Q Marshal
• Fossil Q Venture
• Fossil Q Wander
• Guess Connect
• Gc Connect
• Huawei Watch 2 (both cellular & non-cellular versions)
• Hugo BOSS BOSS
