Google delays Android Wear 2.0 update rollout for most smartwatches
July 20, 2025
Earlier this week, Google confirmed that it had started the big over-the-airAndroid Wear 2.0update to three of the older Android Wear 1.0 smartwatches: theFossil Q Founder, the Casio Smart Outdoor Watch, and the TAG Heuer Connected. However, the company is now saying the update has been delayed for most of the remaining older devices slated to get Android Wear 2.0.
In a statement sent toWareable, a Google spokesperson said that the update has been delayed for the remaining smartwatches “due to a bug found in final testing”. It added that it will push the update out as soon as the bug is fixed but the statement didn’t give any kind of timeline for when that issue is expected to be resolved.
Oddly, Polar’s Twitter account has confirmed that owners of itsPolar M600 watchwill be getting the Android Wear 2.0 update starting today, so it appears there will be at least one exception to this issue:
