We were really excited when we were able to finally put the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 under the microscope. Samsung and Google joined forces for a smartwatch OS. When the Tizen One UI Watch came out, it was based on Wear OS 3.0. As a result, the market share of Wear OS increased significantly and nibbled away at the success of the Apple Watch.

However, all these were only based on the very successful Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. No other watches with Google’s OS were launched, and Samsung remained alone in its fight for a long time. Meanwhile, there is another model, the Montblanc Summit 3, and a handful of smartwatches that are still scheduled for 2022. The manufacturer of the expensive high-end smartwatch also relies on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 4100+. This SoC or newer is considered a prerequisite for Wear OS 3.0 to run on the device.

All smartwatches with Wear OS 3.0

Hence, we hope that Wear OS 3.0 will pick up speed this year in terms of adoption and want to take a look at which models can expect the update in the familiar NextPit manner. So here is the still very manageable list of smartwatches that are already available with Wear OS 3.0, and will go on sale with Wear OS 3.0, or should it receive an update.

Device name Release date Wear OS update distributed?
Galaxy Watch 4

Fossil Gen 6

Razer x Fossil
2022
TAG Heuer Calibre E4
2022
Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro
2022

As mentioned, the list is still quite manageable for now. Apart from Samsung, it includes Fossil, Mobvoi, TAG Heuer, and of course Google itself, in addition to a few other compatible models. It remains to be seen whether the update to Wear OS 3.0 will be launched this year. At least you know where to look from now on. 

There are also whispers that Xiaomi might roll out a Wear OS 3 watch which is slated for release sometime later this year. 

Do you know of any other models that are missing from our list, or do you just want to let us know which Wear OS 3.0 model you’re looking forward to? If so, feel free to share with us in the comments!
