Wear OS 2.0 with the help of Google Assistant seems like a step in the right direction
Google recently rebranded its Android Wear operating system to Wear OS. With the rebranding, the company brought a lot of changes to the operating system (OS). One of the major changes was the integration of Google Assistant into the OS. Smartwatches till now may seem like a hit or a miss to some, but integration of Google Assistant into them seems like a step in the right direction. Today we will be listing five smartwatches which look good and run on Google’s Wear OS 2.0 and have Google Assistant at your disposal.
Huawei Watch 2 (Rs 25,999)
Huawei Watch 2 packs in a lot of sensors to appeal to the fitness crowd
The Huawei Watch 2 is one of the most rugged looking smartwatch on this list. It features a 1.2-inch AMOLED display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 processor, which is one of the latest processors released specifically for smart watches by Qualcomm. To appeal to a much more sporty crowd, Huawei has filled the smartwatch with a lot of sensors, which do make the watch a bit more bulkier than most of the other smartwatches in the market. But the company claims that users will be able to use it for six days on a single charge.
Fossil Gen 3 Q Explorist (Rs 19,995)
The Fossil Gen 3 Q Explorist is available in both metal and leather strap options
Fossil unlike most of the other manufacturers on this list isn’t a tech brand, but a conventional watch brand. The experience of making premium watches since 1984 is what they bring to this comparatively new segment of the market. The Fossil Gen 3 Q Explorist is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 2100 chip too. It sports a 1.73-inch OLED display with a rotatable dial on top which is very functional. The interchangeability of the straps makes the watch a lot more versatile, it can be dressed up or down as per the taste of the user.

Motorola Moto 360 was one of the first round dial smartwatches to be released in the market

It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, this Wear OS 2.0 based smartwatch delivers all your notifications, tracks your daily life activity and of course, tells time.
