Following the availability of Android Wear 2.0 update, reports have suggested that Google is finally rolling it out to other smartwatches. Which brands of the wearable would be receiving the software upgrade?  What is the exact timeframe for the tech giant to implement it?

To recall, the availability of the update for the other wrist gadget brands was pushed back because of a reported bug. Initially, Google made it available for the Casio Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10, the Tag Heur Connected, and Fossil Q Founder last March 29. The update was originally scheduled for release last year.

Five more smartwatches will receive the much-awaited Android Wear 2.0 update. These are the Polar M600, the Nixon Mission, the Fossil Q Wander, the Fossil Q Marshal, and Michael Kors Access.

While some may not believe these speculations, Polar Global has confirmed this via Twitter, after someone asked them to confirm the news.

"@PolarGlobal Any date set for AW 2.0 update on #polarm600 yet?" George Kouzari posted.

"@kouzari Starting today, the update will roll out gradually within the next week. M600 will notify you automatically :)," the company responded to the inquiry on the availability of the Android Wear 2.0 update.

Accordingly, this is just the start of the continued rollout. To date, only eight out of the 19 smartwatches waiting for the software upgrade have already received it.

The gadget's software update will bring users several new features, including the following: 

1.       Standalone apps, which makes sending data to the smartwatch apps easier since it does not have to be near to the phone where it is connected;

2.       Complication API, which enables developers to incorporate those data from other apps on the faces of their smartwatches; and,

3.       Google Assistant.

The Android Wear 2.0 update is designed to make "smartwatch experiences better and faster," as how David Singleton, vice president of Google's Android Engineering, puts it.
