Some of the watches that will soon get the Android Wear Oreo update include the Diesel Full Guard, Emporio Armani Connected, LG Watch Sport, Fossil Q Venture, and Montblanc Summit.

The post also mentions that only the device manufacturer will have detailed information regarding the availability and timelines for the Android Oreo update on the respective variants.

Back in October, Google had announced that some Android Wear 2.0 features would be pushed to watches via Google Play Store update. The company claims that this will allow timely improvements between software updates released by OEMs.

Google seems to be focusing on its Android Wear catalog of smartwatches at a time when many analysts and s alike wonder if Google is serious about its wearables platform. The company also recently stopped selling all non-Google, Android Wear watches via the Google Store. Apple, earlier this year, became the world's biggest watch maker with the runaway success of its Apple Watch in the last few years.
