These are bad times for Android Wear. A few weeks ago the main smartwatch manufacturers, including Huawei, LG and Motorola, announced that throughout the remainder of the year, they would not launch any new devices on the market. One of the main reasons that could have motivated this delay, was in almost all probability Google's decision to delay the launch of Android Wear 2.0 until the beginning of next year, a move that logically hurts all manufacturers who had the intention of launching a smartwatch with Android Wear, since they could not offer any function that would differentiate them from the models that will not be updated to this great update of Android Wear.
But apparently, it seems that one of them, Motorola has decided to throw in the towel and as informed to The Verge the head of global product development of the mobile division of Motorola and Lenovo, Shakil Barkat «there is not enough pull in the market to launch a new smartwatch on the market, at least at this moment. Without a Moto in circulation, Google has been left without one of its main dance partners since Android Wear hit the market with the first-generation Moto 360. According to Barket "wearables are not attractive enough for us at least, so for now we will stop launching new models, although this does not mean that in the future we can return to the market."
One of the main functions that Android Wear 2.0 will bring us is to try to make smartwatches more independent from smartphones, adding functions that allow us to control functions directly from our wrist, in addition to offering important improvements in personalization and especially in their performance. At the moment we do not know if the rest of the manufacturer They will continue to bet on Android Wear or although they will make the leap to Tizen, Samsung's operating system, which although it has its limitations in terms of applications, is showing agility, performance and battery consumption far superior to that of Android Wear.
