Our expectations for Android and Wear OS smartwatches in 2025.


Season’s greetings to all Wear OS watch owners as we approach the new year! Reflecting on the progress of Wear OS in 2024, I am excited to share my predictions for the future of Android smartwatches in 2025. Anticipating a year of transformation and innovation in Wear OS watches, I foresee both promising updates and some potential challenges ahead.

One significant development to look forward to in 2025 is the introduction of new Snapdragon hardware, possibly incorporating RISC-V architecture. With a focus on enhanced features and AI capabilities, the upcoming Snapdragon W5 Gen 2 chip is expected to power Wear OS watches for years to come.

Additionally, Google’s collaboration with Qualcomm on RISC-V technology is set to further optimize the performance and efficiency of Wear OS devices, potentially extending battery life and providing new functionality for users.

Despite these advancements, there may be some uncertainties in the Wear OS landscape for 2025. Factors such as brand-specific challenges and varying update timelines could impact the user experience for Android watch owners. However, the overall outlook for Wear OS watches in the coming year is optimistic, with a strong focus on health and fitness features, advanced AI integration, and potential collaborations with leading tech companies.

As we look ahead to 2025, the future of Wear OS promises exciting possibilities and innovations that will continue to elevate the smartwatch experience for users across the globe.
