Though the list includes most of the smartwatches available in the market but it has also skipped some including Moto 360 gen 1, Sony Smartwatch 3, Asus ZenWatch etc, meaning that these will not get the latest update. Android Wear 2.0 will be available for all supported watches in the coming weeks, however, don’t expect them to receive the update all at once. Just like Android updates, this update process will take time to reach all the users.
