Whether Huawei updates its smartwatches to support Strava, or Samsung continues to release watches like the Watch Pro 5, shows very clearly that smartwatches are going through the current moment so that the same big G makes a general call to all developers so that you can transfer your mobile or tablet applications to this type of portable device.

Time to build apps for Wear OS 3
After Google teamed up with Samsung and Fitbit with the launch of Galaxy Watch and Wear OS 3, truth be told, there’s a new breath of fresh wind which allows sales of this type of wearables to increase.
The launch of Samsung’s Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch 5, via Android Police, propels the platform to the point that Google itself feels it’s time to call on all developers to launch your applications on this platform for wearables.

The free Android
And it is that Google already has in its hands a very important fact: they have multiplied by three the activations of this type of device so far this year. A fact that is worth its weight in gold and that shows the current trend, but it must be borne in mind that it is now Samsung that takes almost practically all the benefits.
With a Huawei which, although it launches the best watches on the market, necessarily does without the Play Store for the reasons we all know, the figures of the Korean company surpasses 2.8 million smartwatches distributed in the second quarter of this year. And that the sales figures for the Galaxy Watch 5 series in the third quarter are not known, which should also propel them.

Now the Google Pixel Watch has not been launched in Europe and other regions, but sooner or later it will arrive, so as Google warns, now is the perfect time to create applications for Wear OS and position them in the application market.
And it is that developers who invest in the Wear OS ecosystem are already receiving their benefits. An example is Todoist which has been upgraded to Wear OS 3 so your growth rate is increased by 50%.
Strava, another of the best applications for Android, by 30%, while Compose for Wear OS, thanks to the new development APIs, has seen first-hand how it has reduced development time by 30%. In other words, it has never been easier to create and develop an application for Wear OS 3.
