In the past year (2015) we have seen the world of Android Wear to grow in an extraordinary way with the release of the best smartwatches of today, and many users were very curious with what was going to arrive during 2016. Despite the release of Android Wear 2.0 on the part of Google, just one of the large manufacturers launched a new smartwatch Android Wear in 2016, and the remaining will not bring improvements before next year.
there is No doubt that Huawei, LG and Lenovo (Motorola) are the three largest manufacturers with regard to smartwatches Android Wear and have become already a constant in the launch of new devices during the past few years. However, this year it seems that all of them have decided to put the brakes on the development of Android devices Wear, announcing that it will not perform any release until at least the beginning of 2017.
One of the main reasons stated in the news published by CNet on the pause applied by these manufacturers is the fact that the market of the smartwatches have almost stagnated during the last few months, with the Apple to present a decline of 55% in sales of its Apple Watch-first generation.
Probably the return of the launches of new smartwatches Android Wear will be dependent on changes in the behavior of users within this market. Perhaps it’s now the reveal that the market of smartwatches will never be as competitive and "fierce" as the smartphones, because users do not feel the need to replace their smartwatches so quickly.
