Many are the rumors and problems that Google is having in recent months with everything related to the platform for Android Wear smartwatches. The announcement of the delay of the launch of the final version, currently in beta, meant that some manufacturers considered twice continuing to offer smartwatches in the market and Motorola is the clearest example, after announcing that it was leaving this market to focus in other devices that if they are reporting benefits. According to one of Android's biggest sources, Evan Blass, Android could release the final version of Android Wear 2.0 on February 9.
Evan has confirmed the specific launch date, since we had previously informed you about Google's plans to launch the final version of Android Wear 2.0 in February, a final version that the main manufacturers are waiting to be able to launch the new models who have been in the bedroom for several months waiting for this Android Wear update.
The main reasons that Google argued when it announced the delay in this launch, had to do with the quality and the problems that the company apparently had had with the latest versions that it had released, forcing the company to delay the launch to avoid launching a version that was anything but stable.
