After announcing that from now on Android Wear will be known as Wear OS, Google also released the complete list of devices that will be getting the new, mostly cosmetic update.
Since there are actually no big changes coming with the new update, save for the naming scheme and logo, the lists of smartwatches that will get the Wear OS treatment is almost identical to the list of wearables that are poised to get Android 8.0 Oreo. Google published it back in December. A
We say almost because the current list includes a few new additions like the Skagen Falster, which was announced post-December.
Anyway, without further ado, here’s the complete list of smartwatches scheduled to get the WearOS update.

Once again, this is a cosmetic update which will not bring new features. However, note that the Android Wear application on your phone will also get bumped to the new Wear OS by Google app.
Interestingly, this app does come with a few improvements including improved screen glanceability with darker backgrounds and improved Google Keep experience. These are minor adjustments, but nevertheless welcome ones.
Expect the smartwatches on the list to get the update in the coming weeks.
