Google officially announced that it would be renaming Android Wear to Wear OS by Google, “a wearables operating system for everyone.”
Google appears to be separating the product from the Android name and making it appear more universal.
Google confirmed the change this morning, saying that the new name “better reflects our technology, vision, and most important of all—the people who wear our watches.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Google change the name of one of its products away from the Android-branding this year. Just last month, Android Pay was officially rebranded to Google Pay.
