In what could come as a disappointment for many Sony fans, the Japanese electronics giant is not going to update its SmartWatch 3 SWR50 with Google's recently released Android Wear 2.0. This means Sony's latest smartwatch will remain on Android Wear 1.5 version.
Owners of Sony SmartWatch 3 will be upset but many might have seen it coming as David Singleton, VP of Engineering, Android Wear, had left out the smartwatch in the list of devices that will receive Android Wear 2.0. Moreover, the SmartWatch 3 was released in 2014, while all the devices in the eligible list were launched in 2015 or later.
