A few weeks ago, Google announced Android Wear 2.0. The new version of the operating system made its debut on the LG Watch Sport and LG Watch Style and is expected to come to other smartwatches eventually including the ASUS ZenWatch 2 and ZenWatch 3.

Earlier this month, ASUS confirmed that it will update the ZenWatch 2 and 3 to Android Wear 2.0. But it looks like it will take some time before the update rolls out to the company’s smartwatches. Responding to a user’s question on Twitter, ASUS North America said that the ZenWatch 2 and 3 will be bumped up to Android Wear 2.0 in early Q2.

@jclendineng Hey Joel — the Android Wear 2.0 roll-out start date was last week, however, AW 2.0 will not come to the ZW 2/3 till early Q2.

The second quarter of the year starts on April 1 and ends on June 30, which means that the update should be available sometime in April or at the beginning of May at the latest if everything goes as planned.

If you own an ASUS ZenWatch 2 or 3, you have something to look forward to. The update will bring a bunch of new features to your smartwatch including standalone apps, smarter watch faces, and the popular Google Assistant that will allow you to interact with your watch with voice commands.
