After an initially announced late 2016 release date, Google revealed that they were going to be delaying the release of their latest smartwatch operating system, Android Wear 2.0. Google then officially announced that they will start to roll out the new wearable operating system version on Feb. 15. Unfortunately, no update was rolled out, which has now resulted in concerns about why it hadn't arrived yet.

Google originally unveiled the new Android Wear 2.0 operating system at their annual Google I/O event back in May of last year. The company detailed the various new features and changes to the new software, which includes a revamped UI, built-in keyboard, handwriting recognition, and better notifications. The various features, as outlined by Trusted Reviews, had excited a lot of Android smartwatch owners who were looking forward to updating their device to the new operating system.

Several companies such as Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, and Diesel had already unveiled their latest Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch offerings. However, the release of the new products could be delayed to an ongoing issue at Google.

After the first delay, Google has now announced yet another hiccup in their rollout and explained that they had to stop rolling out the software due to a bug that was discovering during their final testing. As reported by Wearable, Google released a statement explaining that they are currently working to resolve the issue and that they will push out the update once it is resolved.

The company also announced that three devices will be getting the updated software by next week. As per Android Pit, the three watches are the Fossil Q Founder, the Tag Heuer Connected, and the Casio Smart Outdoor Watch WSD-F10. For the rest of the smartwatch owners who have devices such as the Nixon Mission, Polar M600, Moto 360, or the Asus ZenWatch, it might still be a while before the update becomes available.
