Plant Google ein größeres Update für Wear OS?

Google hat für Wear OS wohl endlich mehr vor, nachdem bereits Fitbit übernommen wurde. Jetzt hat Google eine Umfrage online, in der man mehr über die Bedürfnisse und Forderungen der Wear OS-Nutzer erfahren möchte. Diese Umfrage und viele Punkte davon sind womöglich schon ein Hinweis darauf, was Google an Neuerungen für Wear OS in Zukunft umsetzen will. Dazu gehört unter anderem das SpO2 Tracking, das beispielsweise Fitbit zuletzt für die eigenen Fitness-Tracker bereitgestellt hatte. Smartere Alarme, ein verbessertes Schlaf-Tracking und viele andere Dinge stehen auf dieser Liste, die Google seinen Kunden in der besagten Umfrage vorschlägt.

Google hat reichlich Ideen für Wear OS
