Huawei Watch 2, ZTE Quartz and five other Android Wear watches are set to be upgraded to Android Oreo soon.
Android Oreo is on its way to Android Wear watches across the globe as we heard late last year, but now we’ve had word of seven new watches that will also be getting the update.
The new watches include the Casio Pro TREK Smart WSD-F20, Casio WSD-F10 Smart Outdoor Watch, Huawei Watch 2, Ticwatch S, Ticwatch E, Polar M600 and the ZTE Quartz .

Those features aren’t groundbreaking – it’s some improvements to the battery life and added customization options (such as being able to change the vibration levels), as well as support for extra languages. Even more watches
We know for certain the Huawei Watch 2 has already begun receiving the update in some markets. Some of those who are getting the update outside of the US and UK are also finding that the upgrade is bricking the Android Pay feature.
