Sources point out that the Skagen Falster Gen 6 might be the first to get this update. The recent update to the Skagen companion app proves that Wear OS 3 is coming to the brand’s smartwatches. Here is all you need to know about this update.
Big changes to the Skagen companion app with the latest update
For those who aren’t aware, Skagen is a sub-brand of Fossil, and the latter already supports Wear OS 3 on their smartwatches. Skagen is yet to roll out support for Google’s latest Wear OS version to its smartwatches. But the latest update to the companion app shows that Wear OS 3 is coming to the brand’s smartwatches. This update is currently available for the iOS version of the Skagen companion app. It will roll out to the brand’s Android companion app, but while waiting for the update, here is what to expect. With the update, lots of big changes improving user experience are coming to the app. Some of these changes include easy personalization, customization, troubleshooting guides, and so on. But of importance is the support for Google’s Wear OS 3 software. With this software, Skagen and other smartwatch manufacturers can maintain their companion app on either smartphone operating system. Previously, the Skagen companion app didn’t support the brand’s watches that ran Wear OS. The latest version of the smartwatch operating system from Google now permits manufacturers to maintain their products with one app. Now, users no longer need to download the Google Wear OS app to maintain their smartwatches. This update is an improvement and will get a massive welcome from Skagen users around the world. The app update for Android is still in the development stage and might soon be readily available. Next will be a Wear OS 3 update for the Falster Gen 6 smartwatch.
