Android Wear Oreo update tracker (Update: Now rolling out to four more watches)

Update (12/13): Google is rolling out Android Oreo to four more Android Wear devices. These are the Guess Connect, Hugo BOSS BOSS Touch, Movado Connect, and Tommy Hilfiger 24/7 You. The Gc Connect has also been removed from the support list. Google has announced the rollout of Android Oreo for Android Wear. While not as significant an update as Android Wear 2.0 was, the new Oreo software will nonetheless bring some useful tweaks, including a Touch Lock — supposed to help in wet conditions — notification channels, battery improvements, and adjustable vibration strength (you can read about what else is included in the update here). Now, Google has revealed a list of Android Wear devices set to receive the update on its Android Wear help page (via Android Police), though we don’t know when individual watches will receive it. We’ll be tracking the progress of the Android Wear Oreo update deployment in the coming weeks and months in this article and you can find out what we know so far below.
