Huawei tch: One of the best watches from last year has been languishing without Android ar 2.0 until it arrived this week. You get most of the cool Android ar 2.0 features, like the on-device ay Store, redesigned interface, swankier animations. You can check by going to Settings > About > System updates. Some were able to trigger the update by repeatedly tapping the green “System is up to date” screen. That trick didn’t work for me, so if you’re in the same situation you’ll just have to wait.
