If a new Apple Watch debuts this fall, Google is likely to have a major new smartwatch (or watches) debuting right alongside it, powered by Qualcomm chips.

Pankaj Kedia, senior director and business lead for Qualcomm's Smart Wearables Segment, said as much yesterday in a story reported by Wareable. But I sat down at Google's I/O developers conference with Kedia and Dennis Troper, the new product director for Google's recently renamed Wear OS, to get more information on what to expect next. It's clear that the next wave of Wear OS smartwatches will be faster. They'll also, however, be much more about getting the increasingly intelligent Google Assistant on your wrist.
