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.
