So, Google should focus only making software for smartwatches? Not dabble in things like wireless headphones or smart speakers as Apple is doing? A very close relative to iOS is powering the Apple TV and the HomePod, and watchOS is also based on iOS. But if Google is doing something similar, they got it all wrong?"Wearable" is a universal term that applies to a wide range of fashion categories. When you design a software that could be used in wide range of potential products, you end up compromising and it greatly increases the scope of what it needs to do.
By narrowing the focus to just a watch category, developers and designers can focus on making a great watch product and nothing else.

What percentage of Apple Watches are sold to Android users do you think? About none, as you need an iPhone to configure the Apple Watch. Meaning, Android Wear smartwatches have a significantly larger market than the Apple Watch. If somebody doesn't have an iPhone, all the Apple Watch marketing is very unlikely to get her or him to buy one.I also have to say that I think Android watches don’t nearly have the marketing that Apple does. Everywhere I go, it’s the Apple Watch on TV, billboards, magazine articles, etc. Not to mention, the iPhone being highly popular, it’s natural that one would choose the Apple Watch.
