Manufacturers of wearables such as the smartwatch should be on the term more opportunities for Android Wear at its own discretion to adjust. The mobile operating system from Google has now, but only a few options for manufacturers to differentiate themselves.

In an interview with Re/code, Google ceo Hiroshi Lockheimer, who joined the company the function of vice president of engineering, and holds, that the lack of customization in Android Wear is not a permanent situation’. Soon require the manufacturers of wearables to self-adjustments to the OS to do, so that they are better able to distinguish.

Also with the use of Android on tvs, or in the car looks to broaden the opportunities for manufacturers to make adjustments yourself. Google has with Android TV and Android Auto two custom operating systems that are focused.

According to Lockheimer be there soon with the introduction of the previously announced ZenWatch from Asus some of the new possibilities for manufacturers demonstrated. What exactly, is not specified. Wanted the ceo to say that his company is still looking for the ‘optimal balance’ when it comes to customization of its software by manufacturers.

For now we have smartwatch running Android Wear, all with the same interface. Manufacturers must, therefore, differentiate on hardware. Among others, LG, Samsung, Motorola and Asus have smartwatch announced with Google’s mobile operating system.
