The Montblanc summit 3 will run wear OS 3. It’ll be the first smartwatch on the new unified platform to support iOS.
The summit 3 is n’t the first smartwatch to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon wear 4100 plus platform. The fact that it also supports iOS is a significant departure from other confirmed wear OS 3 watches.
Older wear OS 2 and Samsung Tizen-powered smartwatches can be upgraded to wear OS 3 later this year. It’s still unclear whether they’ll still be iOS-compatible once upgraded.
The summit 3 will have a dedicated companion app on both iOS and Android that will act as a’bridge between phone and watch’. Fossil and Mobvoi may also have to develop their own apps if they want to keep iOS users in the mix.
The summit 3 will work with iPhones, but does n’t mean iOS users will get the same wear OS 3 experience as Android users.
