Waiting for this by holding my LG urbane 2nd edition, once it’s updated i can start
Customising extra buttons, use android pay, navigate faster, add complications and more. Come on Google
this is b. s. this should not effect the huawei watch. it had a working developmer preview forever now so why are we still waiting? and I if it was good enough to say they were going to release it then the bug must not be that crucial and Could be patched.
