The forthcoming Montblanc Summit 3<\/a> will not only run Wear OS 3, but it\u2019ll be the first smartwatch on the new unified platform<\/a> to support iOS \u2014 sort of.<\/p>\n

The news \u2014 initially reported by Wareable<\/em><\/a> \u2014 was confirmed to The Verge <\/em>by Qualcomm spokesperson Lauren Miller. The Summit 3 isn\u2019t the first smartwatch to be powered by Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon Wear 4100 Plus platform, but it is the first to launch with Wear OS 3 already installed. The fact that it also supports iOS is a significant departure from other confirmed Wear OS 3 watches. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 4<\/a> lineup and the forthcoming Google Pixel Watch<\/a>, for example, are exclusive to Android users.<\/p>\n

Older Wear OS 2 and Samsung Tizen-powered smartwatches, while never incredibly popular with iPhone owners, do work with iOS. Wear OS 2 watches running on the 4100 Plus chipset can be upgraded to Wear OS 3<\/a> later this year \u2014 though it\u2019s still unclear whether they\u2019ll still be iOS-compatible once upgraded. The fact that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and the Pixel Watch eschewed iOS hinted that Wear OS 3 would be a closed ecosystem. However, Montblanc\u2019s decision to support iPhone users suggests that other Wear OS watchmakers like Fossil and Mobvoi could follow suit for future watches or even retain some form of iOS compatibility when upgrading older watches.<\/p>\n

According to Miller, the Summit 3 will have a dedicated companion app on both iOS and Android that will act as a \u201cbridge between phone and watch.\u201d That also hints that Fossil and Mobvoi may also have to develop their own apps if they want to keep iOS users in the mix.<\/p>\n
