I know the other replies explained a bit, but if anyone's curious for details, the Qualcomm processor in question is Snapdragon Wear 2100.
This was launched in February 2016 [1] and there's hasn't been an update since.
Hopefully with Google going through this rebranding exercise they know something about upcoming hardware that we don't. As it stands they've ceded their position for Android smartwatches to Samsung and Fitbit and will have some catching up to do.

- pjmlp 9y agoThe big difference is that Tizen with C/C++/JavaScript and Fitbit with SVG/JavaScript seem to be more user friendly (battery life, performance) than whatever Google is trying to do with fitting Android into a watch.
- wlesieutre 9y agoI haven't used one, but I really like the design concept that Samsung landed on with the rotating bezel. It's a bummer that Apple doesn't allow for any significant integration by 3rd party smartwatches on iOS, otherwise it'd be in the running for when my pebble dies. On one hand, I'm still not sold on needing many "smart" features beyond fitness tracking and maybe TOTP codes. If I can't send texts or shop on Amazon from my watch I'm sure life will go on. But if you're missing out on smartwatch features, that makes the price hard to swallow compared to devices like the Amazfit Bip.
