Maybe someone can explain this to me.
Why does Google want to compete in wearables? Why do companies feel the need to spend time/money investing in a product for no apparent reason besides the fact they aren't? Google (and tech) has always found its success in developing new markets, not chasing existing ones. That's some Balmer era Microsoft group-think.
Is it just investor pressure?

Google Assistant on a watch that that worked as well as Apple's would be amazing. Despite years of runway, no OEM has been able to make a competitor to Apple Watch with Assistant. I think Google has decided they'll just have to do it themselves.
