New Honor Watch GS Pro with 25 day battery life - Another new smartwatch with long battery life but no Wear OS in sight

The new Honor Watch GS Pro is a rugged smartwatch that features a circular dial with a 1.39-inch AMOLED touch screen display. The watch is powered by Huawei’s Kirin A1 chip and it boasts of battery life of up to 25 days on a single charge. The Honor Watch GS Pro comes with GPS built-in, which will help users track their morning run without carrying their smartphones. However, using the GPS feature continuously will drop the battery life to 48 hours.

Google is going to have to seriously do something about Wear OS for two reasons: Firstly all Wear OS watches have a battery life of one or two days max only, and secondly with the Huawei "challenges" it may be more attractive for many OEMs to produce their own OS which they have some certainty over. For me it comes down to whether the watch OS Has a good grocery app and many do not seem to have one, so I'm still stuck on Wear OS watches.
