Hello folks, I am about to enter the WearOS scene and I have a couple of questions
1. What is the minimum WearOS version that I can use Compose Wear? (Can I target just any Wear OS version)?
2. What are the current watches that comes with that version (or higher)?
3. What watch would you recommend me to buy so that I can have a better DX?

Technically 25, but majority of devices will be Wear 3 (30) and probably Wear 4 (33). There are diverse devices if you target 25, like round with chin or rectangle. So I'd suggest 28 or 30 is the sweet spot to get almost all devices.

Samsung galaxy watch 4, 5, 6 is the most common device. That and Google Pixel Watch are all Wear 4 (33) with OTA updates.

Google Pixel Watch 2 has usb data. So adb is easier without WiFi connections.

Thank you so much for your recommendations. Will it be wiser if i go for a Samsung galaxy watch 6?
