In the two and a half years since Qualcomm unveiled its last smartwatch chip, the landscape has changed quite a bit. Apple has become the far-and-away leader in wearables, Fitbit has launched a full-on smartwatch and app platform, and Google has redesigned and renamed Android Wear to Wear OS.

While we could bore you with hundreds of words about how the new processor will work, we'd rather tell about the things that matter, like how it will make the next round of Wear OS watches even better. So, here are four reasons you'll want your next watch to have a Snapdragon Wear 3100 inside.
