Any updates on this?

I am developing a wearOS app which relies on speed data and so far was unable to find a package that implements this functionality. Are there any plans to support watch platforms in the future?

Do you know of any other packages that do support it?

Watch is not part of Flutter.

You have to implement channels to communicate between Flutter and Native (Swift ...) Watch code

WearOS is quite well supported otherwise and mostly runs like any other android app, so I don't think there's a huge difference, except that some device specific APIs require separate plugin support.

Apple Watch isn't supported.

See official doc

Good catch, I mainly care about WearOS, which is the android watch os. This one definitely is supported and there are official packages for it, e.g. https://pub.dev/packages/wear.

Is there any interest in adding wearOS support? I might give it a try if anyone can help me to find out how to do it.

So, no updates?

Flutter doesn't officially support wearable platforms.
