After months of quiet testing, Google Gemini is finally going mainstream — and it’s not just limited to Pixel Watches anymore. The powerful AI assistant is officially replacing Google Assistant across all Gemini AI on Wear OS and above smartwatches. That means users of Samsung Galaxy Watch, OPPO, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more are now part of the rollout.
🛠️ How to Install Gemini on Your Watch
- Open the Play Store on your smartwatch
- Scroll down and tap “Manage apps”
- Find “Google Gemini on Wear OS”
- Tap to update — once done, Gemini fully replaces Assistant
- You’ll get a prompt saying: “Gemini is now on your watch”
And just like that, your AI assistant gets a major upgrade.
✨ What’s New with Gemini?
- Smarter Voice Interaction: Use “Hey Google,” long-press side button, or add widgets for quick actions
- Visual & Animated Responses: Text, image, and floating icon feedback makes it feel alive
- App Integration: Works with Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Messages, YouTube Music, and more
- Built-In Memory: Remembers tasks, parking spots, and workout plans
- Sleek UI Overhaul: Based on Google’s Material You (Material 3) design
🧑🤝🧑 What Users Are Saying
Reddit users have shared early feedback:
“This is awesome!”
“Finally, an assistant that feels smart.”
But not everyone’s convinced:
“The animations are nice, but what’s the hit to battery life?”
“I hope Google optimizes power consumption soon.”
🧭 Quick Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Smooth integration with Google apps
- Helps during workouts, cooking, or commuting
- Smart voice + memory features
⚠️ Cons
- No offline support yet — requires internet
- Battery usage may increase
🤔 Should You Try It?
If you’re a tech lover or AI enthusiast, definitely try Gemini — just monitor battery performance in the first few days.
If you’re cautious, wait for updates and real-world reviews from other users.
If your watch is mostly for steps, texts, and swiping, Gemini may not add much value — for now.
