Material 3 expressive is the return to the formation of the Pixel Watch 4 needs

Wear OS weekly

My weekly column focuses on the State of Wear OS, from new developments and updates to the latest apps and functions that we want to highlight.

Google changes what the wearing operation on Pixel watches looks like. On the surface, the material 3 makes the user interface simply more striking and colorful. But I also believe that it is a short course correction to make the Pixel Watch 4 more appealing for the Kern Pixel users.

The Android Show I/O Edition unveiled what you can expect later from Wear OS 6 this year. Scrollter content “follows the curvature of the rounded pixel watches display for smooth transitions, shrinks or extends around the available space.

You will be better “reaction -quick feedback” when typing on options, and your Watch Face topic affects the colors in the entire user interface.

Apart from Google, Google promised “more appealing” tiles with “quick access to information or actions” and “space -efficient” notification buttons that contain further information. And of course Gemini assistant will replace as a helper for Pixel watches.

We will see how much a real Smarts upgrade Gemini can offer on smartwatch hardware. However, this update will align pixel watches closer to Android 16. And as much as I loved the clock 3 in order to concentrate on Fitbit so strongly, this route would not work with Google's nuclear audience in the long term.

Back wear OS needed an overhaul

I asked my Android Central colleagues a few weeks ago whether they were preferred on Galaxy watches. A fiery debate started, and while some of us fell on the Pixel watch page, our arguments were more about Vibes than anything else. The only amount of UI had details.

Our managing editor Derrek Lee prefers a UI watch “, since it better imitates the user interface on a smartphone”, so that you can be deleted up or down to access apps or quick settings from each screen or adjust these fast settings. Back Wear OS “feels strangely limited” while a UI watch “feels more like Android”.

Our participating Brady Snyder called the Pixel Watch Ui “unusable, more like a children's toy or a Fitbit”, and said that it is not committed to Smartwatch or Fitness Watch Camp. He believes that a user interface “reduces a smartwatch form factor much better”, and it shows fitness and health metrics in a “more committed” way than stock market businesses.

Although Derrek explains his side “correctly”, the debate is still completely subjective. But it is also true that there is a lot of style and continuity between a UI 7 and a UI 6 o'clock, and the rumor is that the next version takes familiar tools like the now to the Galaxy Watch 8.

The operating surveillance company does not really feel like expanding your pixel telephone software in the same way. Apart from cool watch areas, there is not much space for adaptation, since the interface is very minimalist, uncomplicated and tailored. This will appeal to some people, but maybe not the nuclear audience of Android.

Google has clinical leads that concentrate on the accuracy of heart health and the accuracy of sleeping to improve its pixel clock accompanying, and the last wear -out -os -os update, which is attached in a series of running tools that would appeal to Old Fitbit Watch fans.

Most portable brands try to offer accuracy and fitness subscriptions for medical quality. So it is no surprise that Google would take this route. But it is also true that his old audience partly loved Fitbits because they lasted a week per load and had a simple interface. And many of these fans had iPhones.

No matter how much intelligent Google Fitbit makes, these old fans will probably not turn to a pixel clock that is not particularly robust, durable or affordable.

(Randnote: I am still upset that Google was killed by Fitbit watches.)

The Pixel Watch 3 worried me as a runner; It had really useful AI coaching and decent accuracy. But admittedly, I still prefer that Garmin is watching for all the reasons they would expect. Only athletes who need a comprehensive experience would choose the two-day Google smartwatch via a 7- or 14-day fitness clock.

Everyday Android users train as much as any other, but they were fit with something uncomplicated as Google. What people interested in people was theirs Smart.

To Google's credit, Wear OS 5 has tried to add things like Nest Doorbell film material, Google TV controls to the Recorder -App and Offline -google Maps. But not updated the notifications, tiles or adaptation tools.

The Pixel Watch 4 could improve the fitness front with bicycle software, hiking maps in Google Maps or repeating repeating in the gym. But that will only be an important side dish, while the changes mentioned above will be the main course to make this clock more relevant for Android fans.

Google Piggyback for Gemini to sell a record number of Pixel 9s last year. So it is no surprise that it would try to bring your new AI to smartwatches as soon as possible. In theory, Gemini actions change the experience of the wear operating system by doing the AI the entire work to find out what they need.

And material 3 expressive, at the same time started on phones And Watches, the wear OS 6 feels more like an extension of Android 16 instead of his own thing. I think this is a clever step by Google.
