Google is updating the watches under Wear OS

[ad_1]

In August, Google unveiled a redesign of Wear OS (formerly Android Wear), its operating system for smart health connected watches. The update was mainly aesthetic and ergonomic.

As Dennis Troper, Director of Product Management at Wear OS by Google, explains, the new design should allow Wear OS users to quickly access information and notifications. Interactions with Google Assistant are also improved, as well as fitness features.

Today, Google is deploying this update. At least, that's what an article from our colleague said The Verge, released Friday. With this new design, we make a shift to the right to use Google Assistant that uses AI to provide context-based information, we slide to the left to open Google Fit (which monitors physical activity), we make a slip up for the notifications, and down to have the shortcuts.

The comeback of Wear OS?

For a while, the Wear OS-smart health connected watch market was stagnating a bit, with few updates for the operating system and few new models.

But this year, it seems that Google has decided to give a boost to its operating system. Prior to this update, the Mountain View company also decided to replace the name "Android Wear" with "Wear OS".

And Qualcomm recently unveiled a new SoC for smart health connected watches, which should allow brands to develop more powerful products.

However, contrary to what was suggested by some sources at one time, Google should not present a watch "Pixel Watch" during its event of October 9 (during which he will present the smartphones Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL and other hardware products).
