Your smartwatch is truly an indispensable all-day wearable. More than half of Wear OS users wear their watch seven days a week — and the most active wear it over 23 hours each day. ¹

Wear OS 7, which is rolling out to eligible Pixel Watch devices today, provides a reliable platform for that all-day, every-day use. And select devices will get Gemini Intelligence features later this year. Here are four things you can look forward to with these upgrades.

Wear OS 7 puts Android Live Updates directly on your wrist, so you can track ongoing events — the score of a big game, your food order’s arrival time or your workout progress — in real time. It gives you glanceable information exactly when you need it.

Here’s how Live Updates from the Just Eat app show up on your watch.

From the ground-up, Wear OS 7 is built to work better with your connected devices, including your earbuds or intelligent eyewear, which launches this fall.

If you take a photo with your audio glasses, for example, you can review your capture instantly with a quick glance on your watch.

Wear OS 7 also makes it easy to manage your media across devices from your wrist. You can control what’s playing on your headphones, home speakers and more, and switch audio from one device to another using the media output switcher.

Later this year, select Wear OS 7 devices will get Gemini Intelligence features.

With Gemini Intelligence, your watch becomes more uniquely yours through Create My Widget, which lets you build custom dashboards using natural language. And with multi-step app automation, Gemini navigates tasks directly from your watch, whether it’s reserving a front-row bike for your spin class or ordering your usual from your favorite restaurant. Gemini’s new Neural Expressive design language also arrives on the wrist, alongside Personal Intelligence, which references your Google apps — including Gmail and Search — and your chat history to connect dots and provide suggestions that are uniquely helpful to you.

Thanks to deep, system-level power optimizations, Wear OS 7 lets you enjoy all of these new features. Average users who upgrade their watches from Wear OS 6 to Wear OS 7 can expect up to 10% improvement in battery life.

Experience the new era of intelligent wearables starting today, with much more to come later this year.
