“Wear OS 7” Major Update (Google Pixel Watch 5)

With the “Wear OS 7” major update, the following new features will be rolled out to the “Google Pixel Watch 5.”

■ “Gemini” Personalization Features
  • Learning from past conversations and connected “Google” apps (Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, Photos), “Gemini” on the watch provides more personalized answers. You can now ask questions like “What’s my schedule today?” or “Tell me the tracking number in my email,” and receive answers based on your personal data. This is achieved by combining offline user profiles with real-time online searches.
■ Proactive Suggestions
  • Proactive suggestions from “Gemini Intelligence” simplify complex multi-step tasks into a single tap within a message. When asked by family members about dinner time, “Gemini” automatically finds the information from your calendar and displays it on your wrist without requiring you to operate your smartphone.
※Available only when paired with a “Pixel 11” that has proactive suggestions enabled
■ Offline “Gemini”
  • On-device AI instantly processes key operations with low latency even in offline environments. Supports device operations such as setting timers, starting/stopping workouts, and enabling “Do Not Disturb” mode.
■ Improved “Raise to Talk”
  • Updates and improvements to the gesture model
■ More Accurate GPS Route Tracking
  • Significantly improved route maps displayed in the “Google Health” app after running, cycling, hiking, or walking sessions
■ Expanded Hand Gesture Compatible Apps
  • Double-pinch to open “At a Glance” from the watch face
  • Double-pinch to open the notification center from the watch face
  • Double-pinch to scroll “Gemini” responses
  • Double-pinch to scroll cards in the “Google Wallet” app
  • Double-pinch to scroll various workout metrics
  • Double-pinch to switch “Google Maps” displays
  • Double-pinch to operate the “Recorder” app

“Wear OS 7” Major Update New Features (Google Pixel Watch 5)

Software updates for the “Google Pixel Watch” series are distributed via “Over the Air (OTA).” You can check whether a software update is available by going to Wear OS Settings → [System] → [System updates].

  1. Tap [System] in Wear OS Settings
  2. Tap [System updates]

Also, as a little lifehack, repeatedly tapping the watch icon on the [System updates] screen tends to trigger the software update quite quickly. By the way, this trick still works on the “Google Pixel Watch 5.”
