- Following Galaxy Watch 8 and Pixel Watch, Gemini is rolling out to more Wear OS smartwatches.
- As Google announced last week, Gemini is coming to all watches running Wear OS 4 or higher from brands including OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi.
- Once Gemini is installed, Google Assistant will no longer be accessible on your smartwatch.
Gemini is set to fully replace Google Assistant this year, and the transition is not limited to just Android phones or tablets. Google has already confirmed that Gemini will be the default assistant on other categories of devices, including its Nest smart speakers, in-car entertainment systems with Android Auto, and even smartwatches running Google’s Wear OS. The last of these has already come to fruition and is now extending to older watches.
After first announcing Gemini for Wear OS in May at the Google I/O 2025 developers’ conference, Google debuted Gemini on Wear OS with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series last week. It followed up with an announcement confirming it would roll out to other Wear OS smartwatches from other brands, including OnePlus, OPPO, and Xiaomi, over the coming weeks. Fulfilling its commitment, Google is now bringing Gemini to smartwatches other than the Galaxy Watch or Pixel Watch lineup, as first spotted by 9to5Google.
