Google Rolls Out Wear OS 7 to 6 Watches, Adding Gemini AI and 10% Battery Gain

Summary
Wear OS 7 is now live on six models—Pixel Watch 2, 3, 4 and 5, plus Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 and Ultra 2—with Google starting the consumer rollout in June.
Gemini is the centerpiece: Google is pushing watches beyond notifications into proactive assistants that can handle multistep voice tasks, while a winter update will add voice-built widgets.
New interface changes include grid-based Wear Widgets replacing linear Tiles, Live Updates for deliveries and scores, and standardized workout tracking across third-party fitness apps.
Google also says Wear OS 7 delivers up to 10% better battery life than Wear OS 6, alongside finer media-control settings and wrist-based audio output switching.
Broader availability may take longer: Xiaomi and Oppo are still finishing Wear OS 6 rollouts, and OnePlus support is uncertain after its July exit from the US and Europe.
