Google's latest update for smartwatches, Wear OS 7, includes several new features such as Live Updates support, an all-new way for users to interact with widgets, and more. While some of these features are already available for Apple Watch users with older software updates, there are a few functions that Google's Wear OS 7 is expected to do better, like built-in support for AI, thanks to Gemini, a few new tools to help developers create new fitness apps, and proper media control. Google's Wear OS 7 is getting Gemini Intelligence, which is an artificial intelligence tool that provides proactive and personalized help to users. With the new Wear Workout Tracker experience, developers won't have to worry about heart rate monitoring, media control, and other features when creating their apps.

Google recently announced Wear OS 7, its Android software for smartwatches, during the Google I/O Conference. The update is expected to be available later this year and includes several new features such as Live Updates support, an all-new way for users to interact with widgets, and more.
While some of these features are already available for Apple Watch users with older software updates, there are a few functions that Google's Wear OS 7 is expected to do better, like built-in support for AI, thanks to Gemini, a few new tools to help developers create new fitness apps, and proper media control. Especially when talking about built-in AI, this is not something we expect Apple to add to the Apple Watch, even though the company is working with AI.
Google's Wear OS 7 is getting Gemini Intelligence, which is an artificial intelligence tool that provides proactive and personalized help to users. While this feature will be available with select watches being released later this year, Google says this intelligence system will make boring tasks more straightforward. Another useful function is turning spoken thoughts into polished text, which could help users brainstorm even without their phone around.
Google is also allowing third-party apps to take advantage of AI through the AppFunctions API, so they can get tasks done using voice. With the new Wear Workout Tracker experience, developers won't have to worry about heart rate monitoring, media control, and other features when creating their apps. Google says it's working with ASICS Runkeeper to bring some of these features to life.
With Google offering more tools, this could prompt Apple developers to port their fitness apps to Wear OS or even improve the current experience
