About this app

Wear OS assistant app is your smart wearable companion app for Google Assistant that helps you stay focused, connected, and entertained with the Google Assistant. With a simplified interface, glanceable UI, and powerful voice actions, Wear OS assistant app is designed to make it easier to use apps that you love from your phone and on the watch, while you're on the go.

Directly from your watch, you can use voice commands to:

•Manage your time, “start a timer”, “set an alarm”, “set reminders”
•Keep in touch with family and friends, “start a call”, “send a message”
•Control your smart home, “turn on bedroom light”
•Get your questions answered, “where is the nearest coffee shop?”, “how's the weather today?”

In addition, you can also:
•Get proactive information such as weather, calendar event, time to leave and commute throughout your day by adding a new complication to your watchface (supported devices only)
•Access frequently used Assistant features directly on your watch by customizing Assistant tile

To get started, you'll need a phone running the latest Google Assistant app and an active data connection. More than 150+ Wear OS smartwatches on the market, including Fossil Garett HR, Suunto 7, support Wear OS assistant app.

Ratings and reviews

It's finally here! It's pretty responsive and quick. The only slow down I've experienced is when you ask questions that require it to "Google search" for. Much more useful to me than Bixby because it has better access to information. I can ask Google for store hours, ask for directions and it will start driving or walking navigation on the Google Maps watch app, ask how many home runs Aaron Judge has hit for the season, set a timer, set an alarm, turn on/off all my smart devices, show me pictures, translate words and phrases, turn on the watch's "flashlight" (which is the watch at full brightness), find out a movie's Rotten Tomatoes score, find out when a team's next game is (even lesser known ones like Gotham FC), and more. It's just SOOOO much better than Bixby. FINALLY! It has happened, to me. I am free, of Bixby, and I'm just, so excited!🎶

I want to give this app a better review. Installing on Samsung Galaxy 4 44mm Wifi Wear OS watch. Assistant can't find watch when trying to connect from Umidigi S5 Pro. Impossible to initialize app. Already tried factory watch reset, software updates, and cache cleaning. Also uninstalled Samsung software from scratch.

Another classic example of Google's "Carrot on a stick" marketing. This software isn't even close to Beta testing. So many resets, so many hours of time, a whole lot of money, and *the software simply doesn't work.*
