Google's newest Gemini teaser showcases the integration of the Pixel Watch
Google has announced the upcoming Gemini update for its Pixel Watch, set to release on October 9, 2025. The update, which is now available on Wear OS 4+ devices starting July 2025, will come preinstalled on the Pixel Watch 4[1][2].
The Gemini update promises to bring a more AI-enhanced, health-focused, and user-friendly wearable experience. Key features include:
- AI integration with Gemini Nano, powered by Google's latest Tensor G5 chip, enabling faster, smarter, and more power-efficient AI capabilities directly on the watch[5].
- Enhanced health and fitness tracking, with new sensors supporting continuous SpO2 monitoring and low oxygen detection[2].
- Personalized workout creation and real-time exercise guidance, plus detailed post-workout metrics rivaling top workout apps on Wear OS[2].
- Improved safety features and longer battery life for better usability throughout the day[1].
- Support for third-party watch faces which had been missing in prior versions[2].
- Wear OS 6 Material You UI and AI-powered smart replies to texts via Gemini, offering a richer interactive experience[4].
- Hands-free interaction with Google apps like Calendar, Keep, Tasks, and Maps through Gemini Live voice commands, expanding productivity on the watch[5].
The Pixel Watch 4 retains the sleek design of its predecessor but introduces better repairability—a customer-requested improvement—as well as faster charging[1].
Google's Gemini is designed to be a more capable and conversational assistant, able to converse back and forth with users for assistance and to enable it to complete tasks without much manual input[6]. The AI is expected to remain similar to Assistant in the way that users summon it, using the "Hey Google" command[7].
The information about the Gemini update for the Pixel Watch was obtained from a teaser in an email sent by Google[8]. It is unclear whether the update will coincide with Wear OS 6's launch or if it will stand alone[9].
