Google is likely to announce its Pixel Watch at its upcoming Pixel 7 event series on October 6 and we already have some clues as to the apps that will run on Wear OS, Google’s Android operating system for smartwatches and other wearable devices. Google albums, Google Home and personal security apps are among the apps that will presumably launch alongside the Pixel Watch next week.
Official images of Wear OS versions of Google Photos, Google Home and personal security apps grabbed from Play Store listings suggest that these apps may be coming to Wear OS. The system, also known simply as Wear, was formerly known as Android Wear.

At first glance, the Pixel Watch’s Google Photos watch interface appears to be very similar to Android 12’s lock screen. The photos have been rounded and cropped to match the design of the watch. In addition, there is some space at the top of the watch face to accommodate the date/day and time display configurations.
In addition, Google allows users to cycle through selected images throughout the day. the Google Home app for Wear OS showcases a card list design where smart home devices are listed within rectangular tabs. These tabs include an icon, background color, device name and room name. In one of the screenshots provided, you can also see a reminder about the “people you see”.
Finally, a screenshot of “Call” also shows an option to switch to a personal safety app to help call a predefined emergency contact or service.
