Foreign media claim that this is a “big improvement in functionality” for people using Wear OS. In the past, Wear OS watches could only receive push notifications from Gmail, and users had three options: “archive”, reply or delete. Now, users can get a more comprehensive Gmail mailbox experience on the watch.

In addition to new features like Reading Mode and Digital Car Key for Android phones and tablets, Google is also bringing new features to smartwatches running Wear OS. Google has introduced 3 new Tiles (called “cards” in China) and improved native apps, and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 will get these new features early.

Google said it introduced 3 new Tiles for Wear OS smartwatches: Favorite Contacts, Sunrise Time and Sunset Time. Favorite Contacts serves all users, while the latter two show sunrise and sunset are not very useful for regular users, but may provide some help for photographers, athletes and people who like outdoor activities.

Tiles is a feature introduced by Google in WearOS 2.0. Most users don’t raise their wrist for more than 5 seconds on average, so the information on the watch must be easy to find, simple to interact with, and actionable, which is why Tiles was created.

Tiles is a widget-like UI that allows users to get the information they need and perform actions in a more convenient way. Adding, deleting, and reordering can be controlled through the mobile app.

Google Keep, the notes app, has also been updated to bring the ability to view tags, collaborators, photos, custom backgrounds, and even drawings. In addition, Google Assistant is integrated with the Adidas Running app, so Galaxy Watch users can request the Adidas Running app through Google Assistant to start a running workout.

Before the launch of the Pixel Watch, some official Google apps for WearOS have received a major version update. Citing a report from 9to5Google, Google is internally developing WearOS versions of its Gmail and Google Calendar apps.

There are no native email or calendar handling tools on the Pixel Watch. One of the more popular apps for calendars is called Agenda, which shows your next calendar item and allows users to tap to see the details. However, the Agenda app only shows calendar items for the next 3 days, so the actual experience isn’t great.

According to reports, Google is planning to launch WearOS versions of Gmail and Google Calendar, allowing users to handle mail and calendar items on the watch side without leaving the phone.
