The new update of the Wear operating system launched by Google is trying to make the new smartwatches – BGR

Today, Google is mainly collecting good reviews for the update of Wear OS, which is starting to be integrated with smartwatches. This update aims to simplify interactions, as indicated a few weeks ago. This gives you easier access to the information you need. Generally, the watch is almost new.

You can also claim that with this update (which now includes the ability to slide your finger from the main dial to display a useful Google Assistant stream), Google accepts some limitations. Fortunately, she is not trying to be as ambitious as Apple, which, as we all saw, has set a noble vision for its watches, which is not constrained by something as fundamental as to use the device to present time and other data. We say happily because it would be foolish for Google to try something similar since its device partners, according to the words of a reviewer. The edge, tend to create "technically deficient devices".

In other words, Google is forced to do its best with the material that remains. And in its attempt to produce a smarter and simpler interface, it usually succeeds.

Dennis Troper, director of product management at Google for Wear OS, explains in a blog post how the update is supposed to make it easier to navigate, delete, or support your notifications with the new stream of notifications. Simply swipe up to see all your notifications at once. See an important message? Just tap to select an integrated smart answer without even leaving your stream. Swipe down on your watch for quick access to convenient features and shortcuts such as Google Pay or 'Find my phone'.

Some reviewers have argued that the most significant change to the interface is the swipe gesture that reveals many of the key features of the watch as a result of the update. Speaking of this update, you can see if a solution is ready for you by going to "Settings" of your watch, by pressing "About" and then clicking on "System Updates".

In total, Dieter Bohn writes in The edge, the update is nice and "sets a better foundation for future upgrades". Wearing a bone watch without clenching your teeth … it's not enough to make me want to get a new one. So, you know, there is that.
