Google’s Gemini AI assistant is heading to Wear OS, debuting on the Galaxy Watch 8. This move transforms Samsung’s smartwatch into more than a fitness tracker; it becomes a full-fledged personal assistant that learns, adapts, and responds naturally. With Gemini on board, your wrist becomes a command center powered by real-time intelligence.
Gemini upgrades voice control on Wear OS

Unlike earlier voice assistants, Gemini aims to handle real conversations, not just barked commands. It understands context, tracks previous interactions, and gives thoughtful responses. Whether you’re running errands, exercising, or trying to check your schedule while stuck in traffic, Gemini keeps the experience smooth and responsive without breaking your stride.
Smarter integration across Galaxy devices
Gemini isn’t just launching on the Galaxy Watch 8. It’s arriving on other Galaxy wearables too, including the new Galaxy Buds 3. This means your entire wearable ecosystem can interact more intelligently, letting your watch, earbuds, and phone share information effortlessly. Ask a question on your watch, get a follow-up via your buds, and stay connected without reaching for your phone.
One UI 8 Watch enhances the experience
The updated One UI 8 Watch interface is designed with Gemini at its core. It introduces new animations, sleeker widgets, and better health-tracking views. Gesture controls allow you to activate Gemini with a squeeze, swipe, or tap, offering an assistant that doesn’t get in the way; it just works.
What Gemini brings to the table
- Smarter reminders, suggestions, and scheduling
- Quick summaries of messages, tasks, or health stats
- Voice-first interface that feels natural, not robotic
- Context-aware responses tailored to what you’re doing
A bold step for Wear OS
Gemini represents more than a software update. It redefines how we interact with smartwatches. Instead of reactive responses, you get proactive assistance tailored to your habits, time, and location. As it rolls out to more Galaxy models and possibly other Wear OS partners, Gemini is poised to set the bar for intelligent wearable experiences.
Gemini isn’t just another assistant; it’s the upgrade your wrist has been waiting for. Now it’s not about checking your watch, it’s about what your watch can do for you.
