"I've been sporting Pixel Watches since the first iteration. Those early releases were functional but ugly, had weak battery life (a 10% improvement over the previous version), presented very poor animations, and just didn't match up with the Android UI. Every time I saw someone using their Apple Watch, I felt a bit jealous. Those watches were beautiful, smooth, and had much better battery life."
"I know that sounds like crazy talk, but it's true. The new UI is beautiful, the animations are buttery smooth, and the battery life is much improved. In fact, after the latest update, I put my watch on, unlocked it, and was shocked at what I saw. Could this be? Did someone swap out my Pixel Watch with an Apple Watch? Nope. Google finally did WearOS justice and now it's as beautiful as the latest Android UI."
WearOS receives a major update that applies Material 3 Expressive visual language, providing personalized dynamic color themes, smoother animations, and a consistent Android-like UI. The update improves battery life and overall performance, producing buttery-smooth animations and longer runtime on supported watches. Compatible devices include Pixel Watch 3 and 4, Samsung Galaxy 8 series, and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. Updated tiles adopt Material 3 Expressive styling and multi-slotted layouts to show more information. Visual polish across the system enhances aesthetics and responsiveness, bringing Pixel Watch user experience closer to Apple's watch lineup.
