Gemini on Wear OS should stick to the Assistant status quo, mostly

Google confirmed Gemini is coming to Wear OS last month; this latest code suggests it's more of an Assistant rebrand than an overhaul.

Compare that to a Pixel Watch 3 with 2GB of RAM and years-old Arm Cortex cores, and it's clear why Gemini on Wear OS wouldn't magically outperform Assistant's capabilities with a name change. We can hope at least that we'll see better Gemini tricks on future Pixel Watch hardware, since we're fairly certain Qualcomm will make a new Wear OS chip this year with "more on-device AI capability." Channeling his love of running, he established himself as an expert on fitness watches, testing and reviewing models from Garmin, Fitbit, Samsung, Apple, COROS, Polar, Amazfit, Suunto, and more.
