A bug has stranded owners of the original Pixel Watch and Galaxy Watch without a functional, native weather app.
Google is bolstering the Pixel Watch's always-on display support to add timers, stopwatches, and media controls with Google Clock version 6.11.
Samsung's eagerly awaited One UI 8 Watch update, featuring Wear OS 6 enhancements, is set to launch for the Galaxy Watch 5 series.
Samsung's One UI 8 Watch rollout is continuing, with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro next up to receive the Wear OS 6 boost.
This week, we get the first look at the OnePlus 15R and a mystery OnePlus smartwatch, Wear OS 6 finally lands on Galaxy Watch 6, Android Auto gets Gemini-ed, Google solves the file sharing issue with Apple, and Galaxy Buds Pro 4 leaks.
The Pixel Watch 4 has the best version of Wear OS yet, but Google should take inspiration from Samsung for both Tiles and long-term software support.
Older Wear OS watches keep the existing Weather app, while Pixel Watches move on to the better-designed Pixel Weather.
Wear OS 6 added custom watch faces, and apps like Facer, WatchMaker, and Pujie have hundreds of thousands available.
Wear OS users were asked for their PIN or pattern to complete Google Wallet transactions, even with the smartwatch worn and unlocked, but it was a bug.
Once Wear OS 6 rolls out, your Galaxy or Pixel Watch will get access to 3rd-party WFF faces again. We interviewed Facer's CPO for more info.
