Gemini AI Assistant to Replace Google Assistant on Wear OS

Update Type: Straightforward app update for existing Wear OS devices.
Activation Methods: Users can activate Gemini by holding down the side button or using the "Hey Google" hotword when the watch screen is on.
Capabilities: Gemini will be able to perform basic tasks like setting alarms, timers, and sending messages, similar to Google Assistant. Advanced features like integration with Gmail and Google Maps are not explicitly mentioned.
User Interface: The familiar warning about potential mistakes by Gemini will be displayed. Location settings, Voice Match, and the Wear OS Tile for quick actions will remain unchanged.
Launch Timing: The exact release date is uncertain, but it could coincide with a flagship watch launch.

This update marks a significant shift in Google's approach to wearables, integrating the advanced capabilities of Gemini into the smartwatch experience without major changes to existing user interfaces.
