Wear OS 3.5 is here - but what does it feature?
Note that to use a Wear OS 3 watch you also need a compatible operating system on your phone. In theory it works with both iOS and Android, but at the time of writing only the Montblanc Summit 3 includes iOS support – the Galaxy Watch 4 line doesn’t, and neither the Pixel Watch nor the Galaxy Watch 5 line are expected to.There’s plenty to see in Wear OS 3.5, but it’s worth noting that not every feature will be available on every watch.
, and any other Wear OS 3.5 wearable that hasn’t been extensively customized, like Samsung's current Galaxy Watch series, where you can expect to find more variation., and the result is a combination of Wear OS 2 and Samsung’s Tizen-based wearable operating system; with some new features dropped in for good measure.
You’ll also have quick access to smart home controls in Google Home and be able to quickly switch between in-use apps with a new task switcher.Just as Android smartphone manufacturers can add a custom interface on top of stock Android, smartwatch makers can now pull a similar trick with Wear OS, so the platform won’t necessarily look or behave identically on every smartwatch.
One UI Watch, found on the Galaxy Watch 4 line, is an early example of this; it offers a number of Samsung apps and services in addition to Google’s, and draws more parallels with the design of Samsung’s smartphone interface.Google took this opportunity to redesign and improve Google Assistant and Google Maps, as well as adding support for more countries in Google Pay and bringing YouTube Music to your wrist.
