Now, Fossil Group is pleased to share that Google Assistant is now rolling out to Gen 6 devices powered with Wear OS by Google (Wear OS 3). Google Assistant will become available in an update this month and is only supported on watches paired with Android phones (excluding Go edition and phones without Google Play Store) in supported countries.
Once connected, users have the option to set up their preferred methods to access Google Assistant—via pressing and holding down the upper button, tapping a corresponding complication on the watch face, or saying “Hey Google” to get started. Talk to Google Assistant right from your wrist to ask questions, play music, respond to texts, control smart home devices and more.
With Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa available, Fossil Group users have more ways to customize their smartwatch experience in a way that enables them to best manage their home and life from a single device. Users can access both voice assistants via their preferred shortcuts once set up.
Google Assistant is now available for Fossil Gen 6 smartwatches with Wear OS 3. Google Assistant is only supported on watches paired with Android phones.
