Google Gemini AI has launched on Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series, with plans for expansion to older Galaxy Watch models. Compatibility requires the latest One UI 8 Watch interface combined with Wear OS 4 or newer. While Gemini AI can be downloaded on older Galaxy Watches, it currently does not replace the older Google Assistant on models not updated to One UI 8. Samsung has initiated the One UI 8 Watch beta for Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro, with updates for Galaxy Watch6 and Watch7 expected in the future.
The new Watch8 series models marked the initial roll-out of Gemini AI on WearOS, and Google promised to expand to more smartwatches running Wear OS 4 or newer.
The only catch for Samsung watches is that you'll need a Galaxy Watch that's running the very latest One UI 8 Watch interface on top of Wear OS.
As reported by SamMobile, the Gemini AI app is available to download on older Galaxy Watches, but it does not seem to replace the older Google Assistant on devices running versions prior to One UI 8.
Samsung already kicked off its One UI 8 Watch beta for Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro units so we should see the Galaxy Watch6 series and Galaxy Watch7 also updated in due time.
