It was only in September that Google rolled out a system update for Wear OS, adding a cleaner interface, Google Assistant support, and a revamped Google Fitapp. That update, which was mostly cosmetic, made Google-powered smartwatches a joy to use, but the search giant isn’t stopping there.
Google has now announced that it will be rolling out another update – simply called ‘H’ – in the coming months to Wear OS which will change four primary aspects of the operating system.
‘Conservation’ is the new buzzword
The main change is an improvement to the battery life of the wearable. Google has reworked the Battery Saver Mode to display only the current time when the battery level falls below 10%. That means switching on the new Battery Saver Mode will dumb down your smartwatch to become a … watch.
