Google Assistant integration seems more useful in watches and in Android Auto than in smartphones where it's difficult to use touch input

honestly im using both google and bixby (bixby with google voice engine) cus most basic things like alarms, calendars and replying to texts works fine and syncs directly with the samsung calender app which i prefer over google's one. I use the google assistant however for questions that require web searching.

It's ohk. Still frustrating that reminders don't show on watch. Have the 46mm Classic LTE. Will prolly continue using my Garmin Venu 2 Plus. Not knocking GW. Good Watch but not great. Not to mention I already notice a drop off in battery life which wasn't all that spectacular to begin with. (Since Assistant Addition)

Nice video! 😀 A few comments though: It shows as an update because there is what appears to be a stub APK shipped in a firmware update at some point. The reason is likely that they want it classified as a system app in order to be able to grant certain premissions. Also, the ability to change the default assistant and to reconfigure the buttons to launch it are not new at all. In fact, they have been available since at least late last year, probably from launch. People who sideloaded Google Assistant Go on the watch could use it already as far as I know. Furthermore, it actually works in a lot more countries and languages than they stated in the announcement.

I've had zero problems with my Watch 4 until now. Since installing GA, my Watch 4 has just frozen and/or, cannot scroll through screens and just stuttered. I uninstalled and all was fine. Decided a second shot was warranted. Ran okay for one day, then the exact same thing happened. I've installed both the downloaded version and the factory app. Bixby may not be great, but at least it's never caused this issue...

@blunden2 Жыл бұрын

That's not normal. I haven't had that happen even once. Maybe try disabling the "OK Google" hotword detection in case that's what's causing it.

@nationharris 2 жыл бұрын

I have used it. It's Google assistant. Two gripes; when I set a reminder, the notification for the reminder pings my phone and not my watch, with Bixby if I set a reminder on my watch the reminder would go off on my watch, not my phone. I don't like that, I use the watch so I don't have to paw my phone as much at work. The second is that so far for me Google assistant doesn't speak, it just shows text. Bixby speaks. I remember when I owned a Ticwatch on wear os 2 Google assistant would speak in some instances and not in others. 🤷‍♂️ Edit Solved the speaking thing

@tushargupta1968 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, Exactly what I was thinking. The only reason I can think of is that google allows you more customization regarding the button selection and doesn't force you to use apps. (Samsung really wants customers to use samsung pay, health, etc. and has created locks in ecosystem. Nothing wrong with that, just that google might take advantage of that while releasing their own smartphone.) Let us see what happens. It is good to have competition in the smartwatch market. I really want to pick this watch up, but I am a student and my parents won't allow it.😞

It actually supports lots more countries and languages in practice (basically all languages GA on the phone supports?) than those listed as officially supported. If it doesn't let you activate Assistant on the watch, change your Google Assistant language on your phone to English (US), active it and then change the language back to your preferred one.
