Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) now shows Gemini’s new multicolor Glow Overlay, replacing the older assistant animation on Samsung’s Wear OS watches.
Material 3 Expressive Design is driving the visual refresh, which adds a glowing background and faint dot pattern but leaves Gemini’s functions otherwise unchanged.
Compatible Pixel Watches began receiving the same redesign this week, and Samsung devices on One UI 8 Watch could get it more broadly.
Google previewed the new look at I/O 2026, extending a Wear OS interface update that started rolling out earlier to unify Gemini’s appearance across devices.
