How to Use Google Assistant on WearOS

Here’s how to set up and use Google Assistant on your WearOS watch.

How to Set Up "Hey Google"

  1. Enable Google Assistant during the initial watch setup process, or go to Settings > Google > Assistant.
  2. Train the "Hey Google" voice recognition by following the on-screen prompts.
  3. Make sure your phone and watch are set to the same language.

How to Use Voice Commands

You can use voice commands for a variety of tasks, including:

  • Communication: "Send a message to [contact]," "Call [contact name]"
  • Information & Queries: "What's the weather like?," "How many steps have I taken today?"
  • Device Control: "Set a timer for 10 minutes," "Turn on the living room lights"
  • Navigation & Location: "Navigate to [destination]," "Where's the nearest coffee shop?"

How to Troubleshoot Assistant Issues

  • Voice Recognition Problems: Retrain the voice model in your phone's settings, make sure you're in a quiet environment, and check that your microphone isn't blocked.
  • Response Delays: Check your internet connection, restart Google services, and clear the Assistant app cache.
