The Galaxy Watch 8 series<\/a> got Google Gemini<\/a> before Google could add it to its own Pixel Watches.<\/p>\n

At Wednesday’s Galaxy Unpacked<\/a> event, Samsung introduced the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra<\/a>, all of which have Google Gemini integrated into its One UI 8 Watch operating system. During the livestream, Samsung touted Gemini as a useful hands-free way to operate its health and fitness features. <\/p>\n

Asking Gemini to “start a 300-calorie circuit training workout” activates Samsung Health behind the scenes, so you can track your workout without navigating to the app. Other examples include using Gemini as a voice assistant to send messages or schedule calendar events. Whether as a health and fitness coach or personal assistant, Gemini on the Watch 8 series introduces an exciting new use case for AI wearables. <\/p>\n
