Scott Brown \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>TL;DR<\/p>\n<p>Google has finally released its Find Hub app for Wear OS.<br \/>\nAvailable for Pixel Watch models on the Play Store, Find Hub lets you track down your missing hardware.<br \/>\nThe app appears to also work fine when sideloaded onto other Wear OS models.<\/p>\n<p>Losing your stuff sucks, but that separation doesn\u2019t have to be permanent. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-device-manager-find-my-device-789869\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find Hub<\/a> has been making it easier to track down missing gear, whether those are devices like wearables that natively connect to Google\u2019s tracking network, or anything you\u2019re following with the help of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-airtag-competitor-saved-my-bag-3610441\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">external tracker tag<\/a>. But now Google\u2019s finally flipping the script, and making it possible for you to use your wearable to track down other lost gadgets.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_rm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been anticipating the arrival of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/pixel-watch-3-ad-teases-find-my-device-3522226\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find Hub app for Wear OS<\/a> basically all year now. While we\u2019ll still probably prioritize searching for missing devices using Find Hub on our phones or computers (taking advantage of those larger screens \u2014 and soon, maybe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/find-hub-maps-3625771\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">improved map options<\/a>), having access to the tracking system right from our wrists sounds perfect for when it\u2019s maybe your phone itself that you\u2019ve misplaced.<\/p>\n<p>Google doesn\u2019t seem to have formally announced this new availability just yet, but we can confirm that <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.adm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Find Hub in the Play Store<\/a> has begun displaying Wear OS compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t download the Find Hub for just any watch quite yet, and so far we\u2019re only seeing it offered for Pixel models \u2014 although we\u2019ve also confirmed that it can be sideloaded onto devices like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/oneplus-watch-2r-review-3460527\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OnePlus Watch 2R<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, though, you\u2019ll find the same full-featured experience you\u2019re familiar with from Find Hub, allowing you track your devices, trigger them to play an alert noise to help you find them as you\u2019re getting close, or lock them down remotely to protect your data.<\/p>\n<p>Give it a try on your own Pixel Watch today, and let us know what you think of this new Find Hub experience down in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
