Galaxy Watch 4 seems to have a tantrum with Google Assistant: first reports

With the surprise release of Google Assistant on Galaxy Watch 4, the latest smartwatch from the South Korean house has finally filled an important gap that has concerned it since its launch. On the other hand Wear OS 3 is not yet very widespread and probably only from this year we will see the truth rollout of the platform, which is why Google wanted to accelerate the development of the new wrist version of its digital assistant, also to be able to get to the launch of the Pixel Watch with a complete and run-in product.

FIRST PROBLEMS FOR ASSISTANT ON WEAR OS 3

It seems in fact that the new version of Assistant suffers from some youth problems that some owners of the Galaxy Watch 4 are experiencing these days, as emerges from the various complaints that have appeared on Reddit and other portals. For our part, we would like to point out that none of the Watch 4 scattered among the editorial staff has shown any of the reported problems, so we tend to hypothesize that these are all in all isolated cases.

In the latter case it was even necessary to resort to Complete reset of the clock losing the physical activity data that has not been synchronized in the meantime.

In short, Google Assistant on Watch 4 has not landed in the best possible conditions, but remember that we are still talking about isolated cases. It is however evident that Google and Samsung will have to work further to fix these issues even considering that the assistant’s performances are not all that better than the previous version, despite the notable improvements of the UI on Wear OS 3.
