Gemini, which began replacing Google Assistant on Galaxy Watches running Wear OS last year, is receiving a new look featuring a multicolor glowing animation alongside a faint dot pattern toward the bottom of the screen. This design, called the Glow Overlay, is part of Google's updated Material 3 Expressive Design framework. The new design started arriving on compatible Pixel Watches this week and is now available for Galaxy Watches as well. Currently, the design is visible on the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024) and could become available on all Galaxy Watches running the One UI 8 Watch software. Google first showcased the look during the Google I/O 2026 developer conference earlier this year, and it has now started arriving on compatible Wear OS devices. Aside from the new glowing background, not much else has changed in the Gemini app on Wear OS.
