Gemini for Wear OS is getting a major weather card makeover

Google recently updated the weather card UI in Gemini on Android smartphones. The new UI introduced new interactions, such as easy switching between temperature, precipitation, and wind forecasts, as well as the ability to change units easily. Now, Google is rolling out the new weather card UI to Wear OS smartwatches too.

As part of a potential server-side rollout with Gemini on the Wear OS app v1.28.1695, we’re now seeing the new weather card UI on our smartwatches.

The screenshots above show the current UI that appears when users ask Gemini about the weather via commands like “How’s the weather?”. The screenshots below show the new UI, which looks more expressive.

We see new icons, as well as an option at the bottom to quickly switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, which wasn’t there before.

The hourly temperature has a grid UI, so more information is visible at a glance, and less scrolling is needed to reach the bottom of the queue. The hourly temperature section is also collapsible and includes the precipitation percentage.

Here’s a quick demo of Gemini’s new weather UI on Wear OS smartwatches:

As mentioned, this is likely a server-side rollout, so it should gradually roll out to more users alongside the Wear OS app update.
