What is WearOS?
WearOS is a version of Google’s Android operating system designed for smartwatches and other wearables. It effortlessly connects us with our health infos, our apps on wrist (ie, Whatsapp, Instagram, X all on our watch!), and the world around us. With WearOS, we can optimize your workouts, understand your health, maintain wellness, and use all our favorite apps to help meet all our needs

.Key Features of WearOS
  • Google Assistant
        The WearOS by Google app syncs our smartwatch and phone so we can get more out of our watch. One can stay on top of his day with proactive, personalized help and useful shortcuts from your Google   
        Assistant. Get commute times, see upcoming reservations, check your flight status, and more!
  • Health and Fitness Tracking
       WearOS helps you get healthier and more active by tracking your progress towards your Heart Points and Steps goal, Also it supports ECG & SpO2 meter.
  • Music and Media Controls
       With WearOS, we can control your favorite music right from your wrist and even play music on the watch itself, You can also browse and watch youtube on watch itself without needing a phone!
  • Notifications at a Glance
       You can check important notifications, texts, emails, and calls at a glance, as WearOS has prebuilt Android apps like Gmail, Messages and Calls, and all phone's notification history synced to your watch!
  • Customizable Watch Faces
       WearOS lets you be you with hundreds of styles—from fashion to fitness to fun and thousands of watch faces you can customize. A variety of faces and styles, along with customizable tiles and apps, make
      your watch a reflection of you. 
  • All your apps on your wrist!
      With PlayStore being pre-installed on WearOS watches, you can have access to all apps available on a Android Phone, even BGMI, but you won't be able to play it :P
