Ratings and reviews

On top of being genuinely very janky and having low-quality responses compared to other versions of the app, bilingual support has been broken for months. I used to be able to speak to this smartwatch version in both English and French, but now it only ever recognizes the language that I have set as my primary. And the language that I have set as my secondary is never recognized. It is only recognized by the phone version of the app.

Gemini itself is nice and fast on watch, but only when it WORKS. Most of the time I say "Hey Google" or hold the side button, it looks like it's listening, but it either never heard what I'm saying and acts unresponsive, or it throws a false error like that Gemini isn't available or Your watch is offline. ITS NOT. It's a very frustrating issue and if Google ever sees this I would really wish they fixed this problem. And yes, I restarted my phone and watch, cleared the apps data, force stopped it, all the basic fixes, they didn't solve the problem.

Unfortunately this is mostly unusable trash. As other reviews have mentioned at least 9 times out of 10 Gemini will open and pretend it's listening, but it's not. It just sits there doing nothing. Would have been nice to have this at least stable before being forced off of Google Assistant. Removes a lot of the usefulness of a Pixel Watch.
