The update was observed beginning to roll out today (Sep 24), prompting users to monitor the Play Store.
Pixel Watch users are set for an enjoyable week, as sources indicate Google is deploying its new Android design to its specific app. It seems that the update has only just begun to arrive, as a report from 9to5Google points out the Material 3 Expressive transformations users on Android will experience. The app’s interior showcases more substantial design changes, including a vertical, pill-shaped array of essential Pixel Watch features. The update positions Fitbit, Personal Safety, Gemini, and Google Wallet directly above your device’s image.
Below that image, users will locate their connectivity details, battery level, and the last synchronization time with Fitbit’s services.
The sleek containers for UI components that Google has introduced across Android are also evident in the revamped Pixel Watch app. As part of the “main” feature array, users will discover Watch Faces and Tiles prior to scrolling down into their Settings. These new containers and discreet line dividers are consistently present throughout the app, particularly when navigating through your tiles and other sub-menus.
The Pixel Watch app icon has been refreshed in this update (there’s no need for concern). The publication observes that users will notice a more prominent Pixel Watch illustration featuring a blue and purple blend, as Google shifts away from its traditional four-color scheme.
M3 Expressive finally arrives in the main app
The article mentions that the update has commenced rolling out today (Sep 24) through the Play Store. It may take a little time for your device to receive it, but it should start showing up more as the week progresses.
It seems that the Pixel Watch app is last in line for these wearable Material 3 Expressive updates, as Wear OS 6 has already adorned the model with the new aesthetic. M3 Expressive provided a striking redesign to watches, introducing new visuals and significantly smoother animations across the board. A noteworthy point to highlight is that M3 Expressive complements the circular shapes of the Pixel Watch, giving the experience a more complete and immersive feel wherever you go.
Besides the new design, Wear OS 6 was a substantial enhancement over its predecessor. New watch faces and Gemini were among the standout features, in addition to upgraded media controls for your music.
