The new version of Google's smartwatch operating system, Wear OS, isn't exactly revolutionary.
It's not a major change, design-wise, to last year's version, and it doesn't really have any futuristic new features. Instead, Google made small changes that seem to have a singular focus: to make your life easier.
The new Wear OS - which doesn't have a new name, or even a new number; it's simply the "next evolution" - began rolling out to smartwatches at the end of September. Google still relies on third-party watchmakers to utilize its software, and doesn't offer its own smartwatch.
To that end, I've been testing the new Wear OS on one of Google's partner watches, a Fossil Q Venture HR, over the last few weeks.
Here's what it's like.
