Session on WearOS at Google I/O
-
Got the new play store and pay during the night in Denmark. Excited to see if it works later today.

@harboe Just tested in my local store and it worked. An odd thing I don’t know if it’s just because it’s the first time is that I had to do it twice and on the second try it prompted for my pin.

I think that’s perfectly normal for Google Pay, it’s a security thing. Next time should be a simple tap and go

@aleksander-h Hello everyone, from today it is possible to pay by watch via Wear OS in the Czech Republic as well! One question, please: at the time of payment, the watch must be connected to the phone via Wear OS (Bluetooth? Thanks.

No, you do not need to have the watch connected to the phone at the time of payment

@sindre-svellingen Yes finally!

@olymay I believe there is a limit to how many payments you can make before you must re-establish a connection to the phone.

Yes, I think you are right (also the first payment must be connected to phone too) but I don’t know what the limit is as I have never done more than one transaction without my phone.

Spotify with offline music could come to our watches any day now:
“Look out for Spotify on smartwatches running offline Wear OS from the likes of Fossil, Mobvoi, and Suunto rolling out over the coming weeks. Head to Google Play to download the app or update your watch to the latest version. Once the new features are available, you’ll be on your way.”

@sindre-svellingen just tried GPay for the first time and it worked perfectly! Very happy about this update.

Hmm, not a massive fan of the new Play Store to be honest!
Its basically the same as it was, except with some extra mess in the form of distracting tablet buttons that could be a lot more transparent than they are.
Oh, and a wonky curved clock, in case I forgot what time it is from looking at the watch face 5 seconds before opening the Play Store.
I wonder if there should be a WearOS setting to configure ‘hint’ colour (like on the old Windows Phones) across the whole OS. It all feels a bit jarring going from the subtle yellow tinted Suunto Marine watch face, to suddenly getting these bright white buttons.
Across other Google Apps, they seem to have their own tint too…most apps are Blue (Timer, Alarm, Messages etc), Keep Note is Orange…wouldnt it be nice to set a Theme for the Watch?
