Wear OS watches could learn a lot from Garmin

Quick Summary:

Our staff regularly uses Wear OS watches, but Garmin watches have tricks that tempt us away that Google and Samsung should borrow and make their own.

These watches use basic, low-powered chips that can't handle speedy apps; Wear OS is too demanding to last long at full power, especially if it starts adding Gemini tricks.

I spoke to my colleagues Derrek Lee, Andrew Myrick, and Jerry Hildenbrand, who have all used both Wear OS watches and Garmin watches, to figure out what Wear OS should borrow from Garmin to become even better.
