Alongside the new Pixel Watch 3 launched earlier this month, Google also launched a revamped Weather Tile for watch faces to accommodate more weather information, and the Tile is apparently now coming to older Wear OS devices as well.
This comes from 9to5Google and Android Authority, and it looks like many users are noticing the updated tile appearing on their wrists. The tile should appear on smartwatches running at least Wear OS 3 (released in August 2021).
It's not clear whether this is related to an update to the Google Weather app on Android or whether it was enabled via a toggle on Google, but either way, you should see it on your own wearable device soon, if it hasn't appeared already.
The most significant change is the addition of a miniature hourly forecast below the main information about temperature and current conditions. This forecast shows the next three or four hours, depending on the size of the watch face.
Take time with you
As before, a tap on the weather tile still takes you to the full weather app on your wrist, where you can see more details, including a sunrise and sunset schedule and the chance of precipitation in your area.
Another change introduced with Google's new smartwatch (check out our hands-on test of the Google Pixel Watch 3 for more) is a more comprehensive exercise tile linked to the Fitbit app, but we haven't seen this implemented on any other Wear OS devices so far.
It looks like someone at Google is very interested in the weather right now: The main Google Weather app for Android has been updated for Pixel 9 phones, though it's not officially available for other phones yet.
The new and improved app comes with a selection of improved widgets, as well as notifications about impending weather changes and a weather map reminiscent of the old Dark Sky app.
