Google launches Wear OS 7 with Live Updates and a battery life boost

谷歌发布 Wear OS 7，带来“实时更新”功能与续航提升

Google’s Wear OS 7 update is starting to roll out today for the Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4, adding a new Live Updates feature that tracks live events from your Android smart watch. Live Updates will now sync with Wear OS devices, so updates like sports scores or an ongoing meal delivery will show up on both your watch and your phone. 谷歌的 Wear OS 7 更新于今日开始向 Pixel Watch 2、3 和 4 推送，新增了“实时更新”（Live Updates）功能，可直接在你的安卓智能手表上追踪实时事件。该功能现已与 Wear OS 设备同步，因此体育比分或正在进行的餐饮配送等更新将同时显示在你的手表和手机上。

You might also notice your watch lasting a little longer — Google claims Wear OS 7 offers up to 10 percent more battery life than Wear OS 6. 你可能还会发现手表的续航时间有所延长——谷歌声称，与 Wear OS 6 相比，Wear OS 7 的电池续航能力提升了高达 10%。

Wear OS 7 will also introduce some new Gemini Intelligence features, but Google says these aren’t launching until “later this year.” They’ll include Create My Widget, which you can use to generate custom Wear OS widgets using natural language prompts. Google says Gemini will also be able to handle multi-step app automation in Wear OS 7, such as making a reservation or placing a restaurant order from your watch. Wear OS 7 will update Gemini with Google’s new “neural expressive” design and add support for Personal Intelligence, which pulls data from connected Google apps to inform suggestions from Gemini. Wear OS 7 还将引入一些新的 Gemini 智能功能，但谷歌表示这些功能要到“今年晚些时候”才会推出。其中包括“创建我的小部件”（Create My Widget），你可以使用自然语言提示来生成自定义的 Wear OS 小部件。谷歌表示，Gemini 在 Wear OS 7 中还将能够处理多步骤的应用自动化任务，例如直接从手表上进行预订或下单点餐。Wear OS 7 将为 Gemini 更新谷歌全新的“神经表达”（neural expressive）设计，并增加对“个人智能”（Personal Intelligence）的支持，该功能可从关联的谷歌应用中提取数据，从而为 Gemini 提供更精准的建议。

Controlling media from your watch is also getting easier with a new output switcher, where you can move audio output from one connected device to another, like headphones or a Nest speaker. Google says smart glasses like the ones we saw at I/O last month will be able to connect to Wear OS 7 so you can preview photos taken with the glasses on your watch. 通过全新的输出切换器，从手表控制媒体变得更加简单，你可以将音频输出从一个已连接设备切换到另一个设备，例如耳机或 Nest 智能音箱。谷歌表示，像上个月在 I/O 大会上看到的智能眼镜将能够连接到 Wear OS 7，这样你就可以在手表上预览用眼镜拍摄的照片。

Third-party app developers can also now add Wear OS Widgets that should be easier for them to develop and more dynamic than the custom Tiles that launched in 2019. For devices that don’t get the update, Google says apps can continue to support Tiles too, or the widgets will be displayed as a full-screen tile on Wear OS 4, 5, and 6. 第三方应用开发者现在也可以添加 Wear OS 小部件，这些小部件比 2019 年推出的自定义磁贴（Tiles）更易于开发且更具动态性。对于无法获得此次更新的设备，谷歌表示应用可以继续支持磁贴，或者这些小部件将在 Wear OS 4、5 和 6 上以全屏磁贴的形式显示。

Lastly but not least, Google’s Emergency Sharing feature can also now automatically call your selected list of emergency contacts in addition to emergency services if your Pixel Watch detects a fall, loss of pulse, or a car crash. 最后同样重要的是，如果你的 Pixel Watch 检测到跌倒、脉搏消失或车祸，谷歌的“紧急共享”（Emergency Sharing）功能现在除了呼叫紧急服务外，还可以自动拨打你预设的紧急联系人列表。
