Google Updates Wear OS Clock with M3 Expressive App Icons
Google has begun rolling out an update to its Clock app for Wear OS, introducing support for M3 expressive app icons. The visual refresh, first spotted in August 2024, dynamically adjusts icon colors based on wallpaper and system themes, enhancing personalization and aesthetic consistency across the Wear OS interface.
The update arrives as Google continues to refine the Wear OS experience, aiming to deliver a more cohesive and visually appealing platform for smartwatch users. This change impacts owners of Wear OS devices-including the pixel Watch and watches from Samsung, Fossil, and others-by providing a more integrated look and feel. The M3 design language,introduced with Android 13,prioritizes customization and dynamic theming,and this clock app update extends those capabilities to app icons on the wrist. Users can expect to see the updated icons appear automatically as the update propagates.
