Redesigned Wear OS gives us a glimpse into Google's vision for the Pixel Watch

Your wrist is about to get a serious upgrade. Google announced on Wednesday that a long-overdue Wear OS redesign will be rolling out to all watches over the next month. It's not the first Wear OS refresh we've gotten--Google has quietly been updating the OS formerly known as Android Wear throughout 2018, including bringing a true dark mode that finally takes advantage of the OLED screens on nearly every smartwatch--but this is the first full-scale redesign it's gotten since Android Wear 2.0 landed back in February 2017. And while it's not quite the revolutionary overhaul some want to see, it does bring a nice visual improvement and a few necessary navigational shortcuts to help us spend less time touching the screen. Of note, watches will now use Google's Products Sans font, bringing them in line with the Pixel phones.
