00:00Hey! In this video, I'll be showing you how to set up Google Gemini on your Samsung Galaxy

00:04SmartWatch Plus, some of the best prompts that you can try right now. I'm Paul and this is Setup

00:09Essentials, the series where we help you get the most out of your tech. Today is all about using

00:13Gemini from your wrist, so let's get started. Before I take you through the features of Gemini

00:18on Galaxy Watch, we need to talk about compatibility. Out of the box, the Galaxy Watch 8,

00:22which I have right here, supports Gemini on the wrist thanks to One UI 8 Watch software.

00:26But if you're rocking an older Galaxy Watch, don't worry, because One UI 8 is also available

00:32on older generation devices that support Wear OS 4 or newer. This includes the Galaxy Watch Ultra,

00:38the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch 6, and the Galaxy Watch 5. But just so you know,

00:43Samsung software updates roll out a little bit more gradually, so depending on when you're

00:47watching this video, you may or may not have access to those updates yet. If you have one

00:51of those compatible devices but you're still not seeing the update, make sure to save this video

00:55and come back when you finally get One UI 8 installed on your device so you don't miss

00:59out on all the Gemini features that I'm going over. All right, so if you're ready and you have One UI 8

01:05installed, here's how you can set up Gemini on your Galaxy Watch. First, swipe up on the display

01:10to access the app menu and then open Settings. Scroll down and open Google, then click on the Digital

01:18Assistant. If you're not already signed into your Google account, you'll be prompted to sign in

01:23using your paired phone. As a quick note, you will need to have your phone nearby if this is your

01:27first time using Gemini on your Galaxy Watch. You'll just be taking through a couple prompts

01:32to tap through, but then you'll be good to move on. Back under the Digital Assistant tab,

01:36you have a toggle for Hey Google, which lets you activate the assistant with your voice.

01:40Hey Google, what's the weather today?

01:44New York, it'll be sunny with a high of 90 and a low of 74.

01:48You can also toggle it with a press and hold, which by default is going to be your top home button.

01:59If you want to assign a different button to Gemini, you can change this by going into Buttons

02:03and Gestures from the main Settings menu.

02:08Going back to Google Settings, you can also toggle the Gemini voice on or off. When it's on, answers will

02:14play out loud through the speakers. But if you prefer reading responses, you can turn this off

02:18completely. And speaking of turning off, you can completely turn off Google Gemini from your Galaxy

02:24Watch if you decide that's just not for you. Honestly, a lot of you may prefer having a Galaxy

02:28Watch that's more focused on fitness and notifications. I get that. Just keep in mind that the watch will

02:33now default to Bixby, which for being honest, isn't that great. And if you've made it this far into the

02:38video and you found it helpful, give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more setup essential walkthroughs.

02:42So now that I've shown you how to get Gemini set up, I'm going to take you through some of the

02:46things that you can use Gemini on Galaxy Watch 4 right from your wrist. So with Gemini ready to

02:50go on my Galaxy Watch 8, what can I ask it? If you're already familiar with Gemini from another

02:55device like a smartphone, the experience is going to be very similar, but let me give you some of my

02:59favorite prompts that I've been using. Tell me some good news.

03:02Add a meeting to your calendar. Set a calendar reminder at 5pm tonight to review the new Sony camera.

03:14You can get information on landmarks. What are some nearby landmarks?

03:29Or directions based on where you're located. Give me walking directions to the highline.

03:34Get help creating a playlist for your next run. Create an email punk running playlist.

03:54Ask it about the contents of your fridge. Are tomatoes safe to feed to cats?

03:58Where to find good places to eat nearby? What are some nearby taco restaurants?

04:12Or if you're feeling adventurous, combine multiple tasks into one, also known as multimodal prompts.

04:18What's the weather tomorrow and how is Nvidia stock doing today?

04:28So as you can tell, Gemini is a direct link to most of your Google apps, including maps, calendar,

04:33mail, and YouTube music. And it also has integration with third-party ones like Spotify

04:38and WhatsApp if you want to use those as well. Altogether, this feels very integrated with

04:42Gemini on your phone, but my favorite part is you don't actually need to have your phone actively

04:46connected for these features to work. So long as the Galaxy Watch is online via Wi-Fi or LTE,

04:52you can access Gemini even if your phone isn't in Bluetooth range,

04:56making it even more useful on its own. And that's really all there is to setting up and

05:01using Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 or other supported models. If you've already had the chance

05:06to play around with it, go ahead and let me know your favorite prompts in the comments so that I can

05:10try them out for myself. And of course, if you found this video helpful, make sure to stay subscribed

05:14so you don't miss another set of essential or review on other popular devices. You can find us everywhere
