The update will also allow your Wear OS powered smartwatch to go into a deep sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity. This also will help conserve the life of the battery. Another new feature that is part of the “H” update is called Smart App Resume and allows you to “easily pick up where you left off across all apps on your watch.”
Lastly, turning your OS Wear powered watch off will require just two steps once this update is installed. First, hold the power button until the power off screen appears. When it does, select “power off,” or “restart.”
Google says that the update will be “progressively rolling out over the coming months.” In addition, it is possible that your device might not be eligible to receive the update right away; the decision as to when it arrives, or if your watch receives the update at all, is up to the manufacturer. In other words, don’t blame Google if you receive it weeks later, or if it never arrives.
