Google Assistant Icon refuses to become Gemini on One UI 8 on my Watch Ultra (2024)

I have two Ultras. Both recently updated to One UI 8. However, one of my Ultras refuses to show the Gemini Icon and no matter what I do, it still shows on the watch as Google Assistant icon. Any suggestions?

The rollout is supposed to be staged, so maybe one of them is still on the 'waiting list'? Have you tried re-logging into your Google Account on the watch? (Or, since the watch is a lot easier than the phone, back it up, reset, and restore)

Gonna try clearing tbe watches cache partition. Not sure if a reset a d restore is worth the hassle. I never get my watch faces restored...

That's odd, I've been using the backup/restore function from the Wearable app for at least 3 Galaxy Watch models and so far every single setting and watchface has transferred without issues. But hopefully a re-login helps.

Somehow, mine don't. But I kept screenshots of my most favorite for that reason. Just hate reconfiguring...

Just reset the watch everything EXCEPT my customized watch faces got restored and it correctly installed Gemini with the Gemini icon. I did screenshot my watch faces before reset, so at least I know HOW I had customized them. Unfortunately, forgot to screenshot my tiles/tile order, but I used my Ultra #2 as a reference as they are pretty much identical in terms of tiles, but in a different order (order not a big deal, though).

If it's on Beta probably a glitch

No, not on beta. Didn't make the cut for the beta, so waited and now have full blown One UI 8 installed on my Ultras. I guess I could reset and just use the second Ultra's backup. But I have already started to re-customize watch faces from the screen shot I did on my phone before I reset the first Ultra. Just a pain that Smart switch always complains that it could not restore watch faces at my new setups.

so the watch is already on official one UI 8?
