Bullshit. My fossil gen5 sport still doesn't have Google assistant.

[edit to correct myself] apparently I did receive an update at some point recently that finally brought Goog assist

I have a Fossil Gen 6 and didn't get any such update.

Not surprised at all. The difference between two wearos looks small on gui level, but is much bigger internally Plus, wearos2 watches are super limited in hw.

What's the difference? I don't own a smartwatch so I'm not really in the know.

Wearos2 is android 9. Wearos3 - android 11. Hardware of wearos2 watchfaces is years outdated and very limited (for example, ram) so developers complained that it barely can run any 3pp. Wearos3 requires newer CPU and more ram. On top of that some watch specific functionality was tuned as well, but here I do not know details.
