Google Extends Create My Widget to Smartwatches With Wear OS 7 as Apple Prepares iOS 27 AI Shortcuts

Summary
Google said Tuesday that Create My Widget is coming to its smartwatch lineup with Wear OS 7, letting users build watch widgets by simply describing what they want to see.
Gemini powers the feature and also enables multi-step app automation from the watch, including tasks such as reserving a spin bike or ordering a usual meal.
Wear OS 7 also adds live Pixel Watch updates from phone apps, broader multi-device support for upcoming eyewear and headphones, and a 10% battery-life increase.
The move follows Apple’s iOS 27 reveal last week of Describe a Shortcut, an AI tool that turns plain-language prompts into automations instead of requiring manual setup.
