Google will reportedly ditch Assistant on older smartwatches.
It’s believed Assistant will be killed off on watches running Wear OS 2 or earlier.

There are still loads of smartwatches on the market running Wear OS 2 or earlier, even though Google has since launched Wear OS 3 and 4. However, it sounds like the Mountain View giant will soon kill Google Assistant on these older watches.

9to5Google found a text string in the Wear OS companion app APK suggesting that Google will ditch Assistant on Wear OS 2 and earlier.
