Pixel Watch 5 users report Gemini failures

But Google is rolling out a fix

Pixel Watch 5 users report Gemini failures

Some Pixel Watch 5 users are reporting issues with Gemini, a chatbot that is supposed to be accessible on the device. According to reports on Reddit, Gemini is no longer working properly, with users receiving responses such as "I'm just a speech/text model, I can't do that" or "I'm having a hard time fulfilling your request."

The issue appears to be affecting multiple users, with some reporting that Gemini is unable to answer questions or perform simple tasks, such as starting a timer. The cause of the problem is currently unclear.

The Pixel Watch 5 offers various features, including advanced GPS route tracking and real-time workout information, and Gemini's functionality was a benefit for some users. Android Authority and Android Police have reported on the issue.
