Are the gesture controls now if we swipe down and go to the settings scroll down just a little bit more until we find gestures now over here we have tilt awake and touch two way features of which i definitely prefer the tilt awake one but thats, not What were here for were here for the navigations. Now we can toggle on with caches over here, which allows us to have two more different gestures and the first one is that if we flick our wrist away from us, we can scroll down and that works on our messages, but also on our app. And it does not have to be a hard flick its enough if you gently flick your wrist and that also works the other way around. Of course now we also have a second gesture, which is that if we flick the wrist towards us, it scrolls up uh that doesnt work as good, but it still works, and the very last one that i didnt tell you about is that if we shake our Wrist just a little bit, we get back to the home screen pretty cool right.
I love the google voice assistant, since you can do so many different things with that one. You can either scroll left and press the mic to activate it. Press the middle button for a second or just hide google, but be sure to toggle on the ok, google detection first. Otherwise that wont work with the google voice assistant. You cannot only search for stuff on the internet, but you can also set a timer start. A workout call. Your friends. Do some similar math, like what is 16 of 1 786 easy stuff right.

You can also do a little bit of customization like turn on or off the always on screen mode to save some extra battery life. The extender mode only turns on the essential features when you need them, and therefore you only have to charge the watch every few days and the third mode is the time only mode which really turns off all the fun features of your smartwatch.
And you can only see the time now. One new thing that the gen 6 brings to the table is that you can automatically change to the extended mode or you can tell the watch that it should switch to the extended mode.
