The launch follows a familiar script.

Google’s Gemini-powered health coach sounds like a rebranded fitness tracker with a chatbot. It’s a health and wellness advisor that’s been done before. The machine learning twist is just a fancy way of saying “we’re using data to make suggestions.” The Wear OS device requirement is just a way to sell more smartwatches. Because what you really needed was another device to tell you to exercise and eat healthy.
