It&#8217;s otherwise a standard analog face with four available complication slots.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re only seeing this new Google Contacts app (version 1.4.1.x) on Wear OS 3 with the Galaxy Watch 4. (You must first grant the contacts permission after installing.) It does not appear on older wearables we checked today .
