Fossil Gen 5 help

New to the forum and first Wear OS device.

Liking the watch so far but still fine tuning.

One issue I have is that I understand that the a long press of the crown should launch google assistance, when I do so I get a short vibrate but the assistant doesn't seem to launch and nothing changes on the screen. A longer press goes to the restart / turn off menu.

Is there an issue here or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for any help.

(Need a new phone as well so off to look through the devices chat!!)

Okay, good, I was just wanting to confirm that Assistant itself does seem to work correctly. I don't have a clue why Assistant wouldn't be responding to the long-press on the crown button. I don't have a Gen 5 Fossil to test with but it works fine on my Misfit Vapor X (basically a rebadged gen-4 Fossil Sport).

Have you checked in the Play Store on the watch to make sure everything is up to date?
