Google continues to prepare its Play store for the arrival of Wear OS 3.0 for smartwatches. The latest update allows you to install watch apps from your phone's Play store and adds useful filters to narrow your search to just Watch apps or Watch faces.

The Play store app on the watch itself is also getting the UI revamp that Google announced at the beginning of the month, featuring Material You design queues.
