I upgraded to the Galaxy Watch 7 and installed HA exactly the same to the watch, but it's not working as the default Assistant anymore
#(fixed) HA Assistant as default Assistant not working after WearOS 5 update

It lets me set it as the default assistant for WearOS
but then, when I try to set it as the long press assistant button, it doesn't show up at all. In WearOS 4 (Watch 4) it let me set it. Not WearOS 5.
this feature in HA seems to break in WearOS 5 (at least for me)

doesnt show up here anymore
in WearOS 4 it shows up in that list

Wow I got it to work.
All I did was uninstall Google Assistant (which restores the stock version).
Then, when I long pressed the button, Google Assistant didn't open, but rather a menu asking which assistant I wanted to launch, with a "Always" button.
The "press and hold" app in WearOS settings is still "Assistant" with the google assistant logo. Yet it launches HA Assist now.
So...I am good now. Very bizarre fix. But hopefully this thread helps anyone else searching for this issue.
