Well, you might...

I use the App Notify and Fitness. It has an option to set an action on a tap on the MB3. You can selected some presets, but Google Assistant is not one of them. However, Tasker is.... And you could make a Tasker action to start Google Assistant...


Edit...
Starting Voice Assistant is natively supported in the N&F app, I just discovered. Have not tested it myself!

Just tested it, and can confirm it works!

You have to take these steps:

Wake up you band
Go to the heart rate screen
Press till the 'meter' has run
Now do the 1 time tap
Google Assistant opens!

that's bad mate. i don't want to go into hr screen to start google assistant. i thought a tap or a double tap would be enough. thanks for testing

Yes, I too was not that happy with the amount of steps needed to get done what you want. The App even N&F supports double and triple tapping. It's just a lot of effort to get to the correct mode on the MB3.

Perhaps another solution is available. Others, please feel free to chime in!
