After an unfortunate delay, Wear OS 5 is finally coming to first- and second-gen Pixel Watch models in a software update.

The next major update for the Pixel Watch is expected to align with a Feature Drop in March 2025. In the meantime, users can still anticipate app-level updates through the December Pixel Drop.

While Google just dropped some new Pixel Watch updates this week after a couple months without, the company warns that no more are coming until 2025.

With that said, the holidays are just around the corner, and it'll be time to update your Pixel Watch again before you know it. If you have yet to update to the latest software version, you'll want to head into the Settings menu on your watch, then jump into the System section, and hit the System Updates option. It happens to all of us.

Google has resumed Wear OS 5 updates for the Pixel Watch. It had pulled the update for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 in September.

In a change to the usual release cadence, Google said yesterday that the next Pixel Watch update is not coming until March 2025.

Pixel Watch models are receiving new Wear OS 5 updates after issues in September. Updates for Pixel Watch 2 and 3 include fixes for unresponsive screen issues. New features like grid view and improved camera controls are now available on earlier Pixel Watch models with Wear OS 5.
