Earlier this year, Google announced its latest Wear OS 6 update for its Pixel Watch lineup. However, among the legacy wearables, only the Pixel Watch 2 and 3 received this update, leaving the original Pixel Watch still running on Wear OS 5. If you’re among those who own the original Pixel Watch, there’s some positive news: Google has released the October 2025 update for your smartwatch.
Pixel Watch Receives October 2025 Update
According to Google, all eligible original Pixel Watch devices will begin receiving the October 2025 update starting today. The company notes, “The rollout will continue over the coming weeks in phases depending on carrier and device. Users will receive a notification on their watch once the software update becomes available.” This phased approach allows for a smoother rollout, ensuring that users get the update without overwhelming the network.
Before you get too excited, it’s important to clarify that this update isn’t introducing a slew of new features. Instead, the focus is primarily on security enhancements and bug fixes. For users still relying on the original Pixel Watch, this update aims to address issues you might be encountering, providing a more stable and secure experience.
It’s also notable that the smartwatch is guaranteed at least three years of updates, meaning that the October 2025 is the last guaranteed update you will receive. While this does not rule out the possibility of future updates—like emergency fixes for critical issues—users shouldn’t expect regular feature updates going forward.
How to Update Your Pixel Watch
As stated by Google, the rollout will occur gradually over the next few weeks. If the update isn’t available for you just yet, there’s no need to panic; it will reach you soon. However, if you wish to check for the update manually, it’s straightforward. Simply navigate to Settings > System > System updates. Tap on the “Your watch is up to date” message multiple times to initiate the download process.
Once the update is downloaded, follow the prompts to update your watch, and you’ll be all set. While the original Pixel Watch may be a few years old, it remains a competent smartwatch for those looking for a reliable companion to their smartphone. However, if you’re seeking the latest features and improvements, it may be worth considering an upgrade to the Pixel Watch 4.
