Googlerecently rolled outa software updateforWear OSdevices, including its very ownPixel Watch. However, and as is often the case with these types of updates, the new software wasn’t immediately available for everyone at once.
More specifically, Pixel Watch users are asked to open the Settings app on their watch, scroll down to the System section at the bottom, then tap ‘System updates. The next screen will show the message “Your watch is up to date” and the software version number. If you don’t think this is correct, and a newer version should be installed, simply tap the watch icon with the tick on its display.
You can tap slowly or quickly, but repeatedly doing so eventually refreshes the screen and begins the download and installation process of theDecember Wear OS update. It’s a trick that was first discovered back on Wear OS2 and Wear OS3, and it seems Google is still allowing it to work, but without offering a more official way of forcing an update.
Once you’ve forced the update to begin, it’s worth turning Bluetooth off. That way, your Pixel Watch will be forced to use its Wi-Fi connection, which will result in a faster download. Also make sure the watch’s battery is above 50 percent, and remember that Google suggests the download and installation will take approximately 10 percent of the battery’s charge.
