The Pixel Watch 1 and 2 will soon get an upgrade to Wear OS 5

Given that the Google Pixel Watch 3 launched on September 10, 2024, in two sizes, with new Fitbit integrations, and running Wear OS 5, it was likely only a matter of time before some of its software features rolled into previous Pixel Watches as well.

As expected, Google has announced that the latest Pixel Watch Update brings Wear OS 5 to the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2. The update has only just started rolling out and is being rolled out in phases, so you may not see it available as an over-the-air update right away.
