Google has launched an April update for the Pixel Watch, focusing on bug fixes and improved consistency across all models. The update appears to be designated as BP1A.250305.019.W7 and is rolling out to the Pixel Watch 3, alongside the Pixel Watch 2 and the original Pixel Watch. According to reports, while the changelog from Google has not yet been published, the update is expected to resolve issues such as delayed notifications and excessive battery drain that were introduced with the March update. This April release still incorporates the March security patch, indicating that Google aims to maintain security while addressing user complaints.
The latest update builds on the Wear OS 5.1 framework that was introduced last month. Unlike previous updates, which often had different build numbers for different models, this update standardizes the firmware across all Pixel Watch devices, allowing for a more cohesive user experience. As of now, users can download and manually install the firmware or check for the OTA update by navigating to Settings > System > System Updates on their smartwatches. Google has committed to releasing more substantial updates moving forward, starting with the Wear OS 5.1 update last month, with future updates expected to arrive quarterly.
As users anticipate further information on the firmware, the focus remains on enhancing the overall functionality of the devices, ensuring they operate smoothly and efficiently. Google is expected to release a complete changelog for this update soon, providing additional details on the improvements included.
