Google confirms it halted the Wear OS 5 update for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 | Infinium-tech
Google started shipping the Wear OS 5 update for the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 in September. However, shortly after the rollout began, a lot of people reported a very nasty issue with these older watches – after the update, the watch would get stuck on a blank screen.
Google heard all the reports and halted the rollout of the update on September 26, but it confirmed it today in an announcement on its support pages for the Pixel Watch line.
The company says it plans to resume the Wear OS 5 rollout for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 “later this year” once “the issues observed are mitigated.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the update will be released again any time soon.
So if you have a Pixel Watch or Pixel Watch 2 and were hoping to run Wear OS 5 on it, it looks like you’ll still have to wait quite a while.
