Most people reading this know that Google Pixel phones are some of the best you can get if you prioritize fast, reliable software updates. Most of the time, you’ll get a notification on your phone within a few days after an update goes live. And, if you don’t want to wait, it’s very easy to pop into the Settings app to see if you’re on the latest version. If not, a quick tap of the Check for updates button will get you there.
Strangely, this system does not apply to Google’s line of smartwatches in the Pixel Watch family. On all three Pixel Watch models, it can be a week or longer before your watch will automatically update to the latest version. Additionally, there is no obvious way in Wear OS settings to check for an update or force an update. I have found this to be incredibly frustrating with my Pixel Watch 3. It sucks knowing that there are updates available, but my watch simply refuses to bring the update on board.
