Overview
- Google is releasing a March 2026 modem update for the original Pixel Watch that fixes a flaw affecting 911 and emergency dialing.
- The firmware carries build number BW1A.260305.003 and ships as a single global build.
- Rollout is underway in a phased deployment that may take weeks depending on carrier and device.
- This is the first update issued since the watch’s official Wear OS support ended in fall 2025.
- The watch remains on Wear OS 5.1 with no upgrade to Wear OS 6, reflecting broader Pixel reports of 911 calling issues dating back to 2021.
