Original Pixel Watch Gets Minor October Update as Support Window Ends

The build keeps the first-gen model on Android 15/Wear OS 5.1 near the three-year update cutoff.

Overview

  • Google is rolling out build BW1A.251005.003.W1 to the 2022 Pixel Watch for both LTE and Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi variants.
  • The release does not upgrade the watch to Wear OS 6/Android 16 and is described as a small update focused on security patches and bug fixes.
  • Google’s published schedule lists the first Pixel Watch as supported through October 2025, after which further updates are not guaranteed.
  • Google has not explicitly said updates will stop, but owners should not expect additional major OS upgrades or assured security patches beyond the cutoff.
  • Newer Pixel Watch models have longer timelines and recently received Wear OS 6, underscoring the divergence in software support across the lineup.
