Google recently rolled out the Wear OS 5 update for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2, based on Android 14. This update brought exciting new features and improved performance, especially in battery life. Many users have reported that their smartwatches now last longer on a single charge, which is a significant win for anyone who relies on their device throughout the day.
Battery life is a big concern for smartwatch users, so this improvement is especially important. With Wear OS 5, Pixel Watch users are enjoying more battery life than before. However, the rollout hasn’t gone smoothly for everyone. Some users experienced issues that caused their watches to “soft brick,” meaning the devices became unresponsive and couldn’t be used properly.
In response to these problems, Google has paused the update while they work on a solution. A spokesperson confirmed that they are aware of the issues and are actively addressing them, which means many Pixel Watch users currently can’t access the new features or battery improvements.

Despite these hiccups, there’s hope that the Wear OS 5 update will be released again soon, allowing more users to benefit from its enhancements. For those who have already received the update, the boost in battery life has been a positive change, making it easier to use their smartwatches for longer periods without worrying about running out of power.
As Google continues to fix the issues, users are eagerly waiting for the chance to experience all that Wear OS 5 has to offer. Stay tuned for updates from Google regarding the rollout!
