The Smartwatch industry is growing rapidly, thanks to Wear OS and Apple Watches. Increased competition in the Smartwatch market influences manufacturers to add the latest technology into their smartwatches. This is evident with Google’s recent launch of the Pixel Watch 3, which features many improvements and changes.
Software updates helps devices run smoothly even after years of use. They keep the device up to date with latest features matching latest devices. However, many brands forget about updates after releasing a product, leaving users unsure whether their device will receive future updates. If you have similar doubts about the Pixel Watch 3, we’ll clear them here.
Some trusted brands like Apple, Google, and Samsung push regular updates for their devices until the last day of the promised duration. Luckily Pixel Watch 3, a Google product is eligible for a few years, although it doesn’t match the smartphone update policy of seven years.
How Many Years of Updates Will the Pixel Watch 3 Receive?
The Pixel Watch 3 is supported until October 2027, which means three years of guaranteed updates. The first and second Pixel Watch are also supported for the same number of years. This means you will get feature updates as well as security updates on your Pixel Watch 3 for the next three years.
3 years of support is not the best in Wear OS watches as Samsung has already promised 4 years of One UI Watch and Wear OS updates for Galaxy Watch 4 and later models. So we were expecting Google to at least match Samsung’s update policy as Wear OS is a Google product just like Android which should benefit Google.
Now that you know the Pixel Watch 3 is eligible for Wear OS updates for up to three years. The watch already comes with Wear OS 5 which is this year’s major smartwatch update, so that’s a good thing. The first major update will come next year as Wear OS 6. And you can expect updates up to Wear OS 8.
Wear OS 5 comes with many cool features that you can find in Pixel Watch 3. Some of them are a new launcher experience, less battery consumption, privacy dashboard, and more.
