Google pulled its Wear OS update for old Pixel Watches to fix a big problem

Google plans to resume the Wear OS 5 rollout for older Pixel Watches “later this year,” as previously reported by Droid Life.

If the update bricked your watch, there are ways to get it working again. Google’s support site has a bunch of general troubleshooting steps for getting out of a frozen watch, as well as instructions on how to factory reset from Fastboot if you can’t get to the usual settings.

If your Pixel Watch is healthy and working, Google also just rolled out a neat new feature that pops a notification on your phone once your watch is fully charged up — and you don’t need Wear OS 5 for that.
