While phones are at 7 seven years, the Pixel Watch 3 is still set to get three years of updates after launch.
While phones are at 7 seven years, the Pixel Watch 3 is still set to get three years of updates after launch.
The Google Pixel Watch 3 is “guaranteed software updates until at least” October 2027, or “at least three years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US.” That language is unchanged from the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2.
It’s somewhat of note that Google is setting “October” as the month even as the Pixel Watch 3 is launching a month early.
(With the Pixel 9 series, it’s August 2031, even though the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are not launching until September 4. Another oddity there is how the “Pixel 9 & Pixel 9 Pro” are one line item, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL is a separate entry. You’d think it would be “Pixel 9 Pro & Pixel 9 Pro XL.”)
For Wear OS, Google does not distinguish between “Guaranteed Android version updates” and “Guaranteed security updates.
