TL;DR<\/p>\n
Wear OS 6 is now available for Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2, ahead of the Pixel Watch 4\u2019s release date.
\nThe update brings with it a handful of visual changes, including adaptive color theming.
\nThe first-generation Pixel Watch hasn\u2019t received the update yet, but it may soon.<\/p>\n
Google\u2019s newest wearable, the Pixel Watch 4<\/a>, hits store shelves tomorrow.\u00a0Android Authority\u2018s Kaitlyn Cimino gave the watch a glowing review, praising its refined design, display, and health tracking. She also liked the visual refresh and new features included in Wear OS 6<\/a>. Today, in a notably pro-consumer move from Google, that update has begun rolling out to older Pixel Watch devices.<\/p>\n As spotted by\u00a09to5Google<\/a>, the Wear OS 6 update is now available for both Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2. I\u2019m seeing the update on my own Pixel Watch 3 in the US, and on a post on the Pixel Watch subreddit from user Loud-Possibility4395<\/a>, multiple commenters say they\u2019ve initiated the update. One mentions downloading Wear OS 6 in Germany, too, implying this is a wide rollout.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Wear OS 6 brings with it a handful of visual updates in line with Google\u2019s current Material 3 Expressive design language. There\u2019s optional dynamic color theming that can color-coordinate parts of the watch\u2019s UI to match the color applied to your watch face, new rounded buttons that hug the edges of the display, and some updated UI elements and animations. Google also says that the update can bring up to a 10% increase in battery life compared to Wear OS 5.<\/p>\n The update is available on Bluetooth and LTE versions of the Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2 right now. The update isn\u2019t yet available for the first-generation Pixel Watch, but given that model is officially eligible for updates through this month, we expect it\u2019ll get Wear OS 6 in the weeks to come.<\/p>\n You can check for the update by opening your watch\u2019s settings, heading to System, then tapping\u00a0System updates.\u00a0Google\u2019s also got OTA images<\/a> available for download.<\/p>\n![\"google](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/ "\\"google"){kind=icon}
