Google details October update for Pixel Watch lineup

Google has officially detailed the October 2025 update for its Pixel Watch lineup. Some users began receiving the Wear OS 6 update on their Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3 even before Google published its official community announcement. Now that the changelog is live, we have a full look at what’s new for the Pixel Watch  2 and Pixel Watch 3.

Google confirms that all eligible smartwatches will get Wear OS 6 through the October 2025 update, which is rolling out now. As usual, the rollout will happen in phases over the coming weeks, depending on region, carrier, and device. You’ll receive a notification once the update is available for your watch, or you can check manually by navigating to Settings > System > System updates on your Pixel Watch.
