Following the last release in October, Google is rolling out a modem update for the original Pixel Watch released in 2022.

This “additional March 2026 software update” just includes “bug fixes to improve E911 Emergency dialing behavior.”

BW1A.260305.003 (from BW1A.251005.003.W1) remains Wear OS 5.1 based on Android 15. The original Pixel Watch will not get Wear OS 6+ having surpassed its three-year update guarantee. It will continue to receive app updates from the Play Store.

As of Monday morning, the OTA is not yet available on the factory images site for manual install. Similarly, Google has yet to release the March 2026 update for LTE versions of the Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4. 

As always, this “rollout will continue over the coming weeks in phases depending on carrier and device.” Go to Settings > System > System updates.
