Google is introducing an update for the original Pixel Watch, which was launched in 2022, aimed at enhancing emergency dialing functions. The update, referred to as the “additional March 2026 software update,” is primarily focused on fixing bugs that affect E911 Emergency dialing.
This update, designated as BW1A.260305.003, is built on Wear OS 5.1 and operates on Android 15. Users should note that this model will not receive updates to Wear OS 6+, as it has exceeded its three-year support window. However, it will continue to receive app updates from the Play Store.
As of Monday, the over-the-air (OTA) update is not yet accessible for manual installation through factory images. Additionally, the March 2026 update for the LTE variants of the Pixel Watch 2, 3, and 4 is still pending release. Google has indicated that the rollout will occur gradually in the coming weeks, depending on carrier and device compatibility.
