Google Releases October Maintenance Update for Original Pixel Watch as Support Window Nears End

Google’s three-year policy sets the first Pixel Watch’s support through October 2025, making this small release the final guaranteed update.

Overview

  • The October rollout for Pixel Watch 1 arrives as build BW1A.251005.003.W1 for both LTE and Bluetooth/Wi‑Fi models.
  • The update keeps the watch on Android 15 with Wear OS 5.1 rather than moving to Wear OS 6 and Android 16.
  • Google has not explicitly said updates are ending, though its published schedule lists support for the original model only through October 2025.
  • Google’s watch policy promises three years of updates starting when a device first became available on the Google Store in the US.
  • Users can check for the build via Settings > System > System updates on the watch, with a reported tapping trick sometimes prompting the download.
