Overview
- Users reported an in-app Google Health card on August 18–19, 2026 that said older Wear OS watches would stop syncing sleep and workout data unless updated.
- The message spread on Reddit and other forums, prompting concern among first‑generation Pixel Watch owners.
- Google posted on its support forum saying the card was shown incorrectly because of a bug and that it has removed the warning.
- Google confirmed Pixel Watch 1 remains supported and that Google Health sync works for devices running the required Wear OS versions (Wear OS 4 or later).
- The Pixel Watch 1 received successive Wear OS updates and its last update was delivered in October 2025 under a three‑year update promise, showing the incident was a notification error rather than a change in support policy.
