How long will the Pixel Watch 3 receive software updates?

Google‘s most recent wristwatch, the Pixel Watch 3, comes in two sizes for the first time: 41mm and 45mm. The wristwatch is still available for pre-order, and Google has disclosed when software support will be available for the new wearable. Shipments are scheduled for later this month.

The Pixel Watch 3 will receive guaranteed software upgrades through at least October 2027, or three years of updates, according to information on an official support website. According to Google, there can be feature reductions in addition to security upgrades in the software updates.

From the information, it reveals that Google is sticking to the same support duration it has offered since the first generation Pixel Watch i.e. three years from when the device first became available on the Google Store in the US. This means the Pixel Watch which launched in 2022 will receive updates until October 2025 while the Pixel Watch 2 which launched in 2023 will be updated through to October 2026.

However, this is quite short when compared to the Pixel 9 series which is guaranteed to receive software updates for a period of seven years. It is also shorter than the four years of updates that Samsung promises for its Galaxy Watch series starting with the Galaxy Watch 4 series.

The Pixel Watch 3, just like the Galaxy Watch 7, ships with Wear OS 5 which is the latest version of the software and is based on Android 14. The new watches bring features such as improvements to health and fitness tracking, better power efficiency, bigger battery capacity for the 45mm variant, and 20% faster charging for the 41mm version.
