The May 2024 security update for the Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 is being rolled out by Google. The update ought to start appearing on your Pixel Watch if it is running Wear OS 4. Don’t worry if you haven’t received it yet; it will continue to roll out over the course of the next week, depending on your carrier and device.
The most recent security updates are included in the May 2024 software release.
Every month at the beginning, Google typically releases the security update for its Pixel watches and phones. Google is already releasing the fix for its wearables, but Pixel phones are still waiting on the May 2024 update. However, the May 2024 release for the Pixel Watch is primarily focused on resolving security vulnerabilities, so don’t expect any significant improvements.
Your Pixel Watch will alert you to the update when it’s ready and prompt you to download the OTA. The build number TWD9.240505.001.A1 should be noted. If you can’t wait to see if you have the May update, do the following:
- Navigate to Settings
- Select System Select

With the upcoming Pixel Feature Drop, scheduled for June 2024, it appears that the Pixel Watch will get some new functions. Google updated the original Pixel Watch with the March 2024 Feature Drop, which included automatic workout detection along with zone training based on heart rate and pace.
The Pixel Watch received an upgrade in April 2024 that included some surprising features, such as enhanced auto brightness for a more seamless experience and haptic feedback for checking the time.
