Google is finally resuming the rollout of Wear OS 5 for older Pixel Watch models – here’s what you need to know

• Google is restarting the Wear OS 5 rollout on older Pixel Watch models
• It was previously paused because it was bricking devices
• Pixel Watch 1 and 2 users will now see the rollout begin

Googling has confirmed that it is restarting the rollout of Wear OS 5 Pixel watch 1 and 2 owners, weeks after the update was pulled because the new software bricked devices.

Google has paused the Wear OS 5 update in late September after users reported that the update was freezing their older generation Pixel Watch models. Google told us at the time that it had put the update on hold while a fix was sought.
