Google may have hit pause on Pixel Watch Wear OS 5 updates
 

• Google’s Wear OS 5 update for the Pixel Watch 1 and 2 may have hit a snag.
• Some users were stuck with black screens post-update, and forced to factory reset their watches.
• Google may have even paused distribution of the update as the cause of these problems is investigated.

Software updates are supposed to be almost like taking a sip from the fountain of youth, making our old devices feel fresh and modern again. With new features, new fixes, and sometimes even a whole visual makeover, updates keep on adding value to our gear — when they work. It only takes one bad update to very quickly ruin your day, and that seems to be just what’s been happening for a group of Pixel Watch users.

Earlier this week, Google began making Wear OS 5 available as an update to owners of the original Pixel Watch and the follow-up Pixel Watch 2.
