Google Pixel Watch's revised Wear OS 5.1 update skips a key feature

Google initially rolled out Wear OS 5.1 for the Pixel Watch lineup in early March, but pulled it a couple of weeks later due to several bugs. The company followed up with another bug-fixing release in early April for users still on the March 2025 build. This revised firmware was never widely pushed to Pixel Watch owners who hadn’t installed the original March 2025 update and were still on the November 2024 build. Thankfully, this is changing now, with Google finally rolling out a new update for the Pixel Watch widely.
