Google is gearing up to release Android 16 in the coming months, and it brings a tweaked look as well as plenty of other improvements. The company is also working on Wear OS 6, and it’s now revealed a vague launch window.
Google confirmed at its Android Show event that Wear OS 6 will roll out in the “coming months” to Pixel Watch models and new watches from partners. For what it’s worth, Wear OS 5 debuted in July 2024 with the Galaxy Watch 7 series. So don’t be surprised if Wear OS 6 debuts alongside the Galaxy Watch 8 series or shortly after the Samsung watch launch.
