Google addresses Wear OS 5.1 issues for Pixel Watches
Google has confirmed that the recent update of Wear OS 5.1 is causing problems for some Pixel Watch users. Many have reported issues such as crashing, slow performance, and delayed notifications. The company has stated that it is aware of the problem and is working to fix it. The Wear OS 5.1 update was recently rolled out to Pixel Watch models, including the Pixel Watch 3. This update included new features, but it unfortunately led to a series of complaints from users about their watches not functioning properly. Google mentioned that the issues seem to affect only a small group of users. They are currently investigating the situation and aim to resolve it quickly. A spokesperson assured that updates would be provided once a solution is ready. While it may be reassuring that only a few devices are affected, many users are frustrated by the ongoing issues. They've reported that their watches are not sending timely notifications and are experiencing crashes and unresponsive screens. This isn’t the first time Google has faced challenges with its Wear OS updates. Just a few months ago, a previous rollout had to be paused due to similar problems. Unlike Apple, which usually manages smoother software updates for its smartwatches, Google has struggled in this area. Despite owning Fitbit, which recently upgraded its devices, Google’s approach to Wear OS updates has left some users feeling disappointed. As of now, there is no specific timeline for when a fix for Wear OS 5.1 will be available, but updates from Google are expected soon.
