Pixel Watch users face notification issues after update

Many users are reporting problems with their Pixel Watch and other Android-based smartwatches. This follows a recent update to Wear OS 5.1, the first for these devices since November. Since the update, some users have noticed delays in notifications and difficulty syncing with the Fitbit app. Others say the performance is slower than before. Additionally, some watches crash when users try to change the watch face, and others cannot change colors or complications. Some users have tried restarting their watches or doing a factory reset, but these steps have not resolved the issues. Google has not yet acknowledged these problems or confirmed whether they are linked to the Wear OS 5.1 update. The next update for these devices is not expected until June, though a fix might come sooner if the issues are severe. Despite these problems, the Wear OS 5.1 update includes several new features. It improves app sign-ins, allows playback of media on watches with speakers, and enhances health tracking, including a new "Loss of Pulse" detection for the Pixel Watch 3. Other improvements include better media controls and more accurate step counting. We will keep you updated on this situation as more information becomes available.
