- Google has paused the Wear OS 5 update for the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 after users reported devices getting stuck on a blank screen.
- A new community update indicates that the rollout will resume later this year once the issues are resolved, leading to longer wait times for users.
- Google recommends factory resetting the watches or performing a hard reset as temporary solutions for those experiencing issues.
Google has once again acknowledged an ongoing issue with the Wear OS 5 update for the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2. A few weeks ago, Google rolled out the September update for the smartwatches. However, the software was quickly rescinded after owners started reporting that their devices were stuck on a blank screen after the update. Google has said it’s working on a resolution, but it looks like users will have to wait a bit longer.
