Here’s the crux of the matter: Google Pixel Watch March 2023 update is now rolling out. This is after the Google Play system update for the month as well as the March security patch has been rolled out.
The Pixel Watch is currently on the March 5, 2023 security patch level as a result of this Google Pixel Watch March 2023 update. RWDA.230114.008.R1 is the new build number for watches in Japan and Taiwan, with a RWDA.230114.008.J2 version. It is no longer RWD9.220429.x as it was in the previous three versions. This is a larger update than the previous three months: Faces, Display, Touch, Settings, Alarms, and Settings are all available on the watch. Let’s take a look at the features.
