Google has started rolling out the latest security patch update to the Pixel Watch. The update is rolling out to eligible users a few days after Pixel phones got the update.
With the Pixel Watch January 2024 security patch update, Google has resolved some security vulnerabilities and improved performance. It’s rolling out with a version number TWD9.240105.004.A1, based on Wear OS 4, and it’s available for the four models.
It’s a general release, meaning everyone has probably received the update. To check for the update, navigate to Settings>>System>>System Updates>>Your Watch is up to date. Tap on it multiple times to initiate the download, but you have to be charging your Watch to complete the installation. Interestingly, you can speed up the download and installation process when you disable Bluetooth and force Wi-Fi from Connectivity preference.
Meanwhile, some reports claim that after the upgrade, the Watch started experiencing Battery drain – dropping from 100 to 92% in 10 minutes. That’s probably because of the new update, and with time, the battery life will be back to normal.
