  • Google hasn’t extended the software support window for the Pixel Watch 3.
  • Like the original Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2, Google will only offer three years of software updates for its latest smartwatch.

Google set a new benchmark for software support with the launch of the Pixel 8 series last year, promising to deliver seven Android platform upgrades and seven years of security updates to the devices. The company has extended the same software support policy to the new Pixel 9 series, but the Pixel Watch 3‘s support window hasn’t seen any improvement.

Google only promised three years of software support for the original Pixel Watch and the Pixel Watch 2, and it hasn’t updated the policy for its latest smartwatch. Google’s support page highlighting software updates for its Pixel Watch lineup confirms (via 9to5Google) that the Pixel Watch 3 will get just three years of software updates.
