Latest Google Pixel Watch update

August 7, 2023: If you own a Pixel Watch, get ready for a new security update. The August patch is rolling out now to the wearable, both for the LTE and Wi-Fi-only models. Look for software version RWDC.230805.001, but don’t expect too much. The update is just some bug fixes. We fully expect the Pixel Watch to get Wear OS 4 soon, so that could be the next big update.
