Summary

  • Verizon leak details indicate Wear OS 7 is slated for Pixel Watch 2, 3 and 4 in 2026, while the upcoming Pixel Watch 5 is expected to ship with the new software.
  • The original 2022 Pixel Watch appears left out because Google promised it only 3 years of software updates, with support ending in October 2025.
  • Wear OS 7 adds features including Wear Widgets, live updates and Gemini Intelligence support on some compatible devices, making the cutoff more noticeable for first-generation owners.
  • Google still has not announced an official rollout schedule, but the leaked carrier list reportedly mentions only the three newest existing Pixel Watches and not the first model.
