Google Pixel Watch June 2025 Update Rolling Out

Following the last release in April that brought Wear OS 5.1 to all users, Google is releasing a June 2025 update to all Pixel Watch owners.

Based on Wear OS 5.1 and Android 15, BW1A.250605.004 (versus BP1A.250305.019.W8) is rolling out to the Pixel Watch 1, 2, and 3. This update is “for all users, excluding cellular devices in Japan and Singapore who will receive an update in the coming weeks.”

In terms of new features, Google Wallet allows you to use your transit passes (tap-to-pay) even if the app is not open. Additionally:

• Wear OS watch needs to be unlocked in order to tap without the Google Wallet app open.
• Support for using this feature with your default credit or debit card requires an opt-in from your Wallet on Wear settings. Learn more
• Support for using this feature is automatically enabled for municipal transit cards and is initially available only on transit systems in Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Toronto. Learn more.

The Google Home app will also let you set watch-specific device shortcuts in Favorites.

Tapping the “Your watch is up to date” screen (Settings > System > System updates) multiple times should initiate the download. To speed up the process, open Connectivity preferences and disable Bluetooth to force Wi-Fi.

Google has moved to quarterly Wear OS updates for the Pixel Watch, with the next scheduled update coming in September. However, we might get smaller patches to address bugs and other issues before that.
