Google Pauses Wear OS Update for Older Pixel Watches

Google's Pixel Watches is currently addressing issues with its Wear OS 5 update, which has been plagued by bugs. The company announced that it halted the over-the-air (OTA) update rollout on September 26th, following numerous reports from users, including my colleague Richard Lawler, indicating that their Pixel Watch 1 and 2 devices became stuck on a blank screen after attempting to install the update. The decision to pause the rollout comes after many users experienced significant functionality problems, rendering their devices unusable.

While Microsoft hasn't shared official numbers, new data from StatCounter shows that around 130 million Windows 10 users have upgraded to Windows 11 over the past year. However, nearly 900 million users are still sticking with Windows 10. Although the shift to Windows 11 is picking up, it's still much slower compared to previous OS transitions. Windows 11 is a unique update, largely due to its strict security hardware requirements, which prevent hundreds of millions of PCs from upgr...
