On Tuesday, Pixel Watch 1 owners encountered a Google Health error message about needing to update their wearable. Google has confirmed that this was a bug and that the original device remains supported
The following error message appeared for some Pixel Watch 1 owners in the Google Health app:
Update your watch to keep using Google Health

Google rolled out the last Pixel Watch 1 update in October 2025. This was Wear OS 5.1 based on Android 15 with a June 5, 2025 security patch.
During its lifetime, the wearable ran Wear OS 3.5 (Android 11), Wear OS 4 (Android 13), Wear OS 5 (Android 14), and Wear OS 5.1 (Android 15). The Pixel Watch was guaranteed three years of updates.
In a forum post this afternoon, Google said the “Pixel Watch 1 remains fully supported” and that there was a “bug where some users received this card incorrectly.”
