Alongside Android 17, Google is rolling out Wear OS 7 to the Pixel Watch today.
Your smartwatch is truly an indispensable all-day wearable. More than half of Wear OS users wear their watch seven days a week — and the most active wear it over 23 hours each day.*
*Data for Wear OS 6 device from Aug. 2025 – April. 2026. Most active users are the top 10% of all Wear OS 6 users by wear time.
Wear OS 7 features “deep, system-level power optimizations” that result in up to 10% improvement in battery life compared to Wear OS 6.
Live Updates are now supported on Wear OS. They let you track ongoing events like sports scores, workout progress, and deliveries. You will see a persistent icon at the bottom of your watch face and a card at the top of the notifications feed. Tapping provides the real-time status and other details that appear on phones.
