Google Pixel Watch owners are in for a treat with the latest software update rolling out this week. The April 2024 update (version TWD9.240405.001) brings not only the usual security fixes but also some exciting new features to enhance the functionality of both Pixel Watch models.

Key highlights of the update include:

– Vibration Watch: Now, the current time will play in haptics when you gesture on the watch face.
– Auto-brightness improvement: Experience a better auto-brightness settings screen that makes it easier to perceive the difference when switching levels.

Please note that Google software updates are typically rolled out in stages, so it may take some time for your Pixel Watch to receive the update notification. If you’re eager to get the latest features right away, you can try forcing the update by following these steps:

1. Ensure your watch is on the charger.
2. Go to Settings > System > System update.
3. If your watch claims it’s up-to-date, start tapping on the watch icon on the update screen repeatedly.

This simple trick often prompts the download of the update and allows you to enjoy all the new enhancements without waiting. Keep an eye out for that notification if you’re running Wear OS 4 – your Pixel Watch is about to get even better!
