Along with Google’s Pixel phones and a tablet, the company also started to roll out a new update for its smartwatches. The Google Pixel Watch 1, 2, and 3 are now getting the June 2025 update.

The June 2025 Pixel Watch update is based on Wear OS 5.1 and Android 15

This update follows the Wear OS 5.1 update, which started rolling out back in April. This update is based on Wear OS 5.1 and Android 15, and it’s marked s BW1A.250605.004. The update is coming to “all users, excluding cellular devices in Japan and Singapore, who will receive an update in the coming weeks.”

The Android security update level will go up to June 5, 2025, after you install this update. Following this update, the Google Wallet will allow you to use your transit passes (tap-to-pay) even if the app is not open.

Your Wear OS watch needs to be unlocked in order for tap-to-pay to work, of course. If you’d like to use this feature with your default credit or debit card, you’ll need to opt-in from your Wallet and Wear settings.

This feature will be automatically enabled for some regions

Furthermore, 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.

Google notes that the Google Home app will also let you set watch-specific device shortcuts in favorites. If you tap the ‘Your watch is up to date’ screen in Settings -> System -> System updates multiple times, the update should start.

It is also worth noting that the Pixel Watch has been kicked down to quarterly updates. That means that the next update will arrive in September.

With that being said, if you don’t want to wait for the update to land on its own, you can grab OTA update images from here. Make sure you know exactly what you’re doing before you proceed with the installation, though.
