Android Wear 1.3 OTA download links now available, here’s how to install them

The update to Android Wear pushed back in May bumped the base Android version to 5.1.1, but the most recent update — the one that packs all the nifty interactive watch face features — keeps the OS at 5.1.1 while bringing Android Wear to version 1.3. The update has slowly been rolling out to all Android Wear watches over the last week or so (none of them are too dated for updates quite yet, thankfully), and OTA download links are starting to trickle in. Find them (via Android Police) below the fold…

We’ll be sure to keep this list updated as more OTA download links become available, but if you already have your hands on the OTA file that you need, be sure to check out our guides on how to install ADB tools and how to update Android manually using the above OTA downloads. Accessing recovery mode will vary by Android Wear device (and won’t be possible on all, as a USB connection is required).
