Google is rolling out the latest Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 update with the April 2024 security patch today. It notably arrived before the phone updates.
The Pixel Watch is now on the “April 5, 2024” security patch level. Based on Wear OS 4, TWD9.240405.001 is the build number for all four models.
Update: The Pixel Watch April 2024 changelog touts “new features, numerous bug fixes, and performance updates.”
Vibration Watch
- Current time plays in haptics when the user gestures on the watch face
Auto-brightness improvement:
- Provide improved experience in auto-brightness settings screen for user to easily perceive the difference when switching levels
To access, open Settings > Vibration > “Vibration watch.” It lets you tap your watch face with two fingers for the current time as a series of vibrations. A single tap gives you the hour, while you double-tap for the minutes. There are two Vibration types:
- Digits: Your watch gives a long vibration for 10 and a short vibration for one
- Terse: Round current time to the nearest quarter hour. Your watch gives a short vibration for each 15-minute increment
Your Vibration speed options are: Very slow, Slow, Medium (default), Fast, and Very fast.
If you’ve been having an issue with the Fitbit “Main goal” Tile displaying the word “Steps” on two lines with smaller font sizes, be sure to update ProtoLayout Renderer.
Tapping the “Your watch is up to date” screen (Settings > System > System updates) multiple times initiates the download this afternoon. To speed up the process, open Connectivity preferences and disable Bluetooth to force Wi-Fi. The OTA images can be found here.
