It's worth noting that these features are part of the March 2025 update, and users are still awaiting more details about the specific changes that Wear OS 5.1 based on Android 15 will bring for Pixel Watch users. Currently, the update is being distributed first to the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi versions of the Pixel Watch 2 and Watch 3, with original Pixel Watch and LTE users likely facing a delay of a few days.
