Question 1

What happens when Pixel Watch reaches end of life?

Accepted Answer

When Pixel Watch reaches end of life, it stops receiving security patches, bug fixes, and new features. Currently, 1 Pixel Watch version is already EOL. The latest supported version is Pixel Watch 4, maintained until October 1, 2028. Running an EOL version exposes your systems to unpatched security vulnerabilities with no official fix available.

Question 2

Is Pixel Watch 4 still supported?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pixel Watch 4 is actively supported until October 1, 2028. It receives security patches and bug fixes. Check the version table above for the full list of supported Pixel Watch releases and their exact end-of-life dates.

Question 3

Is it safe to use Pixel Watch after end of life?

Accepted Answer

No. Running Pixel Watch after EOL is not safe for production systems. Once a version reaches end of life, newly discovered CVEs are published publicly but never patched — leaving your systems permanently exposed. The only safe path is upgrading to an actively supported Pixel Watch release.

Question 4

How to upgrade from Pixel Watch 1 to Pixel Watch 4.x?

Accepted Answer

To upgrade Pixel Watch from 1 to 4: (1) review the official migration guide for breaking changes, (2) test your application against the new version in a staging environment, (3) update dependencies that have version constraints, (4) run your full test suite, (5) deploy with a rollback plan. The earlier you start, the more time you have to resolve compatibility issues before EOL.

Question 5

When is the next Pixel Watch LTS version?

Accepted Answer

Not all Pixel Watch releases have a designated LTS status. Check the version table above — LTS releases are marked with an "LTS" badge. Refer to the official Pixel Watch release policy for information on upcoming long-term support versions.

Question 6

How long does Pixel Watch support each version?

Accepted Answer

On average, Pixel Watch supports each release for approximately 36 months (~3 years).  The exact EOL date for each version is listed in the table above.
