Google says it has identified the fast battery drain hitting Pixel Watch owners and is working on a fix, though it has not said when it will arrive.
Google says it has identified the problem behind fast battery drain on the Pixel Watch and is working on a fix. Reports cover the Pixel Watch 2, 3, 4 and 5. Google has not said when the fix will arrive, so owners with a draining watch have to wait.
Google posted on Reddit that it has "identified" the problem. It described the issue as "affecting a small number of Pixel Watch users" and said a fix will come "as soon as possible." Android Authority picked up the post, and Android Police followed. Android Police had reported on the watch problems a day earlier.
Battery life matters most on a watch, because many people wear one all day and count on it. The reports stood out because they span four generations of the watch. Android Police reasons that the share of affected users is probably small, but the real number is not known.
The fix should come as a software update, so keeping the watch updated is the practical step. Until then, Android Police says owners seeing poor battery life on a Pixel Watch 2, 3, 4 or 5 will need to be patient.
If your Pixel Watch battery drains fast, Google is working on a fix, so keep the watch updated and watch for an update.
