Don’t panic if your Pixel Watch 5 isn’t connecting yet — it will soon
The Pixel Watch app needs an update.
Don't panic if your Pixel Watch 5 isn't connecting yet, as it will soon, according to Google. The Pixel Watch 5 officially went on sale tomorrow, but some customers who pre-ordered have received their devices earlier than expected. However, some of these early adopters have encountered an issue whereby they are unable to pair their new wearables. The Pixel Watch app displays an error message, stating that the device is incompatible with the current version of the app.
Multiple users have reported similar problems on the Pixel Watch subreddit. One user, litalela, posted a screenshot of the app showing the error message. Other users commented on litalela's post, reporting that they are experiencing the same issue. Google has acknowledged the problem and stated that it will be resolved later today.
The company has released updates for the Pixel Watch and Google Health apps that should fix the compatibility issue. So, if you've got a Pixel Watch 5 and are experiencing difficulties connecting it to your device, don't worry, as Google is already working on a fix.
