Summary
Google posted factory and OTA images for the Pixel Watch 5, using a single build—CD5A.260611.00—for the new smartwatch codenamed “goteria.”
That marks a break from prior Pixel Watch releases, which typically shipped separate software builds for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and LTE models; the unified image could simplify Google’s internal build process.
Wear OS 7 on the watch is based on Android 17, which Google already rolled out to existing devices in June, though it is still unclear which Watch 5 features will reach older models.
The next expected software milestone is September’s Q3 Pixel Drop, while manual factory-image flashing still requires a Google-issued debug adapter available only by invitation.
