You can now download the March 2023 Pixel Watch update

Google announced the Pixel Watch March 2023 update yesterday, and you can now download and install it using the usual trick.

When Google announced the update on Monday, going to the Settings app > System and repeatedly tapping the System updates screen won’t pull and download the update. There were no reports of people receiving the update normally either.

As of 11am PT on Tuesday this trick is now working to start the download.

To speed up this process, make sure to disable Bluetooth (after the download has started) on your Pixel Watch to force a Wi-Fi connection. It takes a little longer to install than before, but this is a bigger update with various changes compared to the last three monthly releases.

Along with the changes announced by Google, the March update (RWDA.230114.008.R1) modifies the Settings app to remove empty space and bring different items/buttons closer together. This results in you seeing more items on each screen.

Meanwhile, we don’t yet get the ability to enable/disable Battery Saver in Quick Settings with just one tap.
