9to5Google • • general
Key Points:
- Google has released factory and OTA images for the Pixel Watch 5, featuring a single unified build (CD5A.260611.00) for the device, codenamed “goteria.”
- The Pixel Watch 5 runs Wear OS 7, which is based on Android 17, rolled out in June, with the next update expected in September during the Q3 Pixel Drop.
- Unlike previous models that had separate builds for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and LTE versions, this unified build may streamline Google's internal build process.
- Flashing factory images on the Pixel Watch 5 still requires a debug adapter distributed by Google via invitation, similar to previous Pixel Watch models.
- The codename “goteria” likely follows a pattern of portmanteaus, with a previous leak referencing a “godric” codename.
