This long Wear OS 5 update delay feels like a sign of what's to come

Quick Summary:

This six-week Wear OS 5 delay on last-gen Pixel Watches isn't that long (yet), but Wear OS has a long history of painful waits for new features.

Mobvoi took until December 2023 to add Wear OS 3, then launched Wear OS 4 in September; its newest watches still don't have Google Assistant, even though we assumed the Wear OS 4 update would make it available.

Wear OS 5 is a subtle but significant improvement for Wear OS watches across brands, with the Pixel Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch 7 showcasing its strengths.
