Pixel Watches are now receiving the April security patch with a new feature and a significant improvement. YourPixel Watchwill now be able to more accurately adjust its display brightness depending on the conditions, while the new feature adds the ability to check, but rather feel the time.
The releaseannouncementreads “Current time plays in haptics when the user gestures on the watch face.” But how exactly does that work and what gesture are we talking about?
How To Make Your Pixel Watch Tell Time With Haptics
To tell the time with haptics, you need to tap your Pixel Watch’s watch face with two fingers. This will only work if your Watch is updated to the latest version. Here’s how you can enable time haptics on your Pixel Watch.
Note:“Digits” will give you the time in decimal format – where a long vibration means 10 and a short one means 1. “Terse”, on the other hand, gives you the minutes briefly where each short vibration means a quarter-hour.
The other notable feature rather improvement that Google is rolling out to the Pixel Watch is accuracyimprovements to auto-brightness.
The April update is now rolling out to both Pixel Watches and it comes in the form of versionTWD9.240405.001. If you haven’t received the update, put your Pixel Watch on charge, and go toSettings>System>System updates. The watch will check for available updates and will reboot after a successful installation.
