March 3 2026 Security Update

It took a couple of days, but it did finally arrive on my PW2. Now I'm interested in the "Phone left behind" feature. The settings for that haven't appeared in my watch app yet.

I installed it a couple of days ago on my PW2. The Phone Left Behind notification works well -- it activated when I stepped out into my back yard to do something with the phone still on the kitchen counter.
Excellent! Curious, did your watch notify you? Or did it just lock your phone?
 
It notified me, but my phone is set to lock anyway 30 seconds after timeout, so I couldn't tell about that.
Thanks...! I was mistaken a couple of days ago when I said my watch received the March update. It hasn't arrived for me yet. I do the usual tap multiple times while on Bluetooth or wifi, so I'm glad to know it's going to work when I do get the update...

I have the Pixel Watch 3 (Wi-Fi only) and Pixel 10 Pro both running March software and here's what I get ... Not sure why 🤷🏻‍♂️

Make sure the phone's Google Play System Update is up to date, and also the phone's Watch app. Also try rebooting the watch.
Play System says up to date but it's on February ... Watch app updated yesterday which made the options show (prior to that they weren't even showing). Rebooted and power cycled both watch and phone with no love.

Hmm, not sure why that's happening. It's a hassle, but one thing you could try would be to reset the watch and then reconnect it.
