Google is working on a fix for those annoying Pixel Watch permissions errors

TL;DR Pixel Watch users have been experiencing a frustrating glitch where their wearables don’t seem able to access sensor data for health reporting. Users have tried changing app permissions, and even factory resetting devices, to no avail. Google says that it’s aware of the issue, and currently working on a fix.

A modern smartwatch is capable of nearly as much as our phones themselves, but a whole lot of us probably use them for just two main purposes: checking notifications, and tracking health data. That’s just going to make us feel all the more frustrated when one of these basic operations stops functioning properly. Earlier this week, we shared with you a problem Pixel Watch owners were having with sensor permissions , preventing them from logging health metrics.

Today we finally have an update on the situation.
