I've never had a phone or tablet that would only update over Wi-Fi. Guess I'm not the norm it seems but I don't use the big companies that sends you extravagant bills in the mail. I used to pay Total Wireless $30 a month for like fifteen years until T-Mobile bought them out so I cancelled. Now since I got my disability approved, finally, I get my phone service for free thru SafeLink.

Thank you for reaching out, @Jimmy-818. I can certainly understand the importance of having our devices updated to the latest software. As many other members and ambassadors mentioned, the WearOS watches are unable to be updated on the mobile data.

Please Note: You can also update Wear OS models directly from the watch. It will still need to be paired to a compatible Android phone. Just open Settings and then swipe to and tap Software update once connected to a Wi-Fi network.
