  1. Still waiting for a firmware update, ok.

    Google firmware update doesn’t work on ticwatch3, changed the language/region to the US, and still doesn’t work.

  2. You can manually start the update by simply connecting it to power and Wi-Fi, waiting 30 minutes and then clicking on System / System / About / System Updates.

    If it tells you you are up to date, wait another 30 minutes.
