TL;DR
  • After rolling out to users in Korea, the One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch 7 is coming to the US.
  • The update is based on Google’s latest Wear OS 6 platform.
  • Samsung is also testing a beta for the Galaxy Watch 6 and is expected to also release the update for the Watch 5 and Watch 4.

Earlier this week, Galaxy Watch 7 joined the list of watches running Google’s latest Wear OS 6 interface. It arrived with the stable One UI 8 Watch update, which, until yesterday, was limited to beta testers in Korea. Shortly after, however, Samsung also made the update available to a select set of users in the US, signalling the beginning of a broader release in the region.

Two simultaneous reports indicate that the One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch 7 is now live in the US. The first comes from Reddit user akaGustavo, who received the update on their 40mm Galaxy Watch 7 with LTE. A few others replied to the same thread, confirming the release. Meanwhile, Verizon has also officially confirmed the release for both the 40mm and 44mm variants of the Galaxy Watch 7.
