Well after its initial announcement, Samsung has finally released the first One UI 8 Watch beta, based on Wear OS 6, for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra.
Available now in the US and Korea, the first One UI 8 Watch beta is a nearly 2GB update available for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. Samsung notes that only the Bluetooth and T-Mobile LTE models can participate in the beta for now.
What’s new in this update?
Besides a host of health features that Samsung previously announced, you can expect some UI changes throughout the update. Samsung directly says that the Now Bar is expanding to Galaxy Watch alongside “custom tiles” and “watch face customizations.”
Samsung’s changelog says:
One UI 8 Watch makes it even easier to get things done and stay connected from your wrist. New Samsung Health features give you more tools to manage your physical and mental wellness. You also get more ways to personalize with watch face suggestions, custom tiles, and the Now bar.
You can sign up for the One UI 8 Watch beta if you have a compatible Galaxy Watch through the Samsung Members app.
One UI 8 Watch will be the launchpad for Wear OS 6, and is expected to be available out of the box on the Galaxy Watch 8 series.
