Samsung is nearing the finish line of its extensive One UI 6 Watch rollout, bringing the latest wear OS 5 to all of its Wear OS smartwatches. The latest advancement sees the update becoming available for galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic users in Korea.
This move follows recent updates to the Galaxy Watch 6 series, Galaxy watch 5 series, and Galaxy Watch FE, all of which have been upgraded to Wear OS 5 in recent weeks.
“The update is rolling out in stages, starting with Korea, and will eventually reach users in the US and North America,” a Samsung spokesperson confirmed.
The One UI 6 Watch update promises a host of new features and improvements, including a redesigned user interface, enhanced performance, and new health and fitness tracking capabilities.
Samsung users around the world can expect to see the update arrive on their devices in the coming weeks and months.
Samsung is steadily rolling out its latest smartwatch software, One UI 6 Watch, to its lineup of wearable devices. The update, which brings a host of new features and improvements, is now available for the Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch 4 series in Korea.
This follows a pattern of staggered releases. One UI 6 Watch debuted alongside the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 in July. Last month, the Galaxy Watch 6 series received the update, and just yesterday, December 3rd, Samsung brought Wear OS 5 to the Galaxy Watch 5 series and the galaxy Watch FE.
With this latest rollout, all of Samsung’s Wear OS watches, from the original Galaxy Watch 4 to the budget-friendly Galaxy watch FE, are starting to get the One UI 6 Watch upgrade. As is typical, the Bluetooth models are receiving the update first in select regions. Over the coming weeks, LTE-equipped models will become eligible, and the rollout will expand to more regions.
North American users often find themselves towards the end of the line when it comes to one UI 6 Watch upgrades, so patience may be required.
Samsung has not yet announced a specific timeline for the wider rollout of One UI 6 Watch to Galaxy Watch 4 models in other regions, including North America.
Samsung is rolling out a significant software update, One UI 6 Watch, for its Galaxy Watch series, bringing a host of new features and improvements to older models. This update, which was initially exclusive to newer Galaxy Watch devices, is now making its way to the Galaxy Watch 4, extending its software lifespan.
A key focus of the One UI 6 Watch update is on health and fitness enhancements. Leveraging the combined power of Samsung Health and Galaxy AI, the update aims to empower users to better understand and improve their well-being. “Energy Score,” as a notable example, mirrors Garmin’s popular “Body Battery” feature, providing insights into the wearer’s energy levels. Similarly, “Sleep Analysis” offers a detailed breakdown of sleep patterns, helping users optimize their rest.
While Samsung initially pledged up to four years of software updates for the Galaxy Watch 4, it appears that this first-generation Wear OS smartwatch might potentially be approaching the end of its software support cycle. Wear OS 5.1, the latest update, is a minor iteration based on Android 15. This suggests that the chances of the Galaxy Watch 4 receiving the future Wear OS 6 update are slim.
Despite this, the Galaxy Watch 4 has enjoyed a commendable run with software upgrades, starting with Wear OS 3 and now supporting Wear OS 5.This is a notable achievement for a first-generation product in Samsung’s wear OS lineup.
“We’re committed to providing our users with the best possible experience,” saeid a Samsung spokesperson. “The One UI 6 Watch update is a testament to that commitment, bringing valuable new features and improvements to a wider range of Galaxy Watch users.”
