A major update was released today for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 (Classic). This brings several important improvements to the watch.
Galaxy Watch 6 update March 2024
After we reported in the fall of 2023 that Samsung does not update its latest Galaxy Watch models often enough, it only took a few days before a new update appeared on the Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic. But a swallow does not make a summer, and an update does not make an update policy. And lo and behold, once again Samsung actually took too long to bring a new security patch to the Watch 6 models. After all, the November patch is already four months old – while Samsung promises quarterly updates for its watches.
But hey, today is the day. And it is not just an update of over 280 MB that is now being rolled out. Firmware version XXU1AXB7 includes three major improvements for the watches. First of all, we note the March security patch, which replaces the November patch.
Second, the firmware of the Watch 6’s touchscreen is specifically updated. That doesn’t happen often – or at least it doesn’t happen often that Samsung mentions it separately.
And then there’s the Workout Trackerfunction, which allows you to display all your health statistics from your watch directly on your new Samsung television/smart monitor/projector/et cetera. To do this, you must use the same Samsung account on your watch and your television.
Availability and installation
At the time of writing, the update is available on all Bluetooth models in the Watch 6 series, but not yet on the 4G versions. As always, you can wait until the Galaxy Wearable The app itself reports that you can install an update for your watch. But you can also go to the Galaxy Watch 6 tab Galaxy Wearable go on Watch settings tap and then Update watch software.
Exactly this update is also expected soon on the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro. It is already being rolled out elsewhere – but not yet in the Netherlands and Belgium.
(Thanks, Marcel!)
