A few days after One UI 8 Watch was released for the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 users worldwide, they began noticing problems with the watch that were rather serious. Those problems affect normal operation of the watch, and are severe enough that Samsung has started pulling the Galaxy Watch4 and the Watch5 update, starting from the Korean servers, as confirmed by this thread. Earlier, the update was identified as JYK4, which suggests that it was built on November.

An Indian user who updated their Galaxy Watch4 have reported issues with their smartwatch on Samsung Members after they’ve updated their watch to the One UI 8 Watch software, impairing the normal operation of the watch. More specifically, the sensors on the Galaxy Watch4 have begun malfunctioning after the update, such as the wrist detection sensor, which is crucial for any smartwatch. Alongside that, the BIA sensor and the ECG sensor were also not working properly, telling the user that their placement was incorrect. What makes it worse was that even after the reset, the watch still malfunctioned.

To make matters worse, some users reported that they’re not getting the One UI 8 Watch update on their Galaxy Watch4 smartwatches, despite being eligible for the update, and the LTE version users are still waiting for the update in countries like India, USA, and Korea.

Until Samsung pushes the revised version of the Galaxy Watch4 and the Watch5 update, if you haven’t updated your smartwatch, it’s recommended that you hold the update until a newer version is released. You can identify this newer version with either the JYL? build or the JZA? build.

Week 47 of 2025 was big for Galaxy Watch users!

In the forty-seventh week of 2025, it was a massive storm of updates in regards to the Wear OS-based Galaxy Watch series, including the latest Galaxy Watch8 series that was released with One UI 8.0 Watch this July, in addition to the shower of security updates for the flagship phones, including the Galaxy S25 series. We have witnessed this from the start of Week 47 for this year in Korea and in other regions, though the Korean rollout was more apparent.

Included in the updates done this week were updates that were related to the entire Galaxy Watch lineup, starting from the most intriguing ones. However, we’d like to highlight the biggest event that happened in the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program as the first item in this list.

Galaxy Watch6’s One UI 8 Watch Update

First of all, the Galaxy Watch6 series in Korea has started receiving the One UI 8 update across the entire region, and the beta program ended this Wednesday, which is November 19th. Shortly after the beta program was closed, the official rollout started for users who didn’t participate in the beta program, starting from the same home country.

One day before that, the Galaxy Watch6 Manager received the November 2025 update that brought redesigns that matched the aesthetics of One UI 8, the same design that is found in your Samsung phone running Android 16. When this update happened, we felt that the One UI 8 Watch stable rollout for this watch series would start very soon, and the stable rollout in Korea confirmed it.

However, users in other regions, such as the United States of America, still didn’t get the update yet, and the global rollout is expected to start within the next Wednesday, if we can count on the rhythm of smartwatch updates, which is usually seven days after the Korean rollout. This means that our best guess is that November 26th is expected to be the big day for the global Watch6 users.

One UI 8 Watch brings the design aesthetics of the phone version of One UI 8 to your wrist, allowing you to perform tasks more efficiently than before, complete with new features that make tracking your health more efficient. Additionally, it brings several new features that make your smartwatch easier to use.

One UI 8 Watch Beta 2 for the Watch5

In addition to the Galaxy Watch6 getting its stable update of One UI 8 Watch in Korea, the Galaxy Watch5 has received the second beta of One UI 8 Watch that fixes performance-related issues, along with the DST time fixes. The Galaxy Watch5 is an older smartwatch series than the later smartwatches, but it is still eligible for the One UI 8 Watch update, with the next version of One UI Watch, scheduled for next year, being the last generational upgrade, according to the promised four-year policy.

There is no release date for the stable version of the One UI 8 Watch software for the Galaxy Watch5 series, but if you see the Watch5 Manager update that is released to the stable channels, then you’ll know that the stable rollout will start very soon. Currently, there is no such update, so those who didn’t participate in the beta program will have to wait longer.

November 2025 update for later smartwatches

In addition to the older smartwatches getting their One UI 8 Watch updates that we’ve mentioned above, recent smartwatches have also obtained their November 2025 update that allowed them to utilize the November 2025 security patch level, including the Galaxy Watch8. Here is the list of smartwatches that obtained this update:

Galaxy Watch8
Galaxy Watch7 [KOO]

Next week will, hopefully, be bigger than this week, because the global rollout will commence soon.

Galaxy Watch5 One UI 8 Watch Beta Program didn’t start yet

It’s been months since Samsung had started the beta program for the One UI 8 Watch for the Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra on June 30th. Since then, the stable release had landed to the Galaxy Watch Ultra as the first smartwatch to get the update, on the same day that Galaxy Watch8 was supposed to be released. Since then, Galaxy Watch7 users had to wait until October 13th to get their stable update, while the Galaxy Watch6 users were waiting until September 24th to get their first beta update.

It has been reported that the Galaxy Watch5’s One UI 8 Watch beta versions were being spotted, starting from August. Since then, we’re seeing new versions flowing slowly, but we haven’t seen Samsung release the first beta of the Galaxy Watch5’s One UI 8 Watch update. So, what’s happening?

According to the latest firmware information, at the time of writing, we found that the three smartwatch models in the Galaxy Watch5 series are all currently at the following versions:

SM-R920: R920XXU1ZYJ5 [KOO]
SM-R910: R910XXU1ZYJ5 [KOO]
SM-R900: R900XXU1ZYJ5 [KOO]

Galaxy Watch5 LTE series with an active T-Mobile plan in the US will be able to join the beta program.

This will be the third upgrade for the Galaxy Watch5 series, out of the promised four generations of OS upgrades. You’ll be able to identify the stable release with build “DY??“.

We will let you know as soon as Samsung releases the One UI 8 Watch Beta for Galaxy Watch5. However, you’ll miss new features that are introduced in the Galaxy Watch8 smartwatch series.

As for the Galaxy Watch6, there is currently no information as to whether there will be the fourth beta or the stable release.

Smarter notification settings
It’s now easier to decide how to receive notifications from your phone on your watch.

If you choose Always show on both, notifications will always appear on both your phone and watch.

Upgrade your health

Personalized Apps screen
Featured apps now appear at the top of your Apps screen to give you quick access to the apps you need the most. Apps will be featured based on how often you use them and other usage patterns. You can also view your apps as a list with names instead of only icons.

Choose calendars to show on your watch

Galaxy Watch5 is a step closer to the stable One UI 8 Watch release!

Samsung has announced that the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program will be expanded according to the official newsroom entry. However, we have seen no beta program for both the Galaxy Watch6 and the Watch5 smartwatches, unlike what the article claimed:

Users based in Korea and the United States with Galaxy Watch models (Galaxy Watch5 series or later released Galaxy Watch series) are eligible to join the beta program.

This is bad news if you expect a beta program for the Galaxy Watch5, as the Watch6 follows the same pattern of not having the beta program, as we have exclusively reported. Fortunately, a new stable build for the Galaxy Watch5 has been spotted in the official testing servers!

For completeness, we have compiled a list of available firmware info below:

SM-R920: R920XXU1DYI4 [KOO, XAA]
SM-R910: R910XXU1DYI4 [KOO, XAA]
SM-R900: R900XXU1DYI4 [KOO, XAA]

Nothing has been announced so far. We’ll post further updates as the watch update is in progress.

EXCLUSIVE: Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 are not eligible for the One UI 8 Watch Beta

Samsung has planned to start the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program for the Galaxy smartwatches. Since then, we’ve seen only the Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra getting their One UI 8 Beta program in Korea and USA, with the latter ending its Beta program as soon as Galaxy Watch8 was released on July.

With many anticipation as to when Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 would at least get their Beta Program, we had expected this program to start for the 2023 and 2022 smartwatches. Unfortunately, we’ve not seen anything until now.

The good news is that Samsung is currently working on the stable version for both the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 as it looks like that they’ve skipped the beta program for the two smartwatches. We have information that Samsung will not open the Beta Program for the two smartwatches as they’re not eligible, as confirmed by the beta moderator. The following response to our inquiry confirms this:

Instead, just like Galaxy Watch4, they’ll get the stable update directly. This means that you will be able to experience the stable version directly when it releases, starting from the Galaxy Watch7 devices on October.

Are you ready for the One UI 8 Watch update?

More Galaxy smartwatches to get One UI 8 Watch soon

One UI 8 Watch was officially released to this year’s smartwatches introduced to us back in July 2025 in the Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Watch8 and the Watch Ultra have both been provided the One UI 8 Watch software to enable users to use the new features, including the redesigned UI elements (inspired by One UI 7), the Now Bar, and the revamped application listing.

Moreover, the Galaxy Watch7 is still in the beta program, which was released on June 30th, until now, with the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 still waiting for their official release, if not for the Beta Program to open.

Nevertheless, we are getting closer and closer to the official One UI 8 release for both the smartphones and the smartwatches, with new features being on the way to the older Galaxy devices when the gradual rollout starts. The Galaxy Watch7 and Watch6 smartwatches are expected to get their One UI 8 Watch update on October 1st according to Güncel Miyiz, but this date may not be the day.

Since the One UI 8 Watch Beta program started, we had the following Beta versions released for the Galaxy Watch7:

One UI 8 Watch Beta 1 (build ZYFE): June 30th, 2025
One UI 8 Watch Beta 2 (build ZYH2): August 12th, 2025
One UI 8 Watch Beta 3 (build ZYHA): August 26th, 2025
One UI 8 Watch Beta 4 (build ZYI2): September 5th, 2025
One UI 8 Watch Beta 5 (build ZYI4): September 12th, 2025

To recap, here are the new features that will make it to some of the older smartwatches, according to the changelogs:

One UI 8 Watch Beta 5 released for Galaxy Watch7!

Samsung has released the fifth beta of the One UI 8 Watch set to be released later this year. This beta version is applicable to Galaxy Watch7 users only, since the Ultra has already received the stable version back on July in preparation for the 2025 rebooted version launch.

The following changes were made in the ZYI4 version:

Improved the issue where exercise would end when medication reminders were triggered during a run.
Improved the issue where Healthstyle was displayed as blank.
Improved the issue where the watch would not turn on when the watch was in use.
Improved the issue where the wrist-waving (or Always On Display) would be forcibly disabled when exiting sleep mode.
Improved the issue where the current time would not be correct when the screen was scrolled during Always On Display operation.
Improved the issue where the timer map would not run.

The following firmware information is available:

SM-L300: L300XXU1ZYI4 [KOO, XAA]
SM-L310: L310XXU1ZYI4 [KOO, XAA]
SM-L305N: L305NKOU1ZYI4 [KOO, SKC, KTC, LUC]
SM-L315N: L315NKOU1ZYI4 [KOO, SKC, KTC, LUC]
SM-L305U: L305USQU1ZYI4 [TMB]
SM-L315U: L315USQU1ZYI4 [TMB]

Samsung still didn’t open the Beta Program for the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5, so users will still need to wait.

Galaxy Watch8 comes with the One UI 8 Watch, which Samsung is constantly working on through the beta program for older smartwatches, while the newest smartwatches are getting constant updates.

Samsung has recently released One UI 8 Watch to the original Galaxy Watch Ultra from 2024, which was the smartwatch that received the beta update. Surprisingly, Samsung has chosen the Beta 1 version to be released as the stable version, but there might be subtle differences regarding reliability.

Here are the changes that One UI 8 Watch brings: [taken from official docs]

Track your vascular load
Use your Galaxy Watch to measure your vascular load, which is the amount of stress on your blood vessels. First, take a baseline measurement, then you’ll be able to see when your vascular load gets higher or lower over time.

Check your antioxidant intake
The Antioxidant index (Labs) feature on your watch detects the level of carotenoids in your skin. Carotenoids are a type of antioxidant contained in fruits and vegetables that can help prevent physical aging.

Tailored to you

Find the perfect watch face
It’s now easier to find the watch face that’s right for you. Just choose a few keywords such as your preferred style, color, and information to show. The best matches will be suggested from our collection of more than 300 watch faces.

You can now choose which calendars to show in the Calendar app on your watch. You can show all of the same calendars that are on your phone or customize to show only the calendars you need.

To install the update on your Galaxy Watch Ultra, we recommend that you do it directly from the watch while being disconnected from your phone (Bluetooth off) if possible, because errors could occur during the copying process. Follow these steps:

Open the watch settings
Navigate to Software update
Press Download and install
You should see “One UI 8 Watch”
Press Download, and let it download from your Wi-Fi network
After download is complete, press Install.

Make sure that your watch is fully charged before you attempt to do the update. Never interrupt the update process in any way, or problems could manifest later. The update process may take 20 minutes, and the watch may be “stuck” on the Samsung logo after the first reboot, which indicates that it’s loading the update.
