Samsung pulls One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 as users report issues
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 theJZA?build.#Android #GalaxyWatch4 #news #oneUi #OneUI8Watch #Samsung #SamsungGalaxyWatch4 #Tech #Technology #update #Watch4

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:
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.

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:
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?

The beta program for One UI 8 Watch, which was released to the Galaxy Watch8 and the 2025 reboot of the Watch Ultra, still didn’t start as of September 1st for the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 smartwatch series. The beta program targeted for the regular Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches is still running with the third beta on air, with build ZYHA.
Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 users who are eager to try out the One UI 8 Watch Beta have spent almost the whole summer vacation without the One UI 8 Beta Program, even if the Watch7 users got it as a beta. Beta builds for the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 were being spotted, but there are no signs of the beta program being open for those two smartwatches from 2023 and 2022.
Samsung said that they’d be working on the beta version during the remaining months of this year, with the final release being expected by the end of the year, according to their official newsroom article released on June 16th, 2025. More specifically, one of the footer notes suggested that “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.”
For the Wi-Fi Galaxy Watch6 and Watch5 smartwatches, here are the latest testing versions available in both the USA and in Korea:
- Galaxy Watch6
- R960XXU1ZYH6
- R950XXU1ZYH6
- R940XXU1ZYH6
- R930XXU1ZYH6
- Galaxy Watch5
- R920XXU1ZYH6
- R910XXU1ZYH6
- R900XXU1ZYH6
Samsung made sure that the beta program will definitely happen with those smartwatches as mentioned earlier in the official article, but there is still no clear date as to when they’ll release the beta program.
To close this article, here’s the recap of all One UI 8 Watch Beta versions released so far:
- Galaxy Watch Ultra
- One UI 8 Watch Beta 1 (build ZYFE): June 30th, 2025
- 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
We expect that Samsung release the beta program hopefully during this month, along with clear communication with the users of those smartwatches.

Samsung will expand One UI 8 Beta Program to more devices
Today, Samsung officially announced in their newsroom blog article that said that they were expanding the Beta Program to more devices starting August 11th, 2025. The beta program officially started on May 28th for the Galaxy S25 devices. Just like One UI 7 whose beta program was made initially available only for the Galaxy S24 devices before the official expansion on March, the company wanted to expand the Beta Program of the upcoming One UI 8 software based on Android 16.
As per the official announcement, the following devices in Korea, the USA, the UK, and India (excluding Poland and Germany) will experience the One UI 8 Beta Program in this date:
- Galaxy S24 / S24+ / S24 Ultra
- Galaxy Z Fold6 (excluding Z Fold Special Edition)
- Galaxy Z Flip6
The beta program will also extend to the Galaxy Watch6 and the Galaxy Watch5 smartwatches, which should happen later as they’ve announced it when they started the beta program for One UI 8 Watch.
Whereas the official version will be rolled out to all eligible Galaxy devices, starting from the Galaxy S25 series family, including the Galaxy S25 Edge, to older devices that will gradually get the update. This rollout will happen as the summer concludes itself, and September is the chosen month.
However, One UI 8 Watch will make its way to more smartwatches, including the Galaxy Watch4, later this year. Those who have already participated to the beta program should update to the official version once it’s out.

One UI 8 Watch Beta 2 will be released soon!
Looks like that we’ve seen some progress in the One UI 8 Watch Beta program for the Galaxy Watch7 series nearly two weeks after the Galaxy Watch Ultra has been updated! Today, we’ve spotted new Beta builds, corresponding to August builds, for the following Galaxy Watch7 smartwatch models (only the Beta eligible devices are listed):
- SM-L315N: L315NKOU1ZYH2 [KOO]
- SM-L315U: L315USQU1ZYH2 [TMB]
- SM-L305N: L305NKOU1ZYH2 [KOO]

- SM-L310: L310XXU1ZYH2 [XAA, KOO]
- SM-L300: L300XXU1ZYH2 [XAA, KOO]
The mystery has been solved, because Samsung has finally worked on the second Beta version of the One UI 8 Watch software for the Galaxy Watch7 series, which is a relief in itself. This was especially since there were no new beta builds for the entirety of July, which caused users to wonder if their Galaxy Watch7 smartwatches that joined the beta program would ever get an update.
Meanwhile, there are no new beta builds yet for either the Galaxy Watch6 or the Galaxy Watch5 smartwatches, but the above build mentioned should be a sign that the beta program for these smartwatches will start very soon.
One UI 8 Watch brings a design change to match the upcoming One UI 8 operating system for phones, while using the design aesthetics that come from One UI 7, which was released in April 17th.

One UI 8 Watch Features Revealed
One UI 8 Watch is in the works, and Samsung has officially revealed some of the One UI 8 Watch features that will make it to the latest of the smartwatches. According to Samsung, those features “help users build healthier habits.” Why? Because it take time to form lasting behavior patterns. Your Galaxy smartwatches will be more smarter with this update that adapts to the design language of One UI 7.
The following features will make it to the latest smartwatches:
- Bedtime Guidance (Android 11 or later, Samsung Health v6.30.2)
- Vascular Load (Galaxy Watch Ultra or later)
- Running Coach (Galaxy Watch7 or later)
- Antioxidant Index (Galaxy Watch Ultra or later)
Those features will be available to the limited amount of users through the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program, which will only be available in Korea and in the USA, later.
Bedtime guidance allows users to utilize such tool to optimize sleep based on the recommendations for the most optimal sleep according to the lifestyle and the sleep patterns. It also uses reminders to make users stay consistent in their sleep.
Vascular load meter measures the stress on the vascular system. The vascular system on your body is responsible for carrying blood through the entire body to deliver oxygen and other important nutrients and for getting rid of waste. Normally, when you sleep, stress on the vascular system gets reduced, but excessive fluctuations may negatively impact cardiovascular health. With this feature to land on the latest Galaxy Watch, you can receive insights into vascular load.
Running coach helps users train safely for running marathons through optimized intensity and injury-preventive routines. Due to over-pacing or under-training, many runners experience injuries during their running session. It offers real-time guidance during your run, along with the motivation, to create a personalized experience.
Finally, antioxidant index gives you an analytical data of how much balance of your antioxidant that you maintain. To support healthy aging and to prevent chronic illnesses, your Galaxy Watch will be able to measure your carotenoids in your skin.
