Samsung has started rolling out the stable One UI 9 Watch update based on Wear OS 7, beginning with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic in South Korea and the United States.
The new software arrives later in the year than previous versions did. Samsung previously released One UI 8 Watch in late July and October of last year. Despite the later start, the beta testing period was shorter than the four-month process used for older updates.
Following the initial launch in South Korea and the US, the update will reach more eligible devices soon. Expected models include the Galaxy Watch 7 and the original Galaxy Watch Ultra. The software will also come to the Galaxy Watch 6 series, Galaxy Watch 5 series, and the Galaxy Watch FE.
Samsung has not shared a complete schedule yet, so exact timing will likely depend on your specific model and region.
The update includes several new tools. The system brings interface improvements, easier watch face customization, and expanded health features. Other new additions include Daily Cardio Load, Vitals, and Heart Health Score.
