Samsung has just brought good news to users of smart wearable devices. In the latest announcement, the company confirmed that the Galaxy S25 series will start receiving the One UI 8 stable update next month. At the same time, Samsung also announced the official release date of One UI 8 Watch for eligible Galaxy Watch models.

Specifically, One UI 8 Watch will be deployed this year. Although there is no specific timeline, this confirmation also somewhat relieves the wait of the Galaxy smartwatch user community.

Based on previous information, the update will support Galaxy Watch 4 and above. However, the release schedule may vary between devices, and it is possible that the Galaxy Watch 4 will be among the last to receive the update.

Currently, One UI 8 Watch is pre-installed on the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and Watch Ultra 2025 trio. Notably, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2024 has received the update since last month, while the Galaxy Watch 7 has not been updated yet, making many users impatient.

If you want to experience One UI 8 Watch early without waiting for the official update, the new Galaxy Watch smartwatch models launched in 2025 are the optimal choice, with many valuable upgrades in interface, performance, and health support features.
