Samsung is preparing to launch a new One UI 6 Watch, which is coming soon

Samsung is gearing up to release the One UI 6 Watch Beta update based on the new version of Wear OS. According to Samsung's website, the One UI 6 Watch Beta update is already being tested for the South Korean market, which hints at its imminent release.

Here's What We Know

Information about the beta test of the new firmware came from user @theordysm on the X platform. This update is expected to be based on Wear OS 5 and could be released in the next few weeks. Last year, Samsung released the One UI 5 Watch beta update in early June 2023. Therefore, the company is expected to release the One UI 6 Watch beta update for the respective Galaxy Watch in the first week of June 2024.

Wear OS 5, on which the One UI 6 Watch will be built, is based on Android 14. The new version of Wear OS improves battery life by optimising sleep processes. According to Google, smart watches with Wear OS 5 offer 20 per cent more battery life during a marathon.

In addition, the Watch Face Format, developed by Samsung, becomes the default format. This means that third-party watch faces can now also contribute to the smartwatch's longer battery life and new features.

In addition to Wear OS 5 features, Samsung can add its own features to the Galaxy Watch via One UI 6 Watch. The One UI 6 Watch update is likely to be available for the Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 6 series in the third quarter of this year. Also, the new Galaxy Watch 7 line of smartwatches is also likely to be announced with the new OS as well.
