Samsung has released the first software update for the Galaxy Watch 6 series of smartwatches in 2025.

Here's What We Know

The update for the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, which is rolling out in several countries, aims to fix bugs and improve stability. The R940XXU1BXL2 firmware version does not include the January 2025 security patch, nor the December or November 2024 patches. Instead, the devices remain with the October 2024 security patch.

The official changelog only mentions improved stability, but some Galaxy Watch 6 users are reporting a new design for the stress measurement tile, which now shows stress levels in words instead of just an indicator on a pie scale.
