Original smartwatches Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active start receiving new software update

Last week Samsung announced major system update for Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 3... As it turned out then the firmware was available only for the latest models, and now it has been released for the original watches.

What is known

The watch received 10 new dials, which were previously exclusive to the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. Users can customize them. For example, change the background, text color and animated elements. In addition to dials, the watch also received support for Group Challenge widgets and improved calorie reading. Also in the new system, the sensor, which is responsible for the automatic detection of workouts, has been optimized. This process will now be faster.
