Owners of Samsung's Galaxy smartwatches are finally being rewarded for their patience. Samsung announced the rollout of the stable One UI 6 Watch update, which also brings Wear OS version 5, to eligible Galaxy Watches today.
The Galaxy Watch 6 series is the first to get the stable update and all the new features. The update is rolling out in Korea and should hit other countries in the coming days and weeks.
This isn't the first time Samsung has released the stable One UI 6 Watch and Wear OS 5 update for the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic. The stable update went live for One UI 6 Watch beta users a few weeks back, but it's only now that the proper worldwide release has kicked off this.
Other Galaxy watches eligible for One UI 6 Watch should also receive the update sometime this week, at least in some markets. One UI 6 Watch is coming to every Samsung smartwatch running Wear OS, including the Galaxy Watch FE.
It may take a few weeks before the update is available in every country. Compared to smartphones, Samsung releases major updates to its smartwatches at a more leisurely pace.
Once the update is available in your country, you will receive an automatic notification. You can also manually check for the update from the Galaxy Wearable app on the phone your watch is paired with.
