Last month, Samsung ended the One UI 6 Watch Beta Program for the Galaxy Watch 6 and released the stable update for beta testers. So, many users thought the stable update could be released within a matter of days.
However, it appears that Samsung has now released another beta update for the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 5.
