Samsung has announced exciting news for Galaxy Watch users – the upcoming release of the One UI 5 Watch update. The update will be available later this year for select Galaxy Watches, including the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5, both of which currently run on Wear OS 3.
One UI 5 Watch features
The One UI 5 Watch update promises to bring significant upgrades and new features, with a focus on enhancing three main aspects of the user experience: sleep, fitness, and safety. Samsung aims to help users get a better night’s rest through features such as Sleep Insights UI, Sleep Coaching, and better connectivity between Galaxy Watches and SmartThings-compatible devices.
Fitness enthusiasts can look forward to an improved personalized Heart Rate Zone that analyzes physical capabilities and offers tailored running tools, such as real-time running analysis and a customized interval training program. One UI 5 Watch also introduces an expanded Route Workout with the addition of running and walking activities and enables Watch 5 Pro users to access GPX Files through the Samsung Health app.
One UI 5 Watch also provides improved safety features, such as an updated SOS system that enables direct communication to an emergency phone number and relays information regarding the wearer’s location and medical information. Additionally, the update enables Fall Detection by default for users aged 55 or older, making Galaxy Watches a safer option for older adults.
Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 users will have the opportunity to beta test One UI 5 Watch through the Samsung Members app. The beta program will be available soon, though Samsung has not yet revealed where it will be available.
Overall, the One UI 5 Watch update promises to bring exciting new features and improvements to enhance the user experience for Galaxy Watch users.
In addition to the upcoming One UI 5 Watch update, Samsung recently collaborated with Pitaka to provide a premium carbon fiber band upgrade for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5. Meanwhile, rumors suggest that the tech giant is planning to increase the screen size of its upcoming Galaxy Watch 6.
