Samsung has begun rolling out the stable One UI 9 Watch update to the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The release reaches the 40mm and 44mm Galaxy Watch 8 as well as the 46mm Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, ending the wait for stable One UI 9 Watch for Galaxy Watch 8 users. The focus now shifts to Samsung’s next rollout wave for compatible Galaxy Watch models. The update includes the following firmware builds:

  • L505NKOU3BZJ7: Galaxy Watch 8 Classic 46mm
  • L325NKOU3BZJ7: Galaxy Watch 8 40mm
  • L335NKOU3BZJ7: Galaxy Watch 8 44mm

Clock interface adjustments and beta timing

Samsung might not make Galaxy users wait until December for One UI 9.5. Ice Universe suggests keeping an eye on the second half of November, noting that an early One UI 9.5 beta launch would be a nice surprise from Samsung this year. Samsung Clock in One UI 9.5 introduces several visual updates:

  • The top action bar adds a new icon next to the + add button in One UI 9.5, and similar to the World clock page, a vertical three-dot menu icon is added next to the + button.
  • A subtle dark outline map of Europe/regions is integrated into the background of One UI 9.5, which is absent in One UI 9.
  • The background gradient has a smoother, lighter-dark tone in One UI 9.5, and the bottom horizontal time-offset slider has minor visual padding and tick adjustments.
  • In One UI 9, the search icon and target/location icon are placed together at the top-right corner of the screen. In One UI 9.5, these icons are removed from the top and relocated to the bottom-right corner as floating circular buttons.

Tablet installation and Health tools

Galaxy Tab S10 FE and Galaxy Tab S10 FE+ users can check for the update by opening the Settings app on their tablets, going to Software update, and tapping Download and install. If the update is available for their device, follow the on-screen instructions to install it. Users in other regions may have to wait a few more days for the update to arrive.

Samsung Health introduces Mindful note and AI tools in One UI 9.5:

  • About yourself
  • Relationships
  • Work and goals
  • What if…?
