Samsung is finally rolling out the much-awaited One UI 9 Watch update to the Galaxy Watch 8 series. This marks the end of the beta testing, which began back in August. This Wear OS 7-based update is reportedly reaching both beta testers and regular users. However, it’s currently rolling out only in the company’s home soil, South Korea.
Samsung starts rolling out stable One UI 9 Watch update to Galaxy Watch 8 series
One UI 9 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch 8 (review) carries the firmware version L320XXU2BZJ7/L3200XM2BZJ7, as per the screenshots shared on the web. It has a download size of around 2GB for non-beta users (around 160MB for beta users). The same build is also rolling out to the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. The smartwatches are running the October 5, 2026, security patch.
Since the rollout just started, it might be a while before it reaches every unit. You can check for its availability by heading to the Galaxy Wearable app > Watch settings > Watch software update > Download and install. Though it’s currently only available in South Korea, it shouldn’t be much longer before Samsung expands it to more regions.
Available to both beta testers and regular users
While there’s no complete changelog for the stable release, One UI 9 Watch brings a redesigned interface, more watch face customization options, and more. It also brings expanded Samsung Health features, including cardio load tracking and sleep vitals monitoring. The previous beta versions also introduced improved workout controls, additional camera remote mode, and more flexible Trackback navigation options.
With the Galaxy Watch 8 receiving the update now, it’s only a matter of time before Samsung rolls out the One UI 9 Watch to previous models, like the Galaxy Watch 7, Watch 6 series, and others. We will update when the rollout officially begins.
