A UI 8 will be accompanied at some point by the update of the One UI 8 Watch to get the best Samsung watches, but it seems that waiting for that will be a little longer, it will arrive “later in the year,” says Samsung.
You can already get a clock UI 8 on your wrist, but only in a select number of models: the new Galaxy Watch 8 or Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, the renewed Galaxy Watch Ultra by 2025, or the Original Ultra Galaxy Watch Watch was launched in 2024.
As is the case with the phones and their software update, there is also a beta version available for watches, but at the time of writing, it is only available for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 series and only if it is in the United States origin or Samsung from South Korea.
A clock UI 8 brings with it a selection of useful updates, including new tools to monitor sleep and improve its executions, and antioxidant measurements. More improvements, including Gemini AI, could also be on their way.
