As of today, users in Korea started seeing the One UI 6 Watch update become available for the Galaxy Watch 4 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1743613-EB-BR890ABY\">Galaxy Watch 4 Classic<\/a>, according to aposton Samsung\u2019s community forums. The update is currently available for only the Bluetooth models of theGalaxy Watch 4 series, and only in Korea \u2014 for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company launched One UI 6 Watch alongside theGalaxy Watch Ultraand Galaxy Watch 7, released in July. It made its way to the Galaxy Watch 6 series late last month. Just yesterday, Dec. 3,Samsung brought the Wear OS 5 upgrade to the Galaxy Watch 5 series and the Galaxy Watch FE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Samsung-1746260-EB-BR965ABY\">EB-BR965ABY Battery for Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic R965 47mm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means all of Samsung\u2019s Wear OS watches, from the oldest Galaxy Watch 4 to the cheapestGalaxy Watch FE, are beginning to get the boost to One UI 6 Watch. As is typically the case, Bluetooth models of the Galaxy Watch will receive the upgrade in a few regions to start. Then, over the coming days and weeks, LTE-equipped models will become eligible to upgrade, and it\u2019ll arrive in more regions. North American units are often towards the end of the line when it comes to receiving One UI 6 Watch upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/9LHF46EhLFdXuLW2sh2vj4-970-80.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(Image credit: Samsung)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A core part of the One UI 6 Watch update are health-related feature additions. Samsung is banking on the combination of Samsung Health and Galaxy AI, aiming to use it to help wearers improve their fitness and health. Energy Score is like Samsung\u2019s rendition of Garmin\u2019s Body Battery, and Sleep Analysis aims to let you know how well you slept. These features were exclusive to newer Galaxy Watch models at first, but are making their way to older ones now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung initially promised up to four years of software updates for the Galaxy Watch 4, which isn\u2019t much of a concrete guarantee. However, it appears that old smartwatch may be nearing the end of its software support.Wear OS 5.1looks like a minor update, based onAndroid 15, so the chances of the Galaxy Watch 4 making it to the eventual Wear OS 6 are slim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the first-generation of any product line typically receives poor software support, but that hasn\u2019t been the case with the Galaxy Watch 4 (which is a first-gen product in the sense that it was Samsung\u2019s first Wear OS watch). It\u2019s had a great run with software upgrades, starting with Wear OS 3 and now supporting Wear OS 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All of Samsung\u2019s Wear OS smartwatch models have now started receiving One UI 6 Watch in at least one region.
