These Samsung Galaxy Watches won't be getting the new One UI update
Samsung has released the latest version of its wearable OS, One UI 9 Watch, and most of its watch lineup will get the update - except these.
Samsung has announced that some of its older Galaxy Watch models will not be receiving the new One UI 9 Watch operating system update. The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, released in 2021, are the only devices in the lineup that will not get the update. These devices have already received four major OS upgrades, including One UI Watch 4.5, One UI 5 Watch, One UI 6 Watch, and One UI 8 Watch.
The lack of the One UI 9 Watch update means these watches will not receive bug fixes, new features, or security updates, and their future app compatibility is uncertain. However, the update does bring some new features, such as a refined visual interface, an AI assistant, and health metrics like Daily Cardio Load and Heart Health Score.
Samsung will continue to support newer Galaxy Watch models, including the Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and up, with the One UI 9 Watch update by the end of 2026. Users with older Galaxy Watch models, such as the Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, are encouraged to upgrade to a newer device to take advantage of the latest OS upgrades.
