Samsung starts rolling out stable One UI 9 with Wear OS 7 to Galaxy Watch 8 series
The Galaxy Watch 8 series gets its first major OS upgrade.
Samsung has initiated the rollout of stable One UI 9 Watch software to the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic series in South Korea, reports indicate. This Wear OS 7-based update, which has been in beta testing for nearly two and a half months, is now reaching non-beta users, concluding the testing phase that commenced in August.
The update incorporates the October 2026 security patch, with a broader rollout anticipated. While the Galaxy Watch 9 and Watch Ultra 2 were pre-loaded with One UI 9 Watch, Samsung is now extending this latest smartwatch operating system to older hardware, beginning with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic. These two watches were the first to receive a stable over-the-air upgrade to the Wear OS 7-based software.
