Overview
- Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic testers received a fifth One UI 8 Watch build with firmware ending in ZYK2 one week after the previous beta.
- The new build fixes an incorrect time display when daylight savings time is enabled and includes general performance improvements.
- The watch update cadence contrasts with Samsung’s rapid One UI 8 rollout for phones, with slower and uneven progress across smartwatch models.
- SamMobile notes the Galaxy Watch Ultra got the update immediately while models like the Watch 7 waited longer, suggesting selective prioritization.
- Beta access is limited to the U.S. and South Korea, and based on past practice the stable release typically follows within days of the beta program’s conclusion; users can check for updates in the Galaxy Wearable app.
