Overview

  • The Galaxy Watch 7 is receiving the stable One UI 8 Watch build based on Wear OS 6, starting with beta participants in South Korea.
  • Beta users get a roughly 160 MB package (firmware L310XXU1BYI4/BYI4) while the full update for regular users is about 2 GB and includes the September 1, 2025 security patch.
  • Key additions include Antioxidant Index, Bedtime Guidance, Running Coach, and Vascular Load, along with the Now Bar, multi‑widget pages, extended double‑pinch gestures, a new charging animation, and an improved notifications view.
  • Samsung indicates the smartwatch update will expand to additional regions in the coming days, following its typical phased rollout approach.
  • Separately, Samsung has paused the One UI 8 phone rollout for the Galaxy S22 series, with users reporting the update was pulled from servers and no new timetable given; devices already updated cannot roll back.
