Overview
- Stable One UI 8 Watch based on Wear OS 6 is live for Galaxy Watch6 and Watch6 Classic in South Korea with firmware build CYK2.
- The update introduces the Now Bar for quicker multitasking, a redesigned app drawer, stacked multi‑widget tiles, new double‑pinch and wrist‑shake gestures, refreshed charging animation, and Samsung Health improvements.
- If no issues emerge, outlets report the release should expand to additional regions within days, and users can check via the Galaxy Wearable app under Watch settings > Watch software update > Download and install.

- Separately, Samsung pushed the November 2025 security update to Galaxy Watch7 in Korea (firmware BYK1, 164.59MB).
