Samsung ends One UI 8 Watch Beta Program for Galaxy Watch 6 - SamMobile
Samsung has officially ended the One UI 8 Watch beta program for the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic in South Korea, signaling that the stable version of the update is likely imminent. According to SamMobile, the fifth and final beta build was recently released, and users enrolled in the test now have the chance to install the stable software. The update introduces a refreshed UI with a “Now Bar,” redesigned app drawer, improved widgets, and a new charging animation. One UI 8 also brings more intuitive gestures — such as double-pinch and wrist-shake — plus enhanced notifications, a stacked notification layout, and new Samsung Health features like Bedtime Guidance and Running Coach. While the rollout starts in Korea, users elsewhere may receive the stable build soon, depending on regional availability.
