Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic now receiving One UI 8 Watch
The Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic were originally set for 4 years of OS updates – and considering that they launched in August 2021, this period is technically over. However, the pair of watches is now getting Samsung’s One UI 8 Watch, which is based on Wear OS 6.
Right now the update is rolling out to Wi-Fi watches in South Korea. The firmware version ends in “JYK4”. This is a pretty hefty download of over a gigabyte.
One UI 8 Watch arrives on the Galaxy Watch4 and Watch4 Classic
You might want to settle in for a wait as gradual rollouts take a while to reach all markets. If you have an LTE watch, then chances are that you will have to wait even longer.
Previously, Samsung released One UI 8 Watch for the Galaxy Watch FE, a 2024 model, which is based on the 40mm Watch4.
