TL;DR Samsung has begun rolling out the stable One UI 8 Watch update for yet another generation of Galaxy Watch.

The stable update is rolling out to Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 units in South Korea after Samsung recently concluded the beta testing.

The global release may follow soon.

Samsung has been quick to roll out the One UI 8 update to Galaxy phones across different segments, not just premium ones. Thankfully, that hasn’t affected the progress of the update for other devices, specifically the Galaxy Watch. In addition to the Galaxy Watch 8 series and the new Watch Ultra, which launched with One UI 8 Watch and is based on the latest Wear OS 6, Samsung has already updated last year’s Watch 7 and the Watch Ultra (32GB) to the newest firmware. Now, it’s time for the previous year’s Watch 6.
