Galaxy Watch8 Is Now Getting One UI 9 Watch Based on Wear OS 7

Google unveiled Wear OS 7 in May, then rolled it out to its Pixel Watches in June. Samsung has been working on its own One UI 9 Watch, based on Wear OS 7, and commenced a beta program for the Galaxy Watch8 in late August. Today, Samsung has finally started rolling out the final update to One UI 9 Watch based on Wear OS 7 to the Galaxy Watch8.

Rolling out from Korea

The rollout begins in Korea, where the update arrives over-the-air as version L320XXU2BZJ7, a roughly 2GB download. Hopefully no issues are found with the Korean rollout, and the update will spread to many more markets in the coming days, as is usually the case with Samsung updates. The update brings with it the October 5, 2026 security patch level too.

Older watches next

After the Watch8, Samsung should start rolling out this update to its older watches. We'll keep you posted.
