Samsung has released a new One UI 8 Watch beta update for the Galaxy Watch 7. This could be the final beta update before the company rolls out the stable Wear OS 6-based update to compatible Galaxy Watches. But what is new with the new beta update? Let us find out.
The fourth One UI 8 Watch beta update is now available (via @tarunvats33) for the Galaxy Watch 7 in South Korea. It comes with firmware version L310XXU1ZYI2 and has a download size of around 180MB. It includes the September 2025 security patch as well to make the smartwatch more secure against software loopholes.
The official changelog mentions that the update brings major improvements to workout tracking, such as running and swimming. This is a continuation to health and fitness tracking Samsung introduced with the third beta update last week. You can see the changelog in the screenshot below.
Samsung could expand the availability of this beta update in more eligible countries in the next few days (or maybe even today).
If you have a Galaxy Watch 7 and live in South Korea, and if you have enrolled your smartwatch in the One UI 8 Watch Beta Program, you can check for the new update on your device by opening the Wearable app on your paired Android phone and navigating to Watch settings » Watch software update » Download and install. Once the update is download, tap the Install now button.
