Galaxy Watch 8 series gets stable One UI 9 Watch update

TL;DR

Samsung has ended the One UI 9 Watch beta for the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic and started rolling out the stable update.

The stable release is first available in South Korea for both beta and non-beta units.

Other regions should get the update in the next few days, and users can check for it in Galaxy Wearable.

In August, Samsung opened the One UI 9 Watch (Wear OS 7) beta program for the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, the first set of smartwatches to which the brand offered it.

Now, almost two and a half months and six beta versions later, the company has ended the beta program and released the stable version of the new software for the two wearables.

As you might have expected, Samsung is rolling out the stable One UI 9 Watch for the Galaxy Watch 8 series first in its home country, South Korea. Currently, it is available for the units that were and weren’t enrolled in the beta program.

The update for the Galaxy Watch 8 40mm non-cellular units is 2,009.66MB in size and has firmware version L320XXU2BZJ7 (via Kailash). Going by Samsung's software rollout history, the brand should release it in other countries over the next few days.

You can check if Samsung has made the update available in your region and get it by opening the Galaxy Wearable app and going to Watch Settings > Watch Software update > Download and install.
