Last updated: November 27th, 2024 at 12:41 UTC+01:00

The Galaxy Watch 6 exited the One UI 6 Watch beta testing period more than a month ago, and now, we're seeing the stable firmware hitting the smartwatch in more markets.

Galaxy Watch 6 users in India are now getting the stable One UI 6 Watch update. Availability expands gradually, and Watch 6 users can look forward to a 1.85GB download.

The firmware version is identified as BXJ5 (last four characters), and the update includes the October 2024 security patch. Other notable changes and additions to One UI 6 Watch include:

  • A new font.
  • Double Pinch gesture.
  • Touch-sensitive AOD (Always On Display).
  • Quick Panel redesign.
  • Redesigned notification cards.
  • Improved scrolling. You can now flick the screen for faster scrolling of notifications and tiles.
  • Per-app notification settings are available directly on Watch.

Check out this other article for the full One UI 6 Watch changelog. And if you're ready to try to update your Watch 6, you can open the Settings app on the wearable, scroll all the way down, go to “Software update,” and tap “Download and install.”

These software features debuted with the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch Ultra earlier this year. They are now making their way to older Wear OS smartwatches, but the process is gradual.

The Galaxy Watch 6 has the highest priority, followed by the Watch 5 series. The latter also got the One UI 6 Watch update in select markets yesterday.
