Samsung has officially begun the rollout of One UI 6 Watch for the Galaxy Watch4, 5, 6, Galaxy Watch FE, and all subsequent Galaxy Watch models. This major update introduces a slew of new health features, exciting fitness enhancements, and a convenient pinch gesture for remote smartphone control.
A Gradual Rollout
After a brief delay, the eagerly awaited One UI 6 Watch is now available. The update will be gradually distributed to all compatible smartwatch users, starting with the Galaxy Watch6. It may take several days for the patch to reach all customers. The following Galaxy Watch models are eligible for the update:
- Samsung Galaxy Watch4 / Galaxy Watch4 Classic
- Samsung Galaxy Watch FE
- Samsung Galaxy Watch5 / Galaxy Watch5 Pro
- Samsung Galaxy Watch6 / Galaxy Watch6 Classic
Introducing the Energy Score
One of the most intriguing additions is the Energy Score. This metric, ranging from 0 to 100, provides users with an estimate of their current energy levels, taking into account data on sleep, heart rate, activity, and heart rate variability.
Enhanced Sleep Tracking
Sleep tracking has also been refined with new metrics, such as sleep latency, sleep movements, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Samsung’s sleep apnea detection feature is now available on older Galaxy Watch models, enabling users to identify one of the most common sleep disorders directly from their smartwatch.
Fitness Features
A new “Race” mode allows users to compare their performance in running or cycling workouts to previous training sessions. Workout routines enable users to combine multiple sports and create personalized training plans.
Additional Features
The update introduces new watch faces, some of which have already been made available to users of compatible Galaxy Watches in recent weeks. Similar to the Galaxy Watch7, older watches can now suggest AI-generated responses to incoming messages when paired with a Galaxy smartphone. A convenient pinch gesture allows users to trigger a Galaxy smartphone’s camera or answer calls.
