Those who own either of the two Galaxy Watch models and live in the US or South Korea are the only once invited to participate in the One UI 8 Watch beta program for the time being.
According to the changelog posted by a Galaxy Watch user on reddit, One UI 8 Watch “makes it even easier to get things done and stay connected from your wrist.” Perusing the very long changelog, it’s pretty clear that One UI 8 Watch brings a lot of changes such as new gestures, new charging effects, smarter notification settings, and more advanced health features.

We expect more Galaxy Watch models to join the One UI 8 Watch beta since Samsung has already announced which models are eligible for this very important update.
There is some bad news too for those who own much older Galaxy Watch models. Samsung said that the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic will not qualify for the One UI 8 beta program, which suggests that these older smartwatches won’t get the update when it’s ready for primetime.
If you own one of the Galaxy Watch models listed above, you can sign up for the One UI 8 Watch beta via the Samsung Member app. A final version of One UI 8 Watch is probably months away, but if you want to check the update ahead of its release, that’s the way to do it.
