These older Galaxy Watches can now join the One UI 6 Watch beta

Samsung is gearing up for its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 10 in Paris, where the tech giant is expected to unveil the new Galaxy Watch 7 series. Alongside the new smartwatches, Samsung could also launch the next generation of its Wear OS implementation, the One UI 6 watch.

Earlier this month, Samsung launched the One UI 6 Watch beta program for Galaxy Watch 6 users in the US and South Korea. Now, Samsung has extended the beta program to older Galaxy Watch models, including the Watch 5 and 2021’s Watch 4.

As spotted by X (former Twitter user) @theonecid, the beta is now available for download on the Bluetooth variants of the Watch 4 and Watch 5 via the Samsung Members app. For now, we believe the beta version of older Galaxy Watches is also only available in the US and South Korea. Just a heads up: Special edition watches, with the exception of the Watch 5 Golf Edition, are not eligible for the beta.

One UI 6 Watch promises many new features, including UI changes, universal gestures, and improved health tracking. Earlier this week, Samsung also released One UI 6 Watch beta 2, which brings bug fixes and stability improvements.

In addition to the Watch 7 series, Samsung will also announce the Galaxy Ring and its next-generation foldable phones at the July event. If you’re excited about these upcoming gadgets, Samsung is offering a $50 credit for pre-reserving your purchase and potential savings of up to $1,500.
