Samsung is reportedly preparing to launch the One UI 9 Watch beta program, with the Galaxy Watch 8 lineup expected to be the first to receive it.
The rollout is anticipated to begin in Korea and the US, before expanding to additional compatible models. One UI 9 Watch is said to emphasize deeper integration of Galaxy AI, alongside enhanced health tracking features that include predictive health reporting powered by artificial intelligence.
Samsung may also optimize its BioActive sensor to enable new health metrics. The timing of this beta follows last year's pattern: the One UI 8 Watch beta testing began in June, with a stable release taking roughly half a year to reach devices.
The stable version of One UI 9 Watch is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
