After opening the One UI 9 Watch Beta Program for the Galaxy Watch 7 and the Galaxy Watch Ultra last week, Samsung has surprised Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic users with the One UI 9 Watch beta update.

It isn’t clear what new features this update brings to the Galaxy Watch 6 and the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, but the update is based on Wear OS 7 and it brings a slightly more modern UI design language and deeper integration with Google’s Gemini.

As of now, this update is only available in South Korea, and it doesn’t look like Samsung has plans to expand it to other countries like Germany, India, Poland, the UK, and the US.
