Samsung has started rolling out the highly anticipated One UI 5 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch 5, with previous generation watches set to receive the update soon. With One UI 5 Watch, based on Wear OS 4, Samsung aims to take the Galaxy Watch’s user experience to new heights.
The introduction of Wear OS 4 in the Galaxy Watch 6 series played a significant role in its success. And now, Samsung is extending this foundational software to the Galaxy Watch 5 and selected previous-generation watches. This means that users will soon be able to enjoy the benefits of the updated operating system on their devices. Below, we’ll go into details on what the One UI 5 Watch update is all about.
Basic Features of the One UI 5 Watch Update
One of the standout features of One UI 5 Watch is Samsung’s Sleep Coaching. Building on their previous sleep tracking capabilities, Sleep Coaching provides users with contextual advice based on their sleep patterns and habits. After tracking enough sleep, users will be assigned a “sleep animal” to visualize their sleep patterns and receive daily tasks aimed at improving the quality of their rest.
Another notable enhancement in One UI 5 is the expansion of cardio exercises with the introduction of “heart rate zones.” This feature evaluates users’ workout intensity and determines their heart rate zones based on their cardiovascular system’s response during exercise. This information helps users track their progress and achieve their fitness goals during activities like running or jogging.
In addition to these improvements, the Galaxy Watch 5 will also receive new watch faces as part of the One UI 5 update. These watch faces were originally introduced with the Watch 6 series and will now be available to users of the Watch 5 and Watch 4. Samsung has also mentioned that some of these new watch faces will be available for the Watch 3 and Active 2 in the fall.
While One UI 5 Watch is not a complete overhaul of the user interface, it does bring significant enhancements to Samsung’s health suite and design. The rollout of One UI 5 Watch has begun for the Galaxy Watch 5, and users of the Watch 4 series can expect to receive the update shortly. Samsung has not provided a specific timeline for the Watch 4 series update.
