Key Points:
- A One UI 9 Watch beta firmware for the Galaxy Watch 8 has been discovered on Samsung's servers, indicating the beta program for existing smartwatches may launch soon.
- Samsung began testing One UI 9 Watch for the Galaxy Watch 8 series in July, but the public beta did not start before the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 releases, unlike last year's rollout.
- The Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 are already available with One UI 9 Watch based on Wear OS 7, and Samsung is expected to quickly bring the beta to older models.
- The One UI 9 Watch beta is likely to be available for at least the Galaxy Watch 6 series and possibly the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, following the precedent set by the One UI 8 Watch beta program.
- Beta firmware has also been spotted for the Galaxy Watch 7, further suggesting the beta program's imminent start.
