Last month, Samsung announced it will bring Galaxy AI features to Galaxy Watches with the One UI 6 Watch update. Along with the announcement, the company also mentioned that the beta will start in June and listed which devices are eligible.
As promised, the company has released the first beta of the One UI 6 Watch in the second week of June. If you don’t know, the One UI 6 Watch is based on Wear OS 5.
In our One UI 6 Watch eligible devices article, we mentioned the regions where the beta will be available. As expected, the beta program is now live in the USA and South Korea. Additionally, it seems like Galaxy Watch 6 series owners are getting the beta first.
All Wear OS-powered watches from Samsung are eligible for One UI 6 Watch. This includes the Galaxy Watch 4 Series, Galaxy Watch 5 Series, and Galaxy Watch 6 Series. So if you own one of these smartwatches and are interested in testing the One UI 6 Watch before its public release, you can check this guide.
Note: Beta updates can sometimes include major bugs, and may even cause your Watch to go into a boot loop. In that case, you can hard reset your device.

First, make sure to take a backup of your Galaxy Watch. It is mandatory because if you need to reset your Watch you will have a backup to get your data back.
