Samsung starts rolling out One UI 6 to older Galaxy Watches | Infinium-tech

Samsung is bringing the One UI 6 update (based on Wear OS 5) to older watches, after showing off what the new OS can do with the new Galaxy Watch7 and Watch Ultra. The new version brings an updated UI, as well as new health tracking features like sleep apnea detection and new exercise modes to boot.

First things first, here are the watch models that are eligible for the upgrade. The rollout will start today with the Watch6 series and extend to older models.

The sleep apnea detection feature has received de novo authorization from the FDA. Additionally, sleep metrics are now tracked by AI algorithms that look at your activity, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rates during sleep. The watches will calculate energy scores based on sleep, activity, and more.

For exercise, you can enable Race Mode for running and cycling, allowing you to compare your current performance to past performance. You can also create a personalized workout routine.

The UI ranges from simple, minimalist watch faces like a simple digital watch face, to stats-rich watch faces like an info board. The AI ​​will also suggest replies to incoming messages to save typing/voice dictation.

When connected to a Galaxy smartphone, the watch will be able to answer calls, dismiss alarms, take photos, and more using the double pinch gesture.
