Samsung has begun pushing the One UI 5 Watch update based on Wear OS 4 for Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, which also makes Galaxy Watch 4 ahead of Pixel Watch in terms of Wear OS 4 updates.

This One UI 5 Watch update adds a series of new features to the old flagship Samsung smartwatch, including new watch faces and tiles. The new tiles include a new battery level tile that allows users to quickly check the remaining power of the watch. , there is also a Buds controller tile that allows users to turn on/off 360 audio, and a timer tile that allows users to quickly start a timer without opening a dedicated app.
In addition, updates to the Galaxy Watch 4 series also provide users with features such as personalized heart rate zones, irregular heart rhythm notifications, running tracking, advanced sleep guidance, automatic cycle exercise recording, and more.
The Galaxy Watch 4 series also adds the ability to control the volume and mute of incoming calls, and you can also use the keyboard during calls. These features are not available on the One UI 4 Watch.
Additionally, some underlying Wear OS 4 features are coming. For example, users can now pair their watch with a new phone without performing a full factory reset.
The update is approximately 1.7GB in size, so it’s best to download over a Wi-Fi network. If you don’t see the update yet, please be patient as it may be rolled out in stages.
