The Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic cellular (LTE) variants still haven’t received the One UI 8 Watch (Wear OS 6) update released by Samsung.
Samsung started rolling out the stable version of One UI 8 Watch (Wear OS 6) to eligible Galaxy Watch models in October 2025. The update first arrived for the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7, but by the time the company released it for the oldest Wear OS-based watches, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, it was December 2025, which was already quite late. Sadly, some Galaxy Watch4 series users still haven’t received the update.
Galaxy Watch 4 One UI 8 Update Arrives in Many Regions But Are You Still Waiting
While the One UI 8 Watch update for the Galaxy Watch4 series has reached many countries like the US, South Korea, India, and Europe, there’s a catch. In most of those regions, Samsung has only released the update for non-cellular (Bluetooth-only) variants. This means cellular (LTE) versions of the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic are still waiting for the One UI 8 Watch update in most countries.
Samsung has likely never been this late with a major Galaxy Watch software update. While there is no information at the moment about what is causing the delay, we hope the update for the cellular (LTE/4G) variants of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic arrives as soon as possible.
As you might know, this is the last major update for the Galaxy Watch4 and the Galaxy Watch4 Classic. One UI 8 Watch brings a ton of visual and functional upgrades, giving your Galaxy Watch a fresh breath of life—which you can check out here. If that’s making you think of getting a new smartwatch, you should take a look at the Galaxy Watch 8.
