Samsung Skips One UI 7 Watch, Leaps to One UI 8 for Next Galaxy Wear OS Update

Samsung is reportedly planning to skip the 'One UI 7 Watch' update for its next Galaxy Watch release, opting instead for 'One UI 8 Watch.' This naming decision aligns with Samsung's Android 16 update timeline. Sources indicate that One UI 8 Watch will introduce more colorful elements to match the aesthetic of One UI 7 and future One UI 8 updates on Galaxy phones. The update is expected to debut alongside new foldable devices, which will also coincide with the release of One UI 8. Additionally, it is said to be based on Android 16 for Wear OS, following Google's recent rollout of Wear OS 5.1 and the anticipated launch of Wear OS 6.
