Samsung has expanded the One UI 9 beta program. The Wear OS 7-based One UI 9 Watch beta has been opened to the Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic; the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra were supported previously. One UI 9 Beta 2, approximately 660 MB in size, is also being rolled out for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra; the update includes bug fixes and new AI features. The Watch 6 versions are R93xXXU2ZZI1, R94xXXU2ZZI1, R95xXXU2ZZI1 and R96xXXU2ZZI1, depending on case size. The versions correspond to the 40 mm, 44 mm, 43 mm and 47 mm options, respectively. The beta is available in South Korea through registration in Samsung Members; stability and battery issues may occur. No schedule has been announced for other countries.
Why it matters
This expansion means that One UI 9 Watch can also be tested by users with different case options in the Galaxy Watch 6 series. However, the stability and battery issues mentioned for beta software make the decision to join the program important for those who want to continue using their devices without interruption on a daily basis. The second beta for the Galaxy S25 series is also relevant to users who want to try the new AI features in addition to the bug fixes; the scope and usage conditions of these features are not explained in the information provided. For now, access is limited to South Korea through registration in Samsung Members, while the application or rollout schedule for users in other countries remains uncertain.
