- The Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic are the first smartwatches to ship with stable Wear OS 6.
- Samsung’s new wearables run One UI 8 Watch based on Google’s latest platform.
- It’s unclear if all Wear OS 6 features, like dynamic color theming, are included on Samsung’s version.
Samsung has one-upped Google by being the first to roll out the stable version of Wear OS 6. The newly launched Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic are the first smartwatches to come with the latest version of Google’s wearable platform right out of the box.
While Google recently launched the first developer preview of Wear OS 6, the final version has yet to arrive on Pixel Watches. Google previously said this would happen in the “coming months,” but we still don’t have a clear answer for when Pixel Watch owners will get the new stable software. Meanwhile, Samsung is skipping the wait with its new Galaxy Watch 8 lineup, which runs One UI 8 Watch based on Wear OS 6.
