Samsung first rolled out One UI 8 Watch to the Galaxy Watch 5 a week ago. Earlier this week, the update started reaching the Galaxy Watch 5 in more regions, for both Wi-Fi and LTE variants. Now, it's available in Europe.
The One UI 8 Watch update started landing on the Galaxy Watch 5 in Europe not long ago, carrying the October 2025 security patch and the DYK4 version number.
The update weighs 1.8GB, and the process is relatively slow. The Galaxy Watch 5 is no longer the fastest Samsung smartwatch, and One UI 8 Watch is a big update in both scope and size.
The update process may take more than 10 minutes, so make sure your Galaxy Watch 5 is charged to at least 50% before proceeding.
The wait should be well worth it. Some of the standout features in One UI 8 Watch include:

If you haven't received the One UI 8 Watch update on your Galaxy Watch 5 yet, you can try updating the Watch manually. To do this:
Open the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected phone > Watch Settings > Watch software update > Download and install.
And lastly, if you don't have a Watch 5 or you do but are considering an upgrade, check out Samsung's latest offers and our holiday guide for more gift ideas.
