Samsung is bringing a One UI 8.5-inspired software update screen redesign to Galaxy Watch users. Galaxy Wearable app is receiving a new update, which installs a redesigned interface, accessible for smartwatch users.

One UI 8.5 brings a gradient background behind the software label, which is now available for Samsung Watch users on One UI 8.0 Watch. The design system is newer, but Samsung brought it to One UI 8.0 Watch.

This UI tweak shows Samsung’s work of unifying the software design across its devices. UI visuals, inspired by the mobile screen, are provided to wearables. It’s a step beyond feature expansion from mobile to watch in sync.

The design change has been spotted in version 2.2.17.26020951, via LarrySWhite and Aptivi. The screenshots are derived from the app’s interface on mobile. You can also trigger it by performing a software update check.

Since it’s an app-level tweak, the appearance will depend on the OS version of your wearable. It would appear regardless of the phone model and its operating system.

One UI 8.0 Watch is the latest wearable operating system. It introduced major design changes to Galaxy Watch models. The new tile system is a significant shift in elevating the usability of the smart wrist-worn gadget.

One UI 8.5 Beta Program is underway, and the official version will go official next week. Existing Samsung devices should start receiving the new changes with updates by April this year, starting with the Galaxy S25 series.
