Samsung refreshed its software updates page earlier this week, committing support for 11 Galaxy Watch models. Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic are the oldest to remain eligible for official security updates every quarter.

Unlike Galaxy phones, Samsung Galaxy Watch models get security updates once a quarter. It seems Samsung has extended the software support for its OG Galaxy Watch lineup by a year, offering up to five years of updates.

When launched, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Classic were promised to receive new updates for four years. Samsung surprised fans by confirming the availability of One UI 8 Watch; as promised, it rolled out the update as well.

After One UI 8 Watch, the Galaxy Watch 4, along with Watch 5 and Watch 6, have also received a newer security patch dated January 2026. The company may offer at least two more security updates through August this year.

If Galaxy Watch 4 exits this August, Galaxy Watch 5 may be ousted around the same time in 2027, and Watch 6 in 2028. The watches will remain as functional as before, just the security status will render vulerable.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro will likely receive another big OS upgrade this year. Five years is already decent, and no wonder that Samsung further stretches security updates for its wearable device users.

As of February 2026, Samsung has guaranteed quarterly security updates for 11 Galaxy Watch devices. Here is the complete list shared by Samsung:

1. Galaxy Watch8 40mm/44mm
2. Galaxy Watch8 Classic 46mm
3. Galaxy Watch Ultra
4. Galaxy Watch7 40mm/44mm
5. Galaxy Watch FE
6. Galaxy Watch6 40mm/44mm
7. Galaxy Watch6 Classic 43mm/47mm
8. Galaxy Watch5 40mm/44mm
9. Galaxy Watch5 Pro
10. Galaxy Watch4 40mm/44mm
11. Galaxy Watch4 Classic 42mm/46mm

Updating your Galaxy Watch software is as simple as updating your phone. Open Watch Settings on the Watch or Wearable app on your phone. Scroll and tap the Watch software updates, followed by Download and install.
