Wear OS 5 promises enhanced battery life and a new watch face format. It came after the latest OnePlus Watch’s lead with longer battery life. The new platform may also bring fruitful advancements to Samsung and Google’s eligible smartwatch models.
Samsung might launch the Galaxy Watch 7 in July this year. The upcoming smartwatches will most likely come with Wear OS 5-bases One UI 6 Watch pre-installed. New hardware-derived features are also expected alongside the rumored blood-sugar assessment feature.
Galaxy Watch’s Wear OS 5 Beta may be available in select countries including South Korea and the US. Last year, the company released around 8 Beta updates of One UI 5 Watch. We might soon get an official announcement regarding the Beta Program from Samsung.
