Improved sleep management
One UI 5 Watch places greater emphasis on understanding sleep patterns, shaping healthy habits, and creating an optimized sleep environment for users' sleep, according to Samsung.
Galaxy watches in this version will now also provide various tips for getting a good night's sleep, such as avoiding caffeine six hours before bed and getting some morning sunlight, which were previously only available on Galaxy smartphones. The UI has also been improved to display the user's sleep score at the top of the screen.
Personalized fitness features
One UI 5 Watch also offers personalized fitness features based on the user’s heart rate level. Users can measure their cardiorespiratory fitness, which includes maximal oxygen uptake (VO10max) and personalized heart rate zones based on aerobic and anaerobic thresholds after two minutes of running. This feature allows users to choose the heart rate zone that best suits their goal and exercise.

Additionally, the Galaxy Watch has improved its GPS route guidance function to include running and walking, making it more convenient for users to exercise while checking their location.
Enhanced security features
One UI 5 Watch also has improved user safety features, including an emergency SOS function. If a user presses the Galaxy Watch five times in a row during an emergency situation, an emergency number such as 119 will be automatically called. In addition, the operating system provides a button on the Galaxy Watch screen for direct access to the user's medical information during a rescue call to an emergency number.
Release date
One UI 5 Watch will be trialed for Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 4 series users through a beta program in the US and South Korea via the Samsung Members app later this month. After the beta program is complete, Samsung will release the Galaxy Watch 6 with One UI 5 out of the box in the second half of the year.
