Galaxy Watch6 receives a new update

After Samsung rolled out the stability update to the Galaxy Watch7 series, Samsung has started rolling out a new software update that is rather massive to the Galaxy Watch6 series, starting from Korea. The flagship watches will be updated to the following versions:

  • Galaxy Watch6 40mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R930/R935x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 44mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R940/R945x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 Classic 40mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R950/R955x): BYD1
  • Galaxy Watch6 Classic 44mm (BT and Cellular, SM-R960/R965x): BYD1

You can now update your smartwatch, but if you still didn’t receive any update, you’ll have to wait for a few days as this rollout is a gradual rollout that starts from Korea. You can periodically check for updates to see if this update has reached your device. We recommend that you update your watch manager in your phone to ensure compatibility with the latest software.

To update your watch, follow these steps:

  • With your phone
    1. Open Galaxy Wearable
    2. Select your watch
    3. Open Watch settings
    4. Navigate to Software Update
    5. Tap Download and Install
    6. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
    7. Wait until the update gets downloaded and copied to your watch, then press Install
  • With your watch
    1. Open Settings
    2. Navigate to Software update
    3. Tap Download and Install
    4. Wait until the update shows up, then press Download
    5. Wait until it gets downloaded to your watch, then press Install

In an event that something went wrong with copying the update, disconnect your phone from your watch by turning Bluetooth off or by disconnecting it through Galaxy Wearable, then try again from your watch. Make sure to turn Wi-Fi on in your watch to download the update faster.

Make sure that both your phone and your watch are charged before performing the update, and that your internet connection is stable. Never interrupt the update process, or there could be problems later. The update process may take a few minutes to finish, and if it appears to be stuck, just wait for more minutes.

So, when these Apple devices die (or rather, when the updates have slowed them down enough, and the battery has depleted to the point of not getting through the day - which should be next year or the year after, if the pattern holds)… my next devices will be some of the following, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of getting them to work… any recommendations?

Phone options:
- Pine Phone
- Fair Phone
- Murena
- Librem
- Pro 1x
- Volla Phone
- SageTea XFone

Watches:
- Any of these with AsteroidOS: wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/
- PineTime
- ZSwatch:
github.com/ZSWatch/ZSWatch

Any suggestions or advice?

@jonathan_worth @doctorow I want a #SmartWatch with an open OS - which doesn't seem to be a key focus here. They only talk about an "open ecosystem for developers", but don't provide any further details, whether this refers just to the SDK or whether this addresses the whole software stack (firmware, OS, apps,...).

Being able to use a device, even after its vendor gave up on it - that's IMHO a key aspect of more #sustainability when it comes to electronic devices.

Galaxy Watch7 and Watch6 Manager Update (April 2025)

Today, Samsung has rolled out the Galaxy Watch7 Manager and the Galaxy Watch6 Manager update globally as they’re working on an update for both smartwatches. You can now download the update through Galaxy Wearable > Devices > Menu > Settings > About. If there is an update available for your device, you should see the update button as below:

The download size for this update is 155 MB, depending on the smartwatch model. Once the update is downloaded, you’ll be able to experience the new version of the Galaxy Wearable app and its manager plugins for your watch. This is done to improve reliability and performance, ensuring that you will be able to interact with your smartwatch more efficiently.

After the update, the following versions will be used:

  • Galaxy Wearable: 2.2.61.24112961
  • Galaxy Watch6 Manager: 2.2.13.25033151
  • Galaxy Watch7 Manager: 2.2.15.25010651

This update is necessary to align with the One UI 7 design elements.
