Samsung Rolls Out 150MB-200MB Galaxy Watch Update in US for Watch 7, 8 and Ultra

Summary

  • Samsung has started pushing its latest Galaxy Watch update in the US to the Watch 7, Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic and Watch Ultra, with nationwide availability expected over the next few days.
  • The release delivers May 2026 security fixes plus stability and performance optimizations, and its relatively small 150MB-200MB size points to a maintenance update rather than new features.
  • Users can identify the firmware by build numbers ending in BZE1 on the Watch 7 series and Watch Ultra, and AZE1 on the Watch 8 lineup, though exact versions vary by model, size and carrier.
  • The US rollout follows launches last week in South Korea and later in Europe and India, signaling Samsung is extending the same update globally and may bring similar patches to older Galaxy Watch models next.
