Samsung Rolls Out Galaxy Wearable App Redesign Ahead of July 23 Unpacked

3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 22

Summary

  • Samsung has begun pushing Galaxy Wearable version 2.2.70.26060861 just hours before Galaxy Unpacked, giving Galaxy Watch users an early look at One UI 9 Watch changes.
  • The redesign swaps the old all-black interface for a cleaner One UI-style layout with subtle gradients, floating cards and a simplified three-tab navigation system: Watch Faces, Home and Settings.
  • The new Home tab now shows the connected watch, battery status, estimated remaining life and shortcuts to notifications, Tiles, apps and the quick panel, replacing its more limited settings-gateway role.
  • Samsung also rebuilt the watch face browser to show full watch previews instead of flat thumbnails, a change timed to preview software expected alongside the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2.
