Samsung brings a handy update to its Tizen-based Galaxy Watch range
July 19, 2025
Samsung has just announced that the stable One UI 4 update isnow being pushed outto theGalaxy S21 series. But it also has a surprise for owners of Tizen-based Galaxy Watches, including the original Galaxy Watch.
The companyannounceda software update that brings a few health and personalization features to the Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active 2, and Galaxy Watch 3. Although it must be said that not all features are coming to the original watch.
For starters, more advanced fall detection functionality is coming to the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Galaxy Watch 3. More specifically, you’re able to now choose to increase the sensitivity for fall detection, even letting you detect a fall when you’re standing still. Either way, an SOS alert will be sent to pre-defined contacts.
Samsung is also bringing an updated Group Challenge feature to all of the watches:
Finally, the Korean manufacturer says it’s bringing 10 more watch faces to the table, with these first launching on the Galaxy Watch 4. It subsequently toldAndroid Authoritythat these faces will come to the Galaxy Watch, Watch Active, Watch Active 2, and Watch 3. You can check them out below.
We’re glad to see Tizen watches get some love from Samsung, and we hope the manufacturer continues to support its older watches with meaningful updates now that it’s embracedWear OS 3.0.
