Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 6 Receive First Update of 2025

by | Jan 15, 2025 | Galaxy Watch, News, Updates

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 6 series smartwatches are getting their first update of 2025. While the update doesn’t include notable features or a new security patch, it likely focuses on bug fixes and system stability improvements. The rollout started recently and may take some time to reach all regions.

Samsung is rolling out new updates for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 6

The latest update for the Galaxy Watch 7 comes with firmware version AXL1 (the last four digits of the build number). It is currently available for Bluetooth versions in select markets. The official changelog mentions “stability and reliability” improvements with no additional changes. The security patch level remains on November 2024, which was first rolled out in late November.

It’s a similar story for the Galaxy Watch 6 series. Samsung is initially pushing the update to Bluetooth versions, rolling out the same changes. The 2023 smartwatch lineup gets its first update of 2025 with firmware version BXL2. The Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic remain on the October 2024 security patch they picked up with the One UI 6 Watch update in November last year.

Considering that Samsung isn’t upgrading the Galaxy Watch 7 and Watch 6 to a newer security patch, this update likely addresses important bugs causing performance issues on the watches. The company should roll out a new security update to the devices in the coming months. Unlike Galaxy phones, Galaxy watches do not receive regular security updates. Even the latest models skip a few releases once in a while.

Galaxy Watch 8 is on the way

Samsung has already started working on the Galaxy Watch 8. The new model should debut in the second half of 2025, likely alongside the seventh-gen foldables. It’s unclear if the company will also introduce a new Ultra watch. Last year’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is the first model in the lineup. More details should emerge in the coming months.
