Samsung recently announced the first-ever public beta program for its Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic smartwatch ranges, and today the first beta build has been released to those who have registered their wearables. This is called One UI Watch 4.5, based on Wear OS 3.5 (since 3.2). Beta membership may only be available in South Korea and the United States.

If you want to participate, you need to log into the Samsung Members app on a Samsung phone connected to the watch and log into the same Samsung account on the phone and the watch. So, if you are in an eligible region, you will see a banner within the Members app, advertising the beta program to you. From there it’s as easy as signing up and waiting to be admitted. Once logged in, you will receive the first beta build as a software update for your watch.

There may or may not be more beta builds sooner, it’s all a mystery at this point, but what’s clear is that, in the near future, your Galaxy Watch4 or Watch4 Classic will receive some new and improved features.
