Got WearOS 6 on my Ultra today

Still no Watch Face Studio version to take advantage, or even learn how to take advantage.

Why is Samsung dragging its feet on this?

I’ve just checked, I still have OS5 (no option to update at the moment).

I’m interested: can you use new health measurements: vascular load and antioxidant index?
Do they work on Ultra after updating to OS6?

Now is fantastic time to buy watch ultra 2024. The only difference between 2024 and 2025 models is 32GB vs 64 GB of memory and the price for 2024 model is really great.

I got it as well, all good…will test battery life. I only have problem with the patched version of SHM ( samsung health monitor ) the app on the watch keeps crashing. Maybe still no patched version for Wear OS6. Not sure if it comes with official version as it is not supported in my region. The antioxidant works.

I’ve got it today as well. I like the old tiles more. I like the new double-pinch.

mikich_blaz : to solve the Samsung health problem:
Go to Samsung app update (not Google) on the watch, there is new Samsung Health app. Update/download it.

On the watch:
settings - apps - samsung app updates

Oh. Sorry.

Check permissions both on watch and phone, try restarting both.
I’m not having problems with it. Works fine.

Can you share which install method you tried?

I didn’t do anything but at some point (after updating the watch to UI8.0) there was a question on the watch to allow access to health monitoring (or something like that). Sorry, I didn’t pay attention which app asked for it, my guess is it was either Samsung Health or Samsung Health Monitor.

On the watch go to:
settings - apps - permission manager - physical activity
and check if both Health and Monitoring app are there.

Hope it will do the trick.

Under the hood upgrade I’ve noticed yesterday:

VO2 max measurement is now available for more exercises (was for running only): treadmill, biking and maybe more.
