## Summary

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic will not receive One UI 9 Watch, ending software upgrades for the 2021 models. That means they will miss the update’s new features, bug fixes and security updates, though the article says the absence of the new OS will not affect current performance.

The Watch 4 range has already received four major upgrades, which is the limit Samsung set for earlier models; newer devices are promised five. Samsung says the Watch 5, Watch 5 Pro and later models should receive One UI 9 Watch by the end of 2026. The update adds a refreshed interface, wrist-activated AI assistant and health metrics, including Daily Cardio Load and a Heart Health Score.
