Samsung doesn’t just cater to its smartphones with regular software updates but also extends this service to its smartwatches. This attention isn’t solely reserved for the latest models but also encompasses older versions that are still in use. This time around, it’s the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in the spotlight.
Samsung Distributes December Update for Galaxy Smartwatches
If you own a Galaxy Watch 5 or Galaxy Watch 5 Pro (Test), it’s worth checking whether the latest software update is already available for you. Samsung has commenced the rollout of the December update. This holds significance because these watches haven’t received an update since August 2023, appearing somewhat outdated. Unlike smartphones, which receive monthly software updates, this isn’t the case for watches. Updates often take longer to be made available here.

As usual, it’s advisable to carry out the installation promptly to ensure you have a secure smartwatch on your wrist, particularly if you use it for contactless payments.
