Hi, does anyone know when the beta will launch in the US for the watch 8 classic? I hear that it's live some places. Thx

      I understand ththat people responded quickly to joining the program but I would've kept it open to even more people instead of closing it as I have a 8 classic with an s26 and I'm also in the United States and can NOT access or join the program myself

      Are we ever getting Watch One UI 9?! 
      Like come on. I have an 8 classic, there's no reason this update shouldn't be out.

      I have the LTE version (AT&T) of the Watch8 classic in the US. I still have no way to join the new one ui 9 beta for the watch. The banner on the homepage still shows up advertising the new beta, however there is no option to join.

      I have the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic LTE and I'm on US Mobile, is the One UI 9 update supposed to fix the issue with the not being compatible with US Mobile thing? I heard on Reddit they're actively testing the update with the fix to support US Mobile and other mvno's for older watches is included with One UI 9 slated for before the end of the year. Can someone let me know what is going on with that? And are we supposed to be getting the update in mid November or early December? Thanks.

      Yes, the update is definitely coming in One UI 9. The timing is the questionable part. The beta was supposed to be available in October, with final release in November. However, they withheld the beta from the LTE version of the watch for some reason. It's so frustrating to have to wait when I'm willing to test it.

      I'm thankful it's coming. It's a pain to wait, but it won't be long now. Supposed to be before the end of the year.
