Testing with One UI Watch 5 should start soon as Samsung should focus on adding and improving health-focused features. This is what the portal says SamMobileWhich mentions that the first watches that will test the new version will be from the Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series.

First, let’s remember that Samsung said that it will open the One UI Watch 5 test program by the end of May. So South Korea only has a few days to fulfill its promise, but at the moment no invitation is provided on the Samsung Members app.

In this way, the first opportunity to test the One UI Watch 5 Beta before the launch of the Galaxy Watch 6 will be given to Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 users during COEX 2023, which will be held in South Korea on July 26.

If Samsung opens up the One UI Watch 5 Beta testing program later this month, the US and South Korea should be the first countries to be covered. To participate, users must access the Samsung Members app and register when invitations are issued.
