The current lineup of devices benefiting from One UI 8 includes the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and the 2025 Watch Ultra, with the 2024 Watch Ultra receiving the update in late July 2025.

The watch is currently available for $50 off its original price, and a bundle deal that includes the Galaxy Watch 8 and a 4-pack of Galaxy SmartTag 2 trackers is being offered for the usual $349 price tag, through August 24.
