However, Samsung has left its Galaxy Watch users waiting for an update, with no official information about any impending \u201cOne UI 7 Watch\u201d update based on Wear OS 5.1. Leaks recently suggested that Samsung is looking to jump from One UI 6 Watch directly to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-may-skip-one-ui-7-watch-for-one-ui-8-watch-3554687\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One UI 8 Watch<\/a>, and now, we get our first look at some of the new icons coming with the new update.<\/p>\n<p>Leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DevOfIpos\/status\/1919812756112327101\" target=\"_blank\">IposDev<\/a> on X has shared the new icons coming to Galaxy smartwatches with their upcoming One UI Watch 8 update.<\/p>\n<p>From the looks of it, Samsung could be leaning towards squircle icons on its smartwatches. However, a later comment from the leaker says they\u2019ll be round in shape on the watches, so we\u2019ll have to wait and watch to see what direction Samsung takes. There is also a prominent white background\/border across all icons, which should help with contrast, but some users might find it aesthetically unpleasant. The icons are refreshed, but align with what we see on One UI 7.<\/p>\n<p>Leaker <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DevOfIpos\/status\/1919828862088671433\" target=\"_blank\">IposDev<\/a> has also shared some of the new One UI Watch 8 APKs. These APKs are said not to be installable on older watches, but we intend to dig through them to see what new features we can discover hidden within them. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
