That makes this feel more like another incremental step than a sign that a global stable release is imminent.<\/p>\n<p>Those who opt in will be able to try out the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-one-ui-8-watch-update-ditch-pixel-watch-3572376\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">key features we\u2019ve already enjoyed<\/a>, such as improved hand gestures, the option to pair two tiles into one, and the new Now Bar for live updates on your watch face.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s still no word on whether the Galaxy Watch 4 will get its own beta, but for now, Watch 5 owners in Korea can sign up through Samsung Members. Those in the US should start watching for the update to appear soon.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
