During the announcement, Samsung has decided to unveil the One UI Watch, and it will make its debut on a new Galaxy Watch "later this summer." At the same time, Samsung did not reveal any details about the smartwatch; the company did release some software capabilities that we can expect.

This is going to give users a familiar experience. Additionally, the new platform will automatically sync any customizations you make in the Clock app on your phone to your smartwatch. It will also sync blocked contacts across all the connected Galaxy devices.
Samsung has also shared that the One UI Watch will support the entire Play Store ecosystem; this will allow you to download all supported Wear OS apps on your smartwatch. Samsung has also revealed that the upcoming smartwatch will feature support for third-party watch faces. Samsung will also release a new Watch Face design tool that will help the designers create unique watch faces for the upcoming Galaxy Watch with ease.
