Samsung Electronics introduced its One UI Watch user experience at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Monday. The new interface is designed to make the Galaxy Watch and smartphone experience more deeply connected.
Samsung also confirmed that One UI Watch will be available for Galaxy Watch on the new, unified platform it jointly built with Google, bringing performance enhancements, a more seamless experience between the Watch and Android smartphones.
Samsung noted that One UI Watch will debut on the upcoming Galaxy Watch, which is scheduled for launch at its Unpacked event this summer.
The new experience will automatically download compatible apps that you install on your phone onto your smartwatch. Your phone settings such as the clocks you've set for different cities will also appear on your wearable device.
“To unlock the full potential of these wearables, we’re leveraging our long legacy of mobile innovations and our partnerships with trusted industry leaders who have grown with us in our open ecosystem,” said Patrick Chomet, EVP and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through these efforts, we will enrich our smartwatch experience and convenience of the Galaxy ecosystem for our consumers.”
