During Mobile World Congress (MWC), Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd unveiled the One UI Watch user experience. The new interface is designed to further enhance connectivity between Galaxy Watches and smartphones. The company says that One UI Watch will be available for Galaxy Watch on the new unified platform, developed in collaboration with Google.
Users will therefore enjoy improved performance, seamless connectivity between Watches and Android Smartphones, and access to a wider range of apps. Samsung also revealed that the upcoming Galaxy Watch will be the first to feature the new unified platform and One UI Watch, which will be unveiled this summer.
A new experience for Galaxy Watch
One UI Watch, together with the unified platform, offers an entirely new experience on Galaxy Watches. With this in mind, if the apps that users install on their smartphones are compatible with the watch, they will be installed automatically on the watch too. For example, when a user chooses to customise the clock app on their smartphone to show the times in different cities around the world, the same information will also appear on their smartwatch. Similarly, if a user chooses to block calls and messages from their watch, these will also be blocked on their smartphone.
The unified platform enables new features from popular third-party apps to be connected and integrated directly into Galaxy Watch. This wide range of partnerships will appeal to many users, allowing fitness enthusiasts, for example, to make the most of apps such as adidas Running, GOLFBUDDY Smart Caddie, Swim.com and Strava.
Users who want to make use of apps such as Calm or Sleep Cycle, which help them maintain a balanced daily routine, will be equally pleased. The same applies to those who want to enjoy music and discover new artists through Spotify or YouTube, and of course to users who want to explore the places around them using Google Maps.
Design
The company will offer a watch face design tool with enhancements to make the creation process easier for designers. Later this year, Android developers will create new designs to join Samsung's ever-growing collection of watch faces.
This will allow consumers to customise their Watches to suit their mood, activity and personality. For all the latest releases, visit the TheFixers Blog daily. Stay up to date with the latest news and developments in the world of technology.
