Samsung hints at expanding exclusive Galaxy Watch Ultra faces to older Galaxy Watch models
While the Ultra Analog and Simple Ultra watch faces are currently exclusive to the Galaxy Watch Ultra due to hardware and software constraints, Samsung has hinted at the possibility of expanding their availability. This development comes as a welcome surprise for Galaxy Watch users who admire the unique glow-in-the-dark feature of these watch faces.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch 7, despite their hardware differences, share the same health and fitness tracking features, which will also be extended to older Galaxy smartwatches through the Wear OS 5 update. However, this update will not include all the new watch faces available for the latest smartwatches. The prospect of gaining access to the exclusive Ultra watch faces is a significant draw for users of older models.
The eventual addition of these watch faces will also provide a consistent user experience across the Galaxy Watch lineup. Addressing the hardware and software limitations, Samsung aims to ensure that all Galaxy Watch users can enjoy the same level of customization and personalization. In the meantime, Galaxy Watch users can explore the existing watch faces available for their devices and anticipate the potential arrival of the Ultra-exclusive watch faces.
