Samsung is rolling out the November 2024 security update for the Galaxy Watch 7 in Europe, after Korea. This update is important as it’s the first security patch for the watch since it was released in July.
Before this, the Galaxy Watch 7 had been criticized for not getting updates on time, with some models still using security patches from months before the watch was even launched.
November 2024 security update is available for Galaxy Watch 7 Bluetooth models (SM-L300, SM-L310) in Europe with firmware version ending with XXU1AXK6. However, not all models are getting the update just yet.
The update is currently not available for the 4G versions of the Galaxy Watch 7 (SM-L305F, SM-L315F) or the Galaxy Watch Ultra (SM-L705F). Samsung is expected to release the update for these models soon.
The fresh update improves the watch’s stability and reliability. The most essential part is that it adds the latest security patch for November 2024 as it makes the device more secure.
Users will have to install a 245 MB software package to install the update. You can also check for the update manually by connecting the watch to your phone, opening the Wearable app then, going to the Watch 7 settings in the app and selecting Update watch software.
