Ahead of the newSamsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Proarriving in shops this Friday, a software update has brought its new digital watch faces to older models.

The faces have rolled out within what is otherwise a fairly small upgrade to theGalaxy Watch 4’s operating system, giving owners of the year-old smartwatch the ability to make it look and feel like the newest model.

Specifically, the update takes the Galaxy Watch app to version 2.2.11.22081151, and it’s available to download from the Galaxy Store andGooglePlay Store now. As ever, these updates tend to roll out gradually, so if you can’t see it just yet, we suggest you try again later.

Names of the newGalaxy Watch 5faces now available for the Watch 4 include Info Board, Pro Analog, Digital Neon, Analog Utility, Kinetic Digits and Flower Garden.

This is probably just the start when it comes to new faces for the Galaxy Watch 4. As9to5Googlepoints out, it seems like that the smartwatch will gain more new faces with the upcoming 4.5 update to the One UI Watch system, which runs on the new Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro.

The major update is expected to expand to the older Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic in the next couple of months.
