Owners ofSamsung Galaxy Watchsmartwatches are about to receive a bunch of news features, thanks to a software update called One UI Watch4.5.
Coming to compatible devices in the next few months –Samsungsaysit’ll be during the third financial quarter – the update to Wear OS watches will improve typing and accessibility, while also enabling dual SIM support for owners of certain Samsung phones.
For the first time, One UI Watch4.5 brings what Samsung calls a “full typing experience” to its smartwatches.
This means, as with theApple Watch, a full QWERTY keyboard will be a typing option, with swipe support to make it easier to type on a tiny display; this will join the dictation and handwriting options already available on Samsung watches. Instead of picking an input option in the settings menu, it will be possible to switch between the three modes while composing a message or email.

Secondly, dual-SIM support will let owners of certain Galaxy phones set a preferred SIM for their smartwatch, or have the watch automatically switch to whichever SIM the phone is using. This will be handy for those who have personal and work SIMs in one phone, or who use a pair of SIM cards when travelling between countries.
