Samsung has finally launched the new Galaxy Watch 7 series, including the all-new Ultra model. As expected, the new watch series also features cool new watch faces. If you find these new watch faces interesting and want them on your Galaxy Watch, this guide is for you.
Here you will learn how to install Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7 watch faces on Galaxy Watch 6, Watch 5, and Watch 4.
Like every year, Samsung will bring these Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra watch faces to older galaxy watches, but it will take time. However, you can manually install Galaxy Watch 7 watch faces on older Galaxy Watches right away.
This is possible because the Galaxy Watch 4, Watch 5, and Watch 6 run on Wear OS just like the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra. And so we can easily install the extracted watch face APK. However, if you are new to apk installation on watch, the process may seem a bit complicated.

Hi Mr A
I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, the newest and allmighty flagahip watch of the brand.
Here in Latin America we can’t run an ecg (electrocardiogram) on Samsung Health Monitor. Do you know or has the way to do so in order to unleash all the power?
Thanks.
Yes, you can sideload modified health and monitor apps to enable ECG anywhere.
