How to download the beta?
To download the OneUI 4.5 beta for Galaxy Watch4 series, you will need a Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the Samsung Members App installed, along with a Samsung account. Then, inside the Samsung Members app, you will see a banner which allows you to register for the One UI Watch beta program. Samsung customers can then download the beta firmware after their application is accepted.
Some important points to note before you sign up for the beta include that the software may have bugs (as its a beta build) which can hamper your experience. Furthermore, if you join the beta program on your Galaxy Watch 4 and you later want to return to regular software, Samsung doesn’t provide such option as of now, even if you decide to opt out of further beta updates.
