To check the update manually, head over to Galaxy Wearable app –> Watch software update.

As per the changelog, the update brings enhanced quality and stability in VO2 Max, SpO2, Sleep score, heart rate and stress measurement. Previously, multiple customers in South Korea had complained that there was a bug with sleep tracking function. The official team also confirmed there was an error and promised to release a new version to fix all the issues.  Apart from that, this second firmware version also improves the battery life of the Galaxy Watch 3 to claims that it would run it longer. It is always good to have extra juice in the battery, so you could forget the charger for a while.
