TL;DR

• Multiple users report receiving frequent, seemingly false high-stress warnings on their Galaxy Watch since installing the new One UI 8 Watch update.
• The cause could be an alteration in the algorithm or thresholds used to detect stress via heart rate monitoring.

Samsung has released a stable version of One UI 8 Watch, based on Wear OS 6, for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra (2024). This platform update is significant, as it introduces new features, including the Now Bar and revamped watch tiles, to existing smartwatch users. However, the update might have also caused some extra stress to users, if all the additional stress warnings are to be believed.
