One UI 6 Watch Beta 1 Rolling Out with Galaxy AI

[GaryB82]

At the moment the Watch 6 Beta is only for Watch 6 Classic and Watch 6 Bluetooth only models and may be extended to LTE and Watch 5 models at a later date.  Please keep a eye on the top of the Members app for future details of availability to join the Beta.

I have the Galaxy 6 Classic with BT/Wifi/GPS 47.  SM-R960NZKAXAA.

I talked via chat to support for almost an hour and we tried a few times and I just got a shrug. No go.

Which Samsung watch are you using?

[Snoring Bear]

@LongHiker - I hope you saw my reply.  Can't tell if your following posts were to me or someone else.  But, I have my watch connected to my Moto 2023 Edge+.  That works fine.  However, you cannot install Samsung Members on that, so I have been using my Tab A8.  When I click the Participate Button, it says I am ineligible.  When I hit cancel, I get a box that says, Beta Test. Tap the Button below to go to the Galaxy Store and install the beta app....

When I do, it goes to a browser and the link is no good.  Says Webpage is not available

The webpage at normalbetasamsungapps://BetaTestProductDetail/com.samsun.wearable.watchplugin?  and much more.   At the end it says net:ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.

So apparently something is wrong with a few of these steps and urls.  Like I said, I worked for an hour with a Samsung Tech via chat, which was painfully slow, but at the end he had no clue what was wrong.  Kind of a poop show.  Do you have any tips on how to make this work?

Thanks.

[LongHiker]

@Snoring Bear Yeah, unfortunately the Galaxy Watches don't sync with the tablets. You would need your watch synced to a Samsung phone to be able to participate in the beta. 

[LongHiker]

@Snoring Bear Yes, my post was for you. You can't sync a watch with the tablet. So you can't join the Beta from your tablet for the watch. 

Also, you can't join the beta from a non-Samsung phone. 

Sorry, but you are unable to participate. 

[Snoring Bear]

That for a final clear answer.  Imho, this should be the first question the support staff should have on their flow charts.  This was never brought up during my hour plus session.  Thanks.
