Last year, Samsung introduced the One UI 6 watch update for its eligible Galaxy watches, with this update the company has offered a bunch of new features that enhanced the overall user experience of smartwatch users connected to its ecosystem.
It is worth noticing that the One UI 6 watch for the Galaxy watches is based on WearOS 5 so it has received some Android-based new features as well now as Google has introduced new WearOS 5.1 update to its Pixel Watches, therefore it is possible that we could see these new feature based One UI 6 watch running watches.

In the latest release of WearOS 5.1, Google has introduced two new features that could be available for Galaxy watches in the future update:

Play music with the watch speaker: with this feature Galaxy watch users will get the ability to play music tracks directly via the smartwatch speaker.
