It ships with One UI 9 Watch on Wear OS 7, which is newer than anything these faces need. Take it out of the box, pair it with your phone, and it can install watch faces immediately — there is no update to wait for.

How to change the watch face on a Galaxy Watch 9

About a minute, start to finish. The first face you apply asks for a one-time permission on the watch; after that it is a single tap.

  1. Install Galaxy Watch Faces on your phone

    Get the free app from Google Play. There is nothing to sign up for.

  2. Open it next to your watch

    The app finds the Galaxy Watch already paired with your phone. Keep both nearby and Bluetooth on.

  3. Find a face and tap Apply

    Browse or search for a face, open it, and tap Apply. The first time, the watch asks for permission — accept it on the watch.

  4. The face installs over the air

    The face transfers to the watch wirelessly and switches on by itself. No PC, no cable, no file transfer.

Being brand new, it is also the model most likely to still be on its original strap and its original dial. Changing the face is the fastest way to make a new watch feel like yours, and it takes about a minute.
