You can now install Galaxy Watch Ultra-exclusive faces on older watches — here's how
Recent One UI Watch versions had blocked the installation of these watch faces, but that limitation appears to have been removed recently. It's unclear if this change would be permanent.
Users must enable developer mode on their Galaxy Watch and sideload the watch face APK via ADB. Don't worry, we have detailed steps to guide you through the process.
Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Watch 8, Watch 8 Classic, and a refreshed Galaxy Watch Ultra. While the Galaxy Watch 8 series has gone all-in on the Watch Ultra's squircle design, Samsung still keeps a few features exclusive to the Ultra, like their exclusive Simple Ultra and Ultra Analog watch faces. If you want to get them on your non-Ultra Galaxy Watch, you're out of luck… until now, that is. You can now unofficially sideload the Ultra-exclusive watch faces onto older Galaxy Watches, so there's one less reason to splurge on the Ultra.
Telegram user Rebirth57 has shared the APKs for the Ultra Analog and Simple Ultra watch faces, which Telegram user Dante63 (of the Samsung Health Mod fame) has highlighted and reshared. Reddit user SelfWeary1870 tried them out on their Galaxy Watch 7, and this is how they look:

These watch faces have a unique feature that gives the watch hands, hour markers, and a few other UI elements a traditional watch-style photoluminescent glow-in-the-dark look, which you can see in the photos of the AOD screen above.

The Reddit user notes that users could previously sideload the Watch Ultra's watch faces onto older Galaxy Watches like the Watch 6 Classic. However, One UI Watch 6 blocked this installation from taking effect, seemingly throwing a 'Buildtype 3001' error at users. Consequently, even Galaxy Watch 7 users couldn't sideload these two exclusive watch faces.
However, with the release of One UI 8 Watch/Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025), this limitation appears to have been removed from the watch faces. Consequently, these watch faces can be installed on older Galaxy watches. It's unclear if the One UI 8 Watch update on older watches will block the watch faces again, so make hay while the sun shines.
How to install Galaxy Watch Ultra watch faces on older Galaxy Watches
Here are the steps you need to install the Galaxy Watch Ultra's exclusive watch faces on older Galaxy Watches: Download the Simple Ultra APK or the Ultra Analog APK onto your phone. Download and install the Bugjaeger Mobile ADB – USB OTG app to your phone. This app lets you connect your watch to your phone via wireless ADB. Turn off Bluetooth on your Galaxy Watch. Connect your Galaxy Watch to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone. Turn on developer options on your Galaxy Watch: On your watch, navigate to Settings > About watch > Software information, and tap the Software version entry seven times. A message will appear confirming that developer mode has been enabled. Turn on ADB Debugging and Debug over Wi-Fi on your Galaxy Watch: On your watch, navigate to Settings > Developer options and toggle on ADB Debugging. You'll also see the Debug over Wi-Fi entry underneath. Tap on it to enter the menu, turn it on, and tap the pair button. Your watch's IP address, port, and pairing code will appear here, which you will need for the next step. Open the Bugjaeger app on your phone and start the pairing process. You will likely have to enter your watch's IP address, port, and pairing code, which you got from the previous step. Once your phone is connected to your watch, you can navigate to the Packages tab within the Bugjaeger app on your phone. Here, you can select the downloaded watch face APK files, which will subsequently be installed on your watch.
Once the watch faces are installed on your Galaxy Watch, you can apply them. Remember to edit the watch face on the watch first, as it requires permission to access complication data. This is a one-time permission, after which you can edit the watch faces in the Galaxy Wearable app.

Yes, You Can Bundle Other Cybersecurity Services With Some VPNs. But Is It a Good Idea?
If all you're using to protect your digital privacy and security is a VPN and your own vigilance, you're still leaving yourself vulnerable to various online threats like phishing, malware, identity theft and ransomware. To fully protect yourself, you need to start putting together an arsenal of privacy and security tools. Using a trustworthy VPN is a great start because a VPN can boost your online privacy by encrypting your internet traffic and masking your true IP address. But a VPN is only one piece of the puzzle. A VPN can't stop you from entering your personal information into a phishing site, protect your device if you mistakenly download malware or keep track of your online login credentials. Similarly, antivirus won't save you from the perils of weak, easily cracked passwords. For thorough protection, you'll need several services, like a password manager, antivirus software, cloud storage, secure email and identity protection. In the past, you'd have to get each service individually from separate providers. Although that segmented approach is still valid, a handful of VPN companies have made things a bit easier by bundling various privacy and security services under one umbrella. The convenience of bundling is undeniable, but what about potential pitfalls? Is it really cheaper to bundle all of your privacy and security tools? Is it safer to take a diversified approach rather than sharing more of your data with a single entity? Do you trust your VPN provider to deliver a top-notch antivirus software, password manager, cloud storage or email client, or is it better to choose an established dedicated provider of these additional services? That's something you'll ultimately need to decide on your own, but I'm here to help you make an informed decision, based on more than a decade testing and reviewing services like VPNs and password managers. Here's everything you need to know about bundled VPN subscriptions and whether it's the right path for you to take. What services can you bundle with your VPN? Each VPN approaches bundling differently and not every VPN that offers bundled services offers the same suite of tools. With some VPN companies, you can only access the additional services when you bundle them with the VPN. Others offer a bit more flexibility, allowing you to get each service on its own. If you choose to bundle, the provider you go with will largely depend on the specific services you need. Generally, you can expect VPN bundles to include some combination of the services I've highlighted below. Password managers With a password manager, all you need to do is remember a single password, and the password manager takes care of the rest -- suggesting strong passwords and keeping track of all of your login credentials for each individual online account. This frees you up to create strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts, and helps minimize your risk of falling victim to brute force and credential-stuffing attacks. Antivirus If your computer is infected with malware, a malicious actor could potentially spy on your activity, gain control of your device or steal your sensitive personal data. A good antivirus program stays up to date with the latest threats, continuously scanning for malware, detecting it and blocking it from infecting your device. If malware is detected on your computer, the antivirus software can remove it. Encrypted cloud storage With cloud storage, you can access your files securely from anywhere, without needing to carry around a physical external hard drive. Some VPN providers offer encrypted cloud storage options that let you store your files securely with end-to-end encryption, ensuring that no one else (not even the cloud storage provider) can access your vault. Secure cloud storage services encrypt your files in traffic and at rest -- meaning that your files are protected while they're being transferred as well as when they're stored on servers located in physically secured data centers. Email Traditional email is notoriously one of the least secure methods of digital communication, in large part because it wasn't built with privacy in mind. Although your email messages are encrypted in transit, once they land in your recipient's inbox, they're not encrypted at rest, which means they could be scanned for targeted advertising purposes. Secure email providers like Proton Mail use end-to-end encryption to secure your email messages to ensure only you can view the content of your emails. You can even send password-protected email messages to a recipient who isn't using a secure email provider. Identity protection Identity protection services typically include features like data removal, dark web monitoring, identity theft insurance, SSN monitoring, credit monitoring and credit reports. Many of these services can be accessed individually (and some at no cost), but if you don't already have access to them through your bank or elsewhere, having a suite of identity protection tools in one place can be convenient in addition to offering you greater peace of mind. NordVPN offers several subscription options with access to various bundled privacy and security services. NordVPN/Screenshot by CNET Why you might want to bundle other services with your VPN If you're serious about staying private and secure online, then you'll need more than just a single tool. At the very least, you should have a VPN, password manager and antivirus, but the more tools you have working to keep you safe online the better the protection. Bundling multiple services offered by your VPN provider may make sense for you for a number of reasons. Convenience Perhaps the most compelling reason to bundle additional privacy and security services with your VPN is convenience. Having all the tools you need managed by a single provider means that you only need to keep track of a single login and a single subscription charge that renews at the same interval. No need to juggle five different logins and five different subscriptions that renew at different times throughout the year. You'll also benefit from a consistent user experience across services in the same ecosystem. And limiting your contact to a single customer support unit is far more convenient than having your conversations scattered across various individual providers. NordVPN is one of the companies offering cybersecurity bundles, including combinations of VPN, anti-malware, ad blocker, password manager, cloud storage and identity protection at varying prices. NordVPN told me via email that bundling 'enhances overall protection, simplifies account and subscription management, and is often more cost-effective than purchasing each service separately. This all-in-one approach helps people to ensure they have the essential tools to stay safe online without the hassle of managing multiple providers.' Easy access to additional privacy and security tools Bundling offers a streamlined approach to managing your online privacy and security, especially if you're a beginner just starting to build your digital privacy toolbox. At the same time, it may make you more inclined to use additional tools that you wouldn't have otherwise used to protect yourself online. Bundled services may even introduce you to additional privacy and security tools you may not have been familiar with. UK-based privacy advocacy group, Privacy International, is optimistic about how bundled services can foster greater awareness in available privacy tools and bring them more into the mainstream. "We're excited by the increased interest in privacy and security tools and services. People want stronger protections for their data and these companies are helping to make tools accessible to more people,' Privacy International's Press team told me via email. 'A customer interested in VPNs will now be able to learn about the benefits of other tools like a password manager. Security is hard, however, and these firms have to prove to users that they're living up to their promises." Potential cost savings The overall cost of comprehensive online privacy and security is another important consideration. Although the combination of available services is vast -- giving you nearly limitless options to choose individual services from different companies and minimize your spending -- you still may be able to save money by bundling. Even if a bundled subscription is slightly more expensive than an á la carte combination you cobbled together, consider whether paying a little more for the convenience factor of staying in a single ecosystem makes sense for you. 'We firmly believe users want ecosystems, not products,' Proton VPN's general manager David Peterson told CNET. 'They want the ease of use that ecosystems provide and don't want to have to rely on multiple products and companies.' Why you may want to go á la carte On the other side of the coin, there are several reasons why bundling may not be the optimal solution for you. Sometimes going with individual providers could make more sense depending on your needs and specific situation. Potential cost savings While bundling may save you money, going á la carte with your privacy and security subscriptions isn't necessarily more expensive. It all comes down to your needs and how much looking around you're willing to do. With a little digging, you may be able to uncover quality individual services that add up to a cheaper price than a VPN bundle. However, going this route will take a bit more time and energy than just bundling with a single provider. CNET's coverage of VPNs, password managers, antivirus and identity theft protection software can get you a head start if you're the value-hunting type. Is it safe to put all of your privacy and security eggs in one basket? Another thing to consider is whether you're comfortable with trusting a single entity to manage your entire privacy and security service portfolio under one roof. Is it safe to store that much data with one company? The company might sell your data, suffer a data breach, go under or be sold to a new owner. At that point, the fate of your data could become uncertain. It's often safer to diversify rather than keep all of your eggs in one basket. Proton's Peterson acknowledges that this is an issue, but maintains that services that respect privacy can be a strong alternative for privacy-minded folks fed up with Big Tech. 'Google or Apple's offerings are so compelling because they provide ecosystems that allow users to operate online through one platform,' Peterson said. 'But this broad scope also allows these companies to collect data on every aspect of their private lives. We need alternatives that respect privacy and allow users to operate online without their data being harvested.' Thorin Klosowski, security and privacy activist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, encourages consumers to be especially mindful of proper security hygiene when bundling multiple services under one roof. 'Having so many critical services -- specifically a password manager, email, and cloud backup -- behind one login is easier, but also means you should take the time to consider any potential risks to you personally if someone gained access to that login, and you should be comfortable with making a strong password and using two-factor authentication for that account,' Klosowski told me. Do you trust the quality of your VPN company's other services? Another thing to keep in mind is that there's no shortage of dedicated antivirus, password manager, secure email, ID protection and secure cloud storage companies that have long been firmly established in the industry. Do you trust the antivirus or password manager solution that your VPN provider just cooked up? Could these companies be spreading themselves too thin, potentially leaving themselves vulnerable to dangerous oversights that could weaken one or more of their services? Are they allocating sufficient resources to all of their products? Klosowski agrees that this could be an issue with certain companies. 'Make sure you trust that company's privacy and security practices on all fronts -- not just one part, like its VPN offering or password manager -- before you sign up,' Klosowski said. 'If they drop the ball on any of those promises in the future, even to just one of the bundled services, it may subtly undermine the others, but at that point it might be tough to take your business elsewhere.' The VPN companies I spoke with all pointed to their established privacy and security track records to alleviate misgivings people may have. 'For users wary of choosing a bundled solution from a VPN company over long-established, specialized providers, NordVPN emphasizes the quality, transparency, and independence of each service within its ecosystem,' NordVPN said. 'Products like NordPass and NordLocker are built by dedicated teams under the Nord Security umbrella, with a strong focus on advanced security standards, usability, and independent audits, similar to leading standalone solutions.' 'Some bundled VPNs might compromise on quality and features just to tick a box,' Proton's Peterson said. 'However, each Proton product offers a viable standalone alternative, with its own roadmap, that can respond to a specific user need on its own.' Shay Peretz, ExpressVPN's chief information officer, told CNET via email, 'Our privacy-first approach is fundamental to everything we do at ExpressVPN. This philosophy doesn't change as we expand our services -- in fact, it becomes even more critical. Each new feature adheres to our rigorous security standards and commitment to user privacy that have defined our VPN service. Additionally, regular independent audits verify our privacy claims and ensure we maintain the trust our users place in us.' Your VPN's bundles might not check all the boxes you need But even if you fully trust your VPN company, it may not offer all of the services you want to use -- in which case, you'll need to purchase separate services anyway. Additionally, if you already have additional services you're happy with, then there might not be a compelling reason to switch to a VPN bundle. Luckily, most VPN companies that have bundled plans offer basic 'VPN-only' tiers that are available for much cheaper. Conversely, some VPN companies have pricing structures that offer far less flexibility than others, which might lead you to pay for services you don't even want or need. Final thoughts Bundling additional services with your VPN is a convenient and potentially budget-friendly way to go, especially if you're a beginner just starting to put together your online privacy and security toolbox. Bundling may be the right solution for you if you want the convenience and consistency that come with dealing with a single provider. On the other hand, you can also easily put together your own custom package based on your needs -- which can even be cheaper than bundling if price is a primary concern for you. Going á la carte may be the right solution for you if you want more granular control over your privacy and security toolbox or if you don't want to risk putting all of your eggs in one basket. Either way, it's imperative that you do your research to ensure the providers you choose are trustworthy, transparent about what they do and are properly equipped to maintain the services they offer -- because not all companies are. But if you're leveraging the right tools and taking steps to protect yourself online, you're already on the right path.

To Bundle or Not to Bundle: Your Guide to VPNs and Other Cybersecurity Service Packages
Even though VPN bundle subscriptions have been around for a few years now, the trend is showing no signs of slowing down. A handful of the companies we've traditionally thought of as 'VPN companies' are becoming much more than just VPN companies. They're essentially rebranding as comprehensive cybersecurity solutions -- a one-stop shop to cover all of your online privacy and security needs. But there's an abundance of bundles, and it can sometimes be challenging to tell which ones offer the services you need at a good value for comprehensive cybersecurity protection. Ultimately, it comes down to your specific use and needs, as well as your budget. I've spent a decade reviewing VPNs, specifically, and have dabbled in reviews of other cybersecurity services like password managers. Based on that cumulative experience, I've laid out the most notable VPN bundles available, along with recommendations for both bundles and a la carte options, with the help of some reviews from other CNET colleagues, particularly for antivirus services. Breaking down the bundles Each VPN provider that offers bundled services delivers a slightly different suite of tools. The providers of note here are Proton, Nord Security, Surfshark and ExpressVPN. Here is what each offers and what each one charges for its basic VPN plan as well as bundled subscription options. (Note that ExpressVPN currently doesn't offer a tiered pricing structure.) Proton Proton is for the privacy purist who wants comprehensive privacy and security protections from a trailblazer in privacy tool bundling. VPN Plus: $10 per month, $48 for the first year (then $80 per year) or $72 for the first two years combined (then $80 per year) VPN Proton Unlimited: $13 per month, $120 per year or $192 for the first two years combined (then $120 per year) VPN Password manager Encrypted cloud storage Secure email Encrypted calendar Nord Security (NordVPN) NordVPN is excellent for power users and anyone who wants a premium bundle that ticks many boxes. While its Threat Protection Pro anti-malware protection isn't a full-fledged antivirus solution, it comes close and has been approved by AV Comparatives as a reliable anti-phishing tool. Basic: $13 per month, $60 for the first year (then $139 per year) or $81 for the first two years combined (then $140 per year) VPN Plus: $14 per month, $72 for the first year (then $180 per year) or $105 for the first two years combined (then $180 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Complete: $15 per month, $84 for the first year (then $219 per year) or $129 for the first two years combined (then $219 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Encrypted cloud storage Prime: $18 per month, $108 for the first year (then $372 per year) or $177 for the first two years combined (then $372 per year) VPN Anti-malware protection Password manager Encrypted cloud storage ID protection Surfshark Surfshark is great for budget-conscious users looking for unique bundling options that include antivirus, private search and a personal detail generator. However, Surfshark is the only VPN company listed here that doesn't include a password manager. Starter: $15.45 per month, $48 for the first 15 months (then $79 per year) or $54 for the first 27 months (then $79 per year) VPN Personal detail generator One: $18 per month, $51 for the first 15 months (then $99 per year) or $67 for the first 27 months (then $99 per year) VPN Personal detail generator Antivirus Data leak alerts Private search One-plus: $20.65 per month, $91 for the first 15 months (then $119 per year) or $108 for the first 27 months (then $119 per year) VPN Personal detail generator Antivirus Data leak alerts Private search Data removal ExpressVPN ExpressVPN is somewhat of an outlier because it doesn't have a tiered pricing model and only offers a VPN, password manager and ID protection tools. It's also expensive, but if you're looking for one of the best VPNs on the planet and a capable password manager, then ExpressVPN is a solid bet. Monthly: $13 per month VPN Password manager Yearly: $100 per year (initial term lasts 15 months) VPN Password manager Dark web scanner ID theft insurance Credit scanner Two-year: $140 for the first 28 months (then $117 per year) VPN Password manager Dark web scanner ID theft insurance Credit scanner Monthly credit report Data removal VPN bundles at a glance Here's a look at what each VPN provider offers. Proton Nord Security (NordVPN) Surfshark ExpressVPN VPN ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ Password manager ✔️ ✔️ X ✔️ Antivirus X ✔️ ✔️ X Encrypted cloud storage ✔️ ✔️ X X Secure email ✔️ X X X ID protection X ✔️ X ✔️ Personal detail generator X X ✔️ X Recommended á la carte options The possibilities are virtually endless, but if you're set against bundling with a single provider, I've put together three potential á la carte packages for you to consider based on CNET's recommended VPN, password manager and antivirus services to help you get started in your search for the optimal combination for your needs. (Pricing is calculated based on each service's annual price, with renewal prices noted immediately after.) Package 1: The budget-friendly package This is the package for you if you're looking for a quality package that won't break the bank. VPN: Surfshark Password manager: Bitwarden Antivirus: Malwarebytes Total: $93 for the first year, then $134 per year Package 2: The power-user package This package is great if you're looking for services that offer a variety of features and work on lots of devices. VPN: NordVPN Password manager: Keeper -- $40 Antivirus: McAfee Total: $130 for the first year, then $270 per year Package 3: The premium package This package is for you if you want a first-class experience with well-rounded services that work perfectly out of the box and require a minimal learning curve. VPN: ExpressVPN Password manager: 1Password -- $36 Antivirus: Norton 360 with Lifelock Total: $166 for the first year, then $213 per year What to look for in a VPN bundle Trustworthiness and transparency You have to put an enormous amount of trust in your VPN provider that it's doing what it says it's doing to protect your privacy and that it's not logging your online activity when you use its VPN service. You need to similarly trust the VPN company to properly maintain and secure its bundled service offerings. Before choosing a provider, do some research -- read unbiased reviews, get to know the company behind the service and look for regular third-party audits of its services. A trustworthy company should be transparent about what it does to keep you safe online, how it does it and why it does it. If the company doesn't seem trustworthy or transparent about its purpose or processes, choose a different provider. Services offered Of course, you'll want a company that offers the specific services you need. Not all VPN companies offer the same bundled services, so choose one that best fits your needs. Even if it doesn't check all of the boxes, you can always get additional services separately. And VPN companies continue to expand their bundled service offerings, so if your VPN doesn't yet offer the service you need now, it may in the future. Clear privacy policies Before committing to a provider, make sure to take a look through its privacy policies. Each individual service may have its own separate privacy policy, so I recommend looking through each one to ensure its privacy practices are sound across the board. Even if you don't read through the entire thing, search the page for terms like 'data sharing' and 'data collection' to get information related to how the company handles your data when using each of its services. In general, the less sharing, the better. Ownership Do a little digging into the company or ownership group behind the services you're considering. Has the company ever suffered a data breach, data leak or been involved in any unscrupulous data collection or sharing activities? Has company ownership been involved in any legal cases? If so, what were the circumstances and how did the company handle the situation? If you uncover any red flags, proceed with caution. Final thoughts After reviewing VPNs for more than a decade, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Proton VPN and Surfshark are among the providers I trust the most for privacy. I'm inclined to trust each one in the development of any additional privacy or security tool they offer now or in the future -- which is why I can enthusiastically recommend the bundled packages offered by each one. Each VPN I spoke with told me in one way or another that they're still planning on expanding their services to evolve with users' needs, which tells me that bundled services are here to stay and that we can look forward to even greater parity between providers in the future. Ultimately, to bundle or not to bundle will be a choice only you can make for yourself. I hope this was a useful starting point in your online privacy and security journey, but whichever route you choose to take, make sure to take the time to research the provider(s) you go with to ensure they're doing their part to deliver the protections you need.
