Samsung Galaxy Watches to Get Major Health & Fitness Boost
Samsung is set to unveil fresh features for its Galaxy Watch lineup soon, and hints are emerging about what’s coming. The new smartwatches will include enhanced running and sleep-tracking tools designed to provide users with personalized insights and improve their overall well-being.
Smartwatch Features Incoming
The forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Watches will have new updates to their One UI 8 Watch software. These will introduce several new features to help wearers with their health and fitness goals. They will also offer a running coach and bedtime suggestions to personalize the user experience.
Running Coach and Enhanced Metrics
The Running Coach function will integrate AI to optimize workout routines. This feature is intended to offer motivation, guidance, and customized training programs. The watch analyzes the wearer’s data to help them meet their fitness objectives, whether they’re aiming for a 5K or a marathon.
To enable the Running Coach, users will wear their Galaxy Watch during a 12-minute run or longer. This will then analyze their pace and performance. They’ll receive a score, and a personalized training plan, dependent on the user’s goals.
Sleep and Vascular Health Analysis
The Galaxy Watch will offer “Bedtime Guidance.” The watches will assess your previous three nights of sleep and determine the best time to sleep. The feature considers sleep pressure and circadian rhythms for a sleep schedule that matches the user. This is particularly helpful for individuals with erratic sleep patterns.
The “Vascular Load” feature will monitor stress on the heart while sleeping. According to the company, a higher heart rate during sleep can signal poor cardiovascular health.
Antioxidant Index Feature
Certain behaviors and activities can hinder progress in fitness and recovery. Alcohol, smoking, UV exposure, stress, and insufficient sleep are factors that can accelerate aging. To counter this, the smartwatch will offer an Antioxidant Index.
This feature will measure the amount of antioxidants found in green and orange fruits and vegetables. The watch’s BioActive sensor will take the index in five seconds. Using a thumb on the sensor is advised for the most accurate readings. These enhancements promise a more comprehensive health monitoring experience.
