Health Upgrades highlight new Samsung Galaxy Watch


The latest edition of Samsung's wearable tech contains much-desired upgrades and updates that would satisfy the need of a health buff.

The Galaxy Watch6, as well as the Galaxy Watch6 Classic, aims to help its users build healthier habits everyday. TM Roh, the President and Head of Mobile eXperience at Samsung Electronics, says, "With the new Galaxy Watch6 and Galaxy Watch6 Classic, we are delivering on our commitment to democratize advanced health monitoring tools, now offering easier access right from the wrist. From sleep and fitness coaching to nutritional insights, Samsung is providing new and convenient ways to help users gain understanding and take action for better health and wellness, every day and every night."

Highlighting the idea that better health starts with better sleep, Samsung addresses this with an emphasis on three elements: understanding personal sleep patterns, building better habits, and establishing a sleep-friendly environment. Insights based from these elements could potentially yield positive changes through personalized and actionable tips, advice, and encouragement.

By wearing the Galaxy Watch6, users would be able to receive in-depth analysis of Sleep Score Factors - total sleep time, sleep cycle, awake time, as well as physical and mental recovery, allowing them to be understand better the quality of sleep one receives nightly. Users also would have the option to get even more detailed feedback through individualized Sleep Messages, which are co-developed with the National Sleep Foundation. The Sleep Consistency feature illustrates the consistency of one's sleep and wake times, with a designated Sleep Animal Symbol representing their sleep type.

With all the information now available, users would be able to tailor such knowledge into better sleeping habits. Enhanced Sleep Coaching puts that together through instructions, tips, and reminders, which one can access either on their wrist or through their paired smartphone.

In addition, invoking Sleep Mode on both the watch and the smartphone would set the mood for the perfect sleep environment, with the notifications muted, screens dimmed, and even activate the invisible LED infrared sensor on the watch that allows delivery of valuable health information without the additional light distractions.

As for fitness buffs, the Body Composition feature of the Galaxy Watch6 provides key physical measurements that helps shed light on the user's body and fitness, including skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage, among others. Having this data available allows users to have a better read with their fitness goals. A new partnership with Whisk means users can now also get nutritional tips to help with their progress.

The Personalized Heart Rate Zone analyzes individual physical capabilities, allowing it to define five optimal running intensity levels that can guide users in setting feasible goals based on their current ability, whether in burning fat or being in a high-intensity workout.

In addition, the Track Run feature records the user's runs on a track, with the Custom Workout feature enables users to build and track their own personalized exercise routines. This is besides the over a hundred available workout trackers in place.

In case of emergencies, a Fall Detection meter can gauge whenever the user falls either during exercise, standing still, or even during sleep. In case it happens, it could send an alert automatically to either an emergency service number or to pre-selected contacts.

For those interested, both the Galaxy Watch6 and the Galaxy Watch6 Classic are available for pre-orders starting July 26, with general availability slated on August 18.
