Earlier this year, Samsung ushered in the era of mobile AI with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series, pledging to introduce Galaxy AI to a wider range of devices. True to this promise, Samsung now brings this technology to the Galaxy Watch, improving its popular health features. By combining powerful on-device AI with an app as comprehensive as Samsung Health, the result will be some of the most personalized and safe health experiences to date.
Advanced intelligence for a more holistic and motivating vision
Samsung continues to make progress in delivering an improved health and wellness experience, starting with the use of actionable information that helps the user gain a better understanding of their health patterns. Now, by combining Galaxy AI with Samsung Health, the new health functions will be able to provide even more complete information, a stimulus to improve daily well-being.
With Energy score[1]you can get a better understanding of your daily status through an analysis that combines personal health metrics, including: average hours of sleep, consistency of those hours of sleep, consistency of times at bedtime and at night. getting up, sleep schedule, previous day’s activity, heart rate during sleep[2] and heart rate variability; all of this, to help you face and organize the day. Besides, Wellness tips[3] Helps you achieve personal health goals by providing ideas and advice based on the specific goal you want to achieve.
Greater precision and accuracy
Accurate health metrics are critical to improving smart health experiences. Improved health algorithms along with advanced tracking tools will provide more holistic, personalized and actionable information when combined with AI. Since good health begins with a good night’s rest, Samsung is enhancing its AI sleep algorithm to provide additional insights into rest. New sleep indicators added for Sleep information They offer a more detailed and precise analysis of the quality of your rest so you can better understand patterns and create better habits. These added metrics include movement during rest, latency, heart rate and respiratory ratein addition to other metrics such as hours of snoring, blood oxygen level and sleep cycle.
New fitness features offer intelligent measurements of each user’s physical capacity for a more personalized workout that was traditionally only provided by highly advanced equipment. In addition to the five Custom Health Ratio Zone running intensity levels, new detailed fitness metrics Aerobic Threshold (AT) / Anaerobic Threshold (AnT) of the Heart Rate Zone[4] They help you run efficiently while quickly analyzing performance. In addition, cyclists can calculate easily, in just 10 minutes[5]the metrics of the Functional Threshold Power (FTP). A solution with which to train professionally and use a personalized power index, which is based on data analysis with AI to maximize performance.
Fitness tracking tools also help you monitor workouts and progress more conveniently. With the new training routine, you can combine multiple exercises for a personalized workout, and also move on to the next step without interruptions. The user can stay motivated by tracking their running or cycling progress thanks to Career[6]which compares current performance to previous record on the same routes.
“By expanding the power of Galaxy AI across our ecosystem, we seek to unlock new possibilities with optimized, connected experiences that offer users greater personalization and intelligence”has manifested Junho Park, Vice President and Director of Galaxy Ecosystem Product Planning Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “The introduction of Galaxy AI on Galaxy Watch is just the beginning of this process and we will be excited to show off even more integrations across our Galaxy portfolio very soon.”
These new features will be available on the upcoming Galaxy Watch range via One UI 6 Watch, due out later this year. A limited number of Galaxy Watch users will have early access to the beta program starting in June. This is just a small sample of what we have in store for our users, and we can’t wait to show off the full power of Galaxy AI when integrated with the advanced hardware updates coming to the new Galaxy Watch series. Stay tuned!

[5] To measure custom FTP, your Galaxy smartphone must be connected to a power meter. To calculate a more accurate FTP, you need to connect your Galaxy Watch to a smartphone. FTP is automatically calculated when you pedal at a medium-high intensity level for more than 4 minutes with the cycling power meter connected to the bike. Thanks to machine learning, the more users cycle repeatedly, the more accurate and personalized the FTP values will be calculated. Cycling power meter sold separately. The duration of traditional FTP analysis on professional computers is up to 1 hour on average.
[6] Carrera is only available for outdoor running and outdoor cycling. To perform comparative measurements, it is necessary to run on the same course as the pre-generated course. Users can compare by selecting one of the records from a time period up to 14 days ago. Comparison of records through Carrera is only available when starting at the same location as the previous record start point. If the starting points are different, it will automatically convert to mode running.
