One UI 6 Watch features Galaxy AI and other health-tracking improvements
Samsung is bringing Galaxy AI to its smartwatches with the One UI 6 Watch update. With the help of activity and health data in Samsung Health, the company will offer personalized health tips and motivational encouragement to Galaxy Watch users.
Energy Score, a new feature in Samsung Health, helps you understand your daily condition. This feature examines several aspects of your health and routines, including average sleep time, bed/wake time consistency, heart rate variability, previous day activity, sleep time consistency, sleep timing, and sleeping heart rate, to help you understand if it is safe to work out that day.
Based on your specific goals and health record, Galaxy AI will offer personalized health tips and motivation to help you achieve your daily and monthly goals.
Samsung claims it has enhanced sleep algorithms with the help of AI to offer additional in-depth information and insights. The Sleep Insights feature offers a more accurate and detailed analysis of your sleep quality. It uses additional data, including movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate, and respiratory rate during sleep. This will help users better understand their sleep habits and help them find ways to improve sleep quality.
In addition to personalized heart rate zones, One UI 6 Watch offers Aerobic Threshold (AT) / Anaerobic Threshold (AnT) Heart Rate Zone information. It can be used to improve running efficiency while analyzing performance.
Cyclists can look forward to One UI 6 Watch's Functional Threshold Power (FTP) feature. It can be calculated in ten minutes, and cyclists can use it to train like professionals.
With the new Race feature, cyclists and runners can compare their current workout with their past records.
If you perform a combination of several workouts, the Workout Routine feature can be immensely helpful to you. You can combine any number of workouts one after another, and the smartwatch will continue tracking them automatically.
Samsung MX's Junho Park said, “By expanding the power of Galaxy AI across our ecosystem, we’re looking to open up all new possibilities with optimized and connected experiences that offer users greater personalization and intelligence. The introduction of Galaxy AI to Galaxy Watch is just the beginning of this process, and we’re excited to showcase even more integrations across our Galaxy portfolio very soon.”
