Earlier this year, Samsung established the era of mobile AI with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series and promised to bring Galaxy AI1 to a wider range of devices. True to this promise, Samsung is now bringing Galaxy AI to the Galaxy Watch, enhancing its popular health features. By combining powerful in-device AI with the rich Samsung Health app, Samsung is on track to build the most personalized and secure health experience ever.
Advanced intelligence for more comprehensive insight and motivation
Samsung has been on a mission to deliver advanced health and wellness experiences, starting with leveraging meaningful, actionable insights to better understand users' health patterns. By combining Galaxy AI with Samsung Health, new health features provide more comprehensive health insights and motivational encouragement to improve your daily health. Energy Score2 helps you better understand how you're doing each day and get through your day by combining and analyzing personal health metrics such as average sleep time, sleep time consistency, bedtime/wake time consistency, sleep timing, previous day activity, heart rate during sleep, and heart rate variability3. Additionally, Wellness Tips4 provide insights, motivational tips, and guidance based on the specific goals you're trying to achieve, helping you achieve your personal health goals.
Greater precision and accuracy
Accurate and comprehensive health metrics are the foundation of the best intelligent health experience. Enhanced health algorithms and advanced tracking tools, combined with AI, provide more comprehensive, personalized and actionable insights. Because health starts with enough sleep, Samsung has enhanced its sleep AI algorithms to provide even more detailed sleep insights. Newly added sleep metrics in Sleep Insights provide a more detailed and accurate analysis of your sleep quality, helping you better understand your sleep patterns and develop better habits. These added metrics include movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate during sleep and respiration rate, in addition to previously supported metrics such as snoring duration, blood oxygen levels and sleep cycles.
The all-new fitness feature offers intelligent and effortless physical performance measurements for more customized training, previously only available on advanced equipment. In addition to five running intensity levels with personalized health rate zones, the new detailed Aerobic Threshold (AT) / Anaerobic Threshold (AnT) heart rate zone5 metrics support efficient running while quickly analyzing your performance. In addition, cyclists can easily calculate Functional Threshold Power (FTP) metrics in just 10 minutes and train like a pro with the personalized power index based on AI data analysis to maximize performance. Fitness tracking tools also allow you to track your workouts and progress more conveniently. The new workout routines allow you to combine different exercises for personalized workouts and seamlessly transition from one exercise to the next without stopping. Compare your current performance to your past performance on the same route with Race7 to stay motivated and track your progress while running or cycling.
“By extending the power of Galaxy AI across our ecosystem, we hope to open up new possibilities to provide users with more personalization and intelligence in an optimized connected experience,” said Junho Park, VP and head of the Galaxy Ecosystem Product Planning Team, MX Business, Samsung Electronics. “The introduction of Galaxy AI on the Galaxy Watch is just the beginning of this process, and we are excited to introduce even more integrations across the Galaxy portfolio in the near future.”
These new features will be available on the upcoming Galaxy Watch lineup via the One UI 6 Watch launching later this year. Starting in June, a limited number of Galaxy Watch users will have early access to Beta Program 8. This is just a taste of what we have in store for our users. We can't wait to show you the full power of Galaxy AI integrated with advanced hardware upgrades in the new Galaxy Watch series. Stay tuned for more updates.

With the cycling power meter attached to your bike, cycling at moderate to high intensity for at least 4 minutes will automatically calculate your FTP. Using machine learning, the more frequently a user cycles, the more accurate and personalized FTP values are calculated. Cycling power meter sold separately. Traditional FTP analysis time on professional equipment averages up to 1 hour.
