Health is definitely the new battlefield of Wearable. If Samsung has not announced a new ring connected after its Galaxy ring, the brand, however, accelerates in the welfare and health aspects of its connected watches. During his Wednesday conference in New York, the South Korean giant presented two new watches in addition to its folding smartphones: the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
The first looks a newly finest appearance, a round marking design and more square box with rounded angles (available in 40 or 44 mm) and a new bracelet fixing system. The Watch 8 Classic (46 mm) is rightly called with its rotary crown and its appearance, which remembers traditional watches. But Samsung’s is enriched with an action button, to configure a specific action in shortened (torch, activity launch, access access, etc.), to complete the commands. The screen is also modernized and the text widens.
A clue to know if you get older
But it is especially inside that Samsung multiplies new products, with the arrival of additional sensors. These will allow a better monitoring of many points and, in particular, judging the condition of their skin, with an estimate of premature aging. And for that, here is the antioxidant index. For the first time in the world, a clock will measure in five seconds (inch in the sensor on the back) the carotenoid rate of its skin (the supply of fruits and vegetables).
You will have an idea of your antioxidant level, these molecules that fight against bad habits that accelerate aging (tobacco, stress, alcohol, poor diet, etc.). The Galaxy Watch 8 will issue a verdict and possibly advise you on the need to increase your daily consumption by antioxidant.
There is also a reinforced sleep monitoring with an intelligent sleep coach. He will analyze his last three nights, he will see on his wrist and then recommend the ideal time to bed according to his rhythm of life and his planned vigil time. In the morning, a sleep score is provided with advice to improve it.
If your room is equipped with connected devices (connected sleep carpet, temperature or humidity sensor, air quality, snoring monitoring, etc.), they can be taken into account in the analysis.
The vascular load is one of the new functions offered in the two watches. As with sleep monitoring, after three nights of study, the Galaxy Watch 8 can inform you about the impact that your lifestyle on your cardiovascular health and the risks of heart disease. From the Samsung Health application, you can also be calm and know that everything is fine, with advice. Cardiovascular monitoring remains present with alerts in case of a heart rate that is too high or too low, the detection of arrhythmia, blood pressure and ECG.
Health and welfare in force
The coach running is the last ally of well -being to make his appearance. You will develop a personalized program for you after having a 12 -minute effort test. The Galaxy Watch 8 evaluates its level (from 1 to 10) to adjust an adapted training plan. Each session that will follow will be completed by a detailed report in its progress. To this is added complete monitoring of performance (Max VO2 measurement, speed, number of steps, time, etc.).
In general, Samsung has improved all its algorithms, especially for stress management, with many more breathing and meditation exercises that are offered as soon as a high threshold is detected. The state of your metabolism is improved, with personalized recommendations in life and food. And the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic can also count on Gemini’s help, which is now on board. Google’s AI will enrich data processing, facilitate the launch of the sports session and its analysis, while allowing the vocal management of the clock.
Samsung progresses rapidly in his search for being the most efficient about his health. Certain functions remain available only for Samsung Galaxy smartphone owners (ECG score, arrhythmia, sleep apnea, etc.). But most functions can be accessible from the Samsung Health application, even in iOS. Therefore, the Asian manufacturer remains faithful to its management line: to provide the user with a simple, precise and scientific medium, to follow their health and take it in hand to improve their well -being.
