What’s New in Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Series?
Advanced Health Monitoring Features
One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series is the
vascular load measurement function. This innovative feature monitors the stress your vascular system endures while you sleep, allowing users to gain insights into their overall health by analyzing sleep duration, physical activity, and stress levels. To take advantage of this feature, the watch must be worn during sleep for at least three nights within a 14-day period.
Moreover, for the first time in any smartwatch, the
oxidation index measurement technology is integrated into the Galaxy Watch8 series. The BioActive sensor on the watch's back allows users to measure their carotenoid levels by simply placing their thumb on it for five seconds, providing an easy and intuitive way to monitor your health. The watch even highlights the importance of a healthy diet with an indicator that suggests sufficient intake of carotenoids.

The Galaxy Watch8 series is powered by Google’s
Gemini AI, enabling seamless voice interaction even when hands are busy. Whether users are finding nearby cafes or starting a workout, voice commands facilitate a smooth daily experience. The new
