Innovative Health Features
Among the notable innovations is the
Vascular Load feature, which monitors cardiovascular health during sleep by tracking the stress placed on blood vessels. The watch integrates this data with other lifestyle metrics such as sleep duration and activity levels to present users with a comprehensive view of their health.
In a groundbreaking move, the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 series introduces the
Antioxidant Index measurement. This feature allows users to evaluate their internal carotenoid levels—indicating the health of their diet—simply by pressing a finger on the watch's BioActive sensor for five seconds. Color-coded results help users make informed dietary choices, promoting a healthier lifestyle.
Enhanced AI Functionality
Samsung has also elevated the user experience with the introduction of
multimodal AI and
One UI 8 Watch. With the integration of Google's AI assistant, Gemini, users can multitask more efficiently through voice commands, even while engaged in activities such as workouts. For example, users can instruct their watch to initiate a 30-minute run, and Samsung Health will automatically begin tracking the session.
The redesigned One UI 8 Watch optimizes the user interface for a compact display, making it easy to access essential information swiftly and navigate through apps comfortably.
Ultimate Outdoor Experience
For adventure enthusiasts, the
Galaxy Watch Ultra is presented as the ultimate outdoor companion. It boasts the longest battery life in the Galaxy Watch series, enhanced performance features, and increased storage capacity of
64GB. This model is tailored for rugged use and equipped to withstand the demands of outdoor activities, making it a reliable choice for explorers.
Accessories and Promotion
In addition to the watches, Samsung is also offering new accessories available for pre-order now, including a variety of bands suited for fashion and function.
To celebrate the launch, Samsung is running a promotional campaign, allowing customers to purchase the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch Ultra at discounted rates through the online store and select locations. The campaign lasts throughout the promotional period, encouraging early adaptations to these innovative devices.
