Users can now monitor their energy levels with Samsung Health’s new energy score feature. It is also said to offer sleep insights such as heart rate and breathing rate during sleep, as well as an analysis of the quality of the user’s sleep cycle.
Users can now also combine different exercises and set goals, Samsung claims. All of these features are powered by Galaxy AI.
Improved controls
Besides AI-powered features, the One UI 6 Watch Beta is also said to introduce better ways to interact with the Galaxy Watch. Users can now swipe horizontally and quickly scroll through notifications.
A new double-pinch action – activated by pinching the thumb and index finger together twice – is also being introduced. This simple gesture allows users to perform actions such as answering calls, disabling alarms, scrolling through notifications, taking photos and more, according to Samsung.
Other actions, such as going back with a flick of the wrist and tapping the bottom of the screen to view a list of activities, are also integrated.
Samsung says users can now control certain features of the Galaxy Watch, such as do not disturb, always-on display and raise wrist to wake, with modes. The One UI 6 Watch Beta also introduces an option to customize notifications, so users receive alerts from the apps they choose.
Other possibilities
With One UI 6, users can now save images sent as attachments in messages, and frequently used emojis can be set as favorites for quick access. A new default font is also being introduced, with a “more stylish and modern look and feel.” Samsung says users can make their Galaxy Watch last even longer by turning off certain health features.
When Bluetooth devices are available and paired, the Galaxy Watch will automatically connect to these devices to play music.
