Samsung’s Galaxy AI comes to Galaxy Watches with One UI 6 Watch
Samsung unveiled its Galaxy AI suite in January with the Galaxy S24 series. The South Korean brand’s on-device, cloud-based AI model has made its way into previous-generation flagship smartphones and tablets in recent months. Now, Samsung is adding Galaxy AI to its wearables. The Galaxy AI features will be added to the Samsung Health app and Galaxy Watches later this year, and will offer a variety of features to monitor and analyze health metrics.
On Wednesday (May 29), Samsung announced Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. has announced that it will be bringing Galaxy AI features to its smartwatches via its Wear OS-based One UI 6 Watch software later this year. A limited number of Galaxy Watches will get the beta version in June. Users of the Galaxy Watch 6, Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, Galaxy Watch 4, and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic in the U.S. and Canada will be able to test out Galaxy AI features via the Samsung Members app next month.
This is what Galaxy AI brings to the Galaxy Watch
Samsung claims that combining Galaxy AI with Samsung Health will offer more comprehensive health insights and motivate users to achieve daily wellness. The brand is providing insight into the AI-powered features coming to the Galaxy Watch and these include Energy Score, Wellness Tips, Sleep Insights, Aerobic Threshold (AT)/Anaerobic Threshold (AnT) Heart Rate Zone, Functional Threshold Power (FTP), Workout Routine, Race and more. These advanced features will work in conjunction with the Samsung Health app.
Energy Score shows the wearer’s daily fitness through a combined analysis of personal health metrics including average sleep time, sleep time consistency, bed/wake time consistency, sleep timing, previous day’s activity, heart rate during sleep, and heart rate variability. Wellness Tips provide insights based on specific health goals, while Sleep Insights offers detailed sleep quality analysis by measuring sleep latency, heart rate, sleep breathing rate, snoring, and more to understand sleep patterns and build better habits.
The One UI 6 Watch update brings AT/AnT Heart Rate Zone metrics to Galaxy Watches to show running performance. Meanwhile, new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) metrics will benefit cyclists. There’s also the Workout Routine, which combines different exercises for a personalized workout, while Race helps track current and past progress during your run or cycle.
