Earlier this year, Samsung ushered in the era of mobile AI with the launch of the Galaxy S24 series and committed to introducing Galaxy AI1 on a larger number of devices. True to this promise, Samsung is now bringing Galaxy AI to the Galaxy Watch, improving its popular health features. By combining powerful on-device AI with the comprehensive Samsung Health app, Samsung is on track to build some of the most personalized and secure health experiences yet.

5 Heart rate zone personalization enabled when selecting outdoor running activity. It is required to run consistently for more than 10 minutes at a speed of 4 km/h or faster.
6 To measure personalized FTP, the Galaxy smartphone must be connected to a power meter. To calculate a more accurate FTP, it is necessary to connect the Galaxy Watch to a smartphone. The FTP is automatically calculated when you cycle at a medium to high intensity for more than 4 minutes with the cycling power meter attached to your bicycle. Using machine learning, the more users ride repeatedly, the more accurate and personalized FTP values will be calculated. The bicycle power meter is sold separately. The traditional duration of the FTP analysis on professional equipment is on average a maximum of 1 hour.
7 Race is only available for outdoor running and outdoor cycling. For comparative measurements it is necessary to follow the same path as the pre-generated path. Users can compare by selecting any of the records from a time frame of up to 14 days ago. Comparing records during the Race is only possible if you start at the same location as the starting point of the previous record. If the starting points deviate, it will automatically be converted to running mode.
