Samsung today introduced One UI 5 Watch, which will be available for Galaxy Watch devices later this year. The new software is designed to bring a more personalized and intuitive health experience and includes improvements that promote better sleep, as well as various fitness and security features.

Sleep better: Essential for health

Samsung has focused its efforts on three key elements for better sleep: understanding personal sleep patterns, creating healthy habits, and establishing a sleep-friendly environment. One UI 5 Watch offers these elements with an even more complete sleep experience. The new Sleep Insights user interface displays the user’s sleep score to provide a clearer picture of the previous night’s sleep, followed by related metrics such as sleep stages, snoring hours, and blood oxygen levels.

Additionally, Sleep Coaching (tailored to eight different types of sleep) is available directly on the Galaxy Watch, as well as on a paired phone, providing a more convenient and motivating way for users to track their habits. Anytime, anywhere. Creating a comfortable environment can make a difference in the quality of your sleep, and even small distractions can have a big impact. That’s why Samsung has made it easy to connect the Galaxy Watch to a wide range of devices. Once the user’s Galaxy Watch detects that they have fallen asleep, the SmartThings feature allows them to turn off their connected devices to create a more sleep-friendly environment. Sleep Mode quickly silences notifications and dims the user’s phone and watch displays, and One UI 5 Watch expands on this feature by now using an infrared sensor instead of a green LED light to further minimize distractions.

A smarter fitness partner

The Personalized Heart Rate Zone has been added to the Galaxy Watch’s various running tools, including real-time running analysis and a personalized interval training program. This new feature analyzes individual physical capabilities and sets five optimal training intensity levels (warm-up, fat burning, cardio, hard training, and max effort). This allows users to set their own goals based on their ability, from burning fat to high-impact cardio.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy additional benefits, starting with the Galaxy Watch Pro, thanks to expanded route training, enabling running and walking thanks to previously available hiking and cycling route options. Galaxy Watch Pro users can also search and access the database of GPX files directly through the Samsung Health app, and receive recommendations for new routes based on data such as location, weather, ranking or popularity.

Safety first, but always active

Security is a must when it comes to health and wellness, and One UI 5 Watch also offers enhanced tools for added peace of mind. SOS feature upgrades allow direct communication with an emergency phone number to relay user location information, and also allow immediate access to medical information once an SOS is activated. Additionally, fall detection is now enabled by default for older users to help reduce the risk of emergencies. These are just some of the examples of Samsung’s continuous efforts to improve user security.
