The BioActive Sensor uses a single unique chip that combines three powerful health sensors – Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart Signal, and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis – to deliver extensive readings that include heart rate, blood oxygen level, and even stress level. In addition, users can get a deeper understanding of their heart health by monitoring ECG – right from their wrist.
The Body Composition measurement tool available on the Watch 5 provides a complete snapshot of the user’s overall health, providing them with a tailored approach to set goals, guide them through personalized workouts, and track progress.
And when it’s time to rest, the Galaxy Watch 5 series empowers users with recovery data, including post-cardio heart rate after an intense workout, and customized recommendations on water consumption based on sweat loss. You will also see a better night’s sleep mode to monitor stages of sleep, along with snore detection and blood oxygen levels.
Thanks to SmartThings integration, the Galaxy Watch 5 automatically sets connected lights, AC units, and TVs to predetermined settings that make for an ideal sleep environment. The enhanced fall detection is also there.
