Here are some of the features you can look forward to.

Get Help With Advanced Fall Detection Whether You Are Moving or Standing Still

Coming to Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Watch3, the new update gives you the option to select a higher Fall Detection’s sensitivity – you can even choose to detect a fall when you are standing still. Once a fall is detected, your watch will send an SOS notification to pre-selected contacts, helping ensure that the wearer can receive the assistance they need as soon as possible. This makes it easier to keep both yourself and your more vulnerable loved ones safe.[2]

Keep track of your own place in the competition or see how you’re performing as a team – all from your wrist.

Plus, with Smart Reply, you are provided a suggested response⁴ for both messages and images, with advanced photo recognition technology, so you can send a reply, even when you are in a hurry.
