																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Feeling pressure to plunge into ice baths or stock up on supplements to “optimize” your life?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Biohacking is about turning personal health data into micro-upgrades that boost wellness and longevity. Early biohackers might have chased these gains with extreme diets, supplements and experimental techniques. But if you scroll your social feed today, tech leads the conversation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Within this tech-driven movement is the Galaxy Watch8 series.</strong> Seamlessly integrating into your daily routine, it quietly tracks key lifestyle metrics so you can see how the choices you make throughout the day impact your health<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before we dive in, let’s do a quick check-in: <em>how many of these biohacks are already part of your routine?</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h3>Optimize Your Sleep with Biohacking</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12544" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture2-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture2-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture2.jpg 1379w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We spend about 30% of our lives asleep, yet irregular schedules and sub-optimal environments still undermine rest. The Galaxy Watch8 series optimizes sleep by analyzing your sleep patterns and environment, identifying issues, and giving actionable tips to help build consistent, restorative sleep habits<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>How can I follow a regular sleep schedule?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wear Galaxy Watch8 for three nights to unlock <strong>Bedtime Guidance. </strong><sup>3</sup>It analyzes your sleep patterns and recommend the best times to wind down, based on your sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, helping you reset your sleep schedule and maximize alertness during the day.</p>
<h4></h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>How can I improve my sleep quality?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch8 tracks every toss, turn and breath of your night. Each morning you get an in-depth sleep analysis based on your sleep stages, heart rate, skin temperature and oxygen level, highlighting what helped or hindered your rest. You can also access a <strong>Sleep Environment Report </strong>which leverages data from your other SmartThings devices to analyze temperature, humidity, CO2 and illuminance<sup>4</sup>. With this data at your fingertips, you can easily optimize your room conditions for a better night’s sleep.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What can I do during the day to improve my sleep?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once your sleep patterns are defined, <strong>Sleep Coaching</strong><sup>5</sup> assigns you a Sleep Animal and delivers personalized tips like adding a quick meditation session or skipping late-day caffeine. With Galaxy Watch8, small, daily habit upgrades are easy, and better nights are within reach.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Optimize Your Workouts with Biohacking</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12543" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture3-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture3-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture3-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture3.jpg 1379w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some people train for marathons. Others just want to feel less stiff after sitting all day. So how do you reach your goals while staying motivated and avoiding injury? The Galaxy Watch8 series gives you all the answers, all while sitting snugly on your wrist thanks to its sleek design and dynamic lug system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How do I set the ideal fitness goal for me?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch8’s built-in <strong>Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sensor</strong><sup>6</sup> measures your body fat percentage, body-water content and skeletal muscle mass, so you get a comprehensive snapshot of your body. These insights help you create a personalized training plan and track every step of your progress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How can I start running more consistently?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Start with <strong>Running Coach</strong><sup>7</sup> which analyzes your pace and fitness level after just a 12-minute run to build a custom routine. It also keeps you motivated during your runs with real-time feedback, helping you to reach your goals. Worried about potential injury? Running Coach provides tailored training programs at the ideal intensity, helping you gain speed safely.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How can I maximize recovery after training?</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Health gives you the tools for optimal post-workout recovery. Check your heart rate after an intense workout and get recommendations on water intake based on sweat loss, so you can get the rest you need to come back stronger.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>[Bonus Tip]</strong> Try Zone 2<sup>8</sup> interval training, known to help improve endurance and boost fat burning potential. Galaxy Watch8 sets personalized <strong>Heart Rate Zones</strong> based on your fitness level to help you stay within your personal HR Zone 2 for peak results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Optimize Your Nutrition with Biohacking</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-12542" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture4-845x563.jpg" alt="" width="845" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture4-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture4-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture4-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Picture4.jpg 1379w" sizes="(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now that sleep and activity are under control, turn to the everyday habits that drive healthy aging. The Galaxy Watch8 series tracks antioxidant levels, giving you a real-time view of your cellular health and how each lifestyle choice shapes it. Just put your thumb on the back sensor to get <strong>Instant Nutritional Feedback </strong>that used to require lab tests.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>How do I know if I’m eating enough fruits and vegetables?</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Use the <strong>Antioxidant Index</strong><sup>9</sup> to see how your diet and lifestyle habits can impact you. Within just five seconds, it measures the carotenoids — natural antioxidants from fruits and veggies — stored in your skin and provides a score out of 100. It also offers tips to boost your score, like adding more colourful produce such as carrots, broccoli and oranges to your meals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>How can I cut down on unhealthy habits?</strong></h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First, we must learn more about how our bodies are affected by these unhealthy habits. Your <strong>Energy Score<sup>10</sup></strong> provides insights on how factors such as alcohol intake and late-night snacking affect your health, while Antioxidant Index directly shows the impact of these habits — motivating you to change your ways and adopt a healthier lifestyle.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>How can I easily track my water intake?</strong></h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Proper hydration is essential for performing at your best, but it is often difficult to track. With Samsung Health, you can track your water intake with just a tap and set a daily hydration goal. Galaxy Watch8 will handle the rest by sending personalized reminders and monitoring trends, making it effortless to stay on top of your game.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Watch8 series turns biohacking from buzzword to habit — personal, actionable and effortless. Wear it, watch the insights roll in, and let better health become second nature.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Navigating today&#8217;s scattered health data may hinder our ability to build healthy habits and prioritize long-term wellbeing. So how do we take back control?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Powered by Samsung’s innovative sensor technology, the new Galaxy Watch8 series<sup>1</sup> provides a holistic, real-time overview of our health. It provides clear, insights based on your lifestyle patterns to help you understand your body and mind more deeply, build healthy habits and help monitor for heart beat irregularities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Monitor your Heart Health</h3>
<p>With new heart metrics, Galaxy Watch8 series spots the potential for health issues sooner and allows you to monitor your heart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Irregular Heart Beat Detection: </strong>Galaxy Watch8 series’ enhanced Electrocardiogram (ECG)<sup>2</sup> and the Samsung Health Monitor app can detect irregular rhythms. Galaxy Watch8 series provides ECG measurement with the ability to differentiate instances of irregular rhythms providing insights on your heart.</li>
<li><strong>Vascular Load<sup>3</sup>: </strong>While you sleep, Galaxy Watch8 series’ reads Photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveforms – optical signals associated with blood flow during sleep. It measures blood volume and vascular stiffness and analyzes changes in stress on blood vessels. Because diet, stress, and rest all affect this metric, regular monitoring can show which habits to fine-tune.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Lifestyle Changes Motivated by Sensor-Driven Insights </strong></h3>
<p>The Galaxy Watch8 series’ advanced sensor now gives you more insights for your nutrition and sleep patterns to steer you towards lasting, sustainable habits:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Antioxidant Index<sup>4</sup>: </strong>The Galaxy Watch8 series shines a light on your daily choices. The BioActive Sensor measures skin carotenoids in five seconds using multi-wavelength absorption spectroscopy. After analyzing these carotenoids, an antioxidant which reflects fruit and vegetable intake, you are given a score of 0–100, which is categorized into one of three levels. This score shows how diet, UV light, alcohol and stress are impacting your antioxidant levels. With insufficient fruit and vegetable intake linked to major health risks, this non-invasive metric offers meaningful insight and can lead to making healthier choices.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bedtime Guidance<sup>5</sup>:</strong> Leveraging the science behind the two-process model of sleep regulation, the Galaxy Watch8 series tracks your circadian rhythm (internal body clock) and sleep pressure (how much your body needs sleep), over three days. It then interprets this data as a differential equation to calculate the optimal bedtime for waking up refreshed. The algorithm uses changes in sleep threshold and individual sleep needs throughout the day to deliver personalized guidance. Developed by Korea Advanced Institute of Science &amp; Technology (KAIST), this feature helps build healthier sleep routines that lead to deeper, less interrupted sleep and more energized mornings.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pioneering the Next Era of Monitoring your Health</strong></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s latest sensor innovation on the new Galaxy Watch8 series helps unify your patterns, expose hidden risks, and deliver real-time actionable insights.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-12354 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Samsung-Mobile-Galaxy-Unpacked-July-2025-Galaxy-Watch8-Series-Classic-Ultra-Comfort-PR_dl1-e1752072487125.jpg" alt="" width="1440" height="1044" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</strong> today introduced <strong>Galaxy Watch8</strong> and <strong>Galaxy Watch8 Classic<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a></strong>, establishing an iconic design identity across the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. Building upon the foundation of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s cushion design, this series boasts the thinnest, most comfortable Galaxy Watch yet<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a> for continuous health tracking. The Galaxy Watch8 series suits diverse lifestyles and provides advanced capabilities, setting a new standard for style and personalized health experiences.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We are committed to empowering billions of people to live healthier lives through our innovative technology,” said TM Roh,<strong> President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics.</strong> “By combining purposeful design with advanced sensor technology and an intuitive AI-powered experience, the Galaxy Watch8 series serves as a starting point for a healthier, more connected life, making it easier than ever to take meaningful steps toward users’ well-being.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong>Redesigned Inside and Out for Ultimate Wellness</strong></h3>
<p>By reimagining both form and function, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers unmatched comfort alongside powerful performance, making it the ultimate companion for everyday wellness. <span>The</span> distinctive cushion design, which debuted with Galaxy Watch Ultra, now defines the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. To achieve the thinnest design yet, the internal structure of Galaxy Watch8 was completely reengineered and its component mounting capability was improved, resulting in an 11% thinner design<span>2</span>. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, this design moves naturally with the wrist, providing greater comfort and improved stability<sup>2</sup> for a better fit and enhanced health-tracking accuracy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Galaxy Watch8’s sleek profile is complemented by its exceptional performance. Even when you are outdoors under bright sunlight, the display is brighter<sup>2</sup> with a peak brightness of 3,000nits for easy visibility, and powerful battery<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3"><span>[3]</span></a> means the watch can keep up with an active lifestyle. Moreover, the dual-frequency GPS provides detailed and precise location results while our powerful 3nm processor delivers fast performance and great power efficiency. With the groundbreaking BioActive Sensor that enables deeper and more accurate health insights, the Galaxy Watch8 series helps provide a holistic view of your health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Motivation for Lasting Health Changes</strong></h3>
<p>Sleep is a window into your overall health and each restful night allows your body and mind to recover immediately the very next day. That’s why Samsung is continuously advancing the sleep experience, offering tailored sleep coaching, helping to create an optimal sleep environment, and even detecting moderate to severe signs of sleep apnea. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch8 series comes with <a href="https://www.samsungmobilepress.com/feature-stories/great-health-can-happen-overnight-with-galaxy-watch/">new unique health features</a> on the Samsung Health app<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4"><span>[4]</span></a> that help you build healthier habits through instant, motivational insights – from sleep to nutrition and workout.</p>
