DST Takes a Toll on Sleep, With Younger Generations Most Disrupted

When looking into how much of an impact DST has on people the morning after, one thing is clear, everyone’s sleep patterns are thrown off. In fact, people spent a little too much time counting sheep the night of the time change, falling asleep 33 minutes later than the previous night, waking up 19 minutes earlier. While losing sleep isn’t easy at any age, those in their 20s likely felt it the most thanks to an extremely late bedtime and a seeming inability to sleep in.

Moreover, Sleep Score — calculated based on an evaluation of a users’ total sleep time, awake time, sleep cycle, plus physical and mental recovery — was at the worst level for weeks after DST — and again, people in their 20s appeared to be most affected. When examining in the seven-day Sleep Score average, the 20s age group demonstrated the slowest score recovery rate, while older age groups adapted much quicker. By the third week, Sleep Score for all age groups were still not stable as normal, showing fluctuations in the quality of a good night’s rest.

Useful Tips To Help You Get a Good Night’s Sleep and a Quicker Recovery

The transition into DST clearly affects the sleep patterns of all age groups long after the clocks change, but for younger generations, prioritizing sleep management during this time couldn’t be more important. In recognition of World Sleep Day, Samsung is sharing useful tips that make understanding your sleep patterns and habits as seamless and effortless as possible for a better night’s rest.

• Creating an ideal sleep environment is critical to a good night’s sleep. Later this month, Samsung Health app update² will make this possible by providing guidance and analysis on the key factors that influence sleep quality, including temperature, humidity, CO₂ and illuminance via a Sleep Environment Report³ — leveraging SmartThings and the power of Samsung’s extensive device ecosystem. With a better understanding of how your environment affects sleep, easily optimize your room conditions for an improved night’s rest.
• In addition to perfecting your sleep environment, understanding how activity can impact energy level is key. Samsung Health app updates also bring enhancements to Energy Score,⁴ which provides an indicator of how much energy users can expend throughout the day. In addition to sleep and heart rate, a new detailed factor about activity — Activity Consistency — will help you understand your overall condition in greater detail by evaluating your activity levels over the past four weeks.
• It’s also important to understand how you’re sleeping and make necessary adjustments through sleep training. Sleep Coaching makes this simple by seamlessly tracking your sleep patterns over 7 days and assigning a sleep animal based on the results. With a personalized coaching program, develop healthy habits and routines that set you on a positive path to achieving your sleep goals.

World Sleep Day serves as an important reminder of the importance of sleep. With the latest Samsung Health app updates and the Galaxy ecosystem, Samsung remains committed to helping users optimize their sleep and lead healthier, more balanced life.

The Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 can be paired with a range of interchangeable band accessories, designed to each user’s unique needs and preferences. Samsung Newsroom has curated a selection of Galaxy Watch bands that enrich every moment from navigating daily life to embarking on extreme adventures.

Galaxy Watch Ultra Bands: Made for Outdoor Experiences

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the most powerful Galaxy Watch. Optimized for extreme conditions, the Galaxy Watch Ultra takes outdoor experiences to the next level through a variety of bands — Marine Band, Trail Band and PeakForm Band — suited to different activities and environments.

Changing bands has never been easier. For the first time, Samsung has introduced the Dynamic Lug System to improve the connection between the watch body and band. This mechanism is intuitive and convenient, allowing for effortless band removal and attachment with a simple press of a button. Not to mention, the watch body and band seamlessly connect to elevate overall aesthetics.

Marine Band: Unmatched Durability in Water

For those looking to time their swims with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Marine Band is an excellent choice. This band is specifically engineered to support aquatic activities with a breathable wavelike design and perforations for quick drying and a comfortable fit.

▲ The Marine Band offers improved breathability and durability for more freedom in the water.

Made to withstand intense movement, the Marine Band features a lightweight and durable titanium buckle that incorporates a “double tongue” with two teeth for a stronger hold on the band. This structure ensures that the Galaxy Watch Ultra remains secure and performs optimally whether in the water or challenging outdoor environments.

Trail Band: The Ultimate Running Mate

Recommended for running, hiking and other active sports, the Trail Band weighs around 20 grams. The comfortable, wavy design of the fabric minimizes skin contact to ensure the band feels pleasant even when sweating. Moreover, the elastic band keeps the watch body secure on the wrist for more accurate workout tracking.

▲ (From left) The Trail Band’s triangular latch and hook

The Trail Band offers a new buckle construction that combines a triangular latch and hook — allowing users to precisely adjust the fit by removing the latch, threading it through the holes on the side of the band and securing it with the hook. This design ensures that the hook does not come into direct contact with the skin for a comfortable workout free of snags.

PeakForm Band: A Hybrid of Strength and Comfort

Those seeking a stylish accessory during workouts and daily activities can look to the PeakForm Band. This versatile hybrid band combines robustness with a sleek design and accentuates the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s premium look.

Notably, the PeakForm Band uses different materials on the exterior and interior surfaces. The exterior features a tightly woven fabric, whereas the interior is made of durable Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR). This material is resistant to water and dirt for an optimal wearing experience that does not compromise style or mobility.

Galaxy Watch7: Reimaging Everyday Elegance With Detailed Bands

In addition to helping users stay on top of their health, the Galaxy Watch7 can transform into a fashion accessory when paired with a band that reflects the user’s personal style.

The Galaxy Watch7’s one-click band design supports effortless swapping to suit various lifestyles. The available bands¹ — Sport Band, Fabric Band and Athleisure Band — are designed to complement different activities from working out to sleeping.

▲ (From left) Sport Band, Fabric Band and Athleisure Band for the Galaxy Watch7

Sport Band: A Workout Partner

The Sport Band is the perfect accessory for a wide range of sports and activities with the Galaxy Watch7. Crafted from durable HNBR material, the band has a wavy design for breathability and comfort — suitable for even the sweatiest of workouts.

▲ Stitching details on the Galaxy Watch7 Sport Band

Despite the focus on functionality, the band’s aesthetics have not been overlooked. The orange and light blue stitching at the end of the band adds a subtle yet stylish touch. Moreover, the band is available in a diverse palette of colors² including cream, dark gray, green, orange and silver.

Fabric Band: Effortlessly Light Even When Asleep

The Fabric Band is perfect for users who wear their Galaxy Watch7 to sleep. Weighing about 10 grams,³ the band boasts a soft fabric texture and lightweight design for versatile wear all day and night.

▲ The Fabric Band has a Velcro strap that is simple to fasten and remove.

A standout feature of the Fabric Band is the Velcro material, offering both easy adjustment and exceptional comfort. Without the bulk of a traditional buckle, the band feels lighter and more streamlined on the wrist. Subtle accent details at the ends enhance the design and showcase the fabric’s distinctive qualities.

Athleisure Band: Style and Activity in One

The newest addition to the Galaxy Watch series, the Athleisure Band is characterized by its distinctive double-loop design. This feature ensures a secure and flattering fit by allowing the extra length of the band to be tucked away through the loops. Available in a range of five colors⁴ — including green, cream, pink, silver and sky blue — the band serves as both a functional accessory and stylish statement piece.

▲ The Athleisure Band boasts a double-loop design.

Utilizing the same HNBR material as the Sport Band and PeakForm Band, the Athleisure Band blends softness with durability and comfort with style to create a distinct look for any occasion.

The band is essential to fully experiencing all the capabilities of the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7. Alongside the Galaxy Watch series, the bands have evolved to offer a wider array of customization options. Now with these new bands, users can unlock their potential and maximize the advanced features of the Galaxy Watch in their daily lives.

The launch of the premium Galaxy Watch Ultra and the Galaxy Watch7, with advanced health monitoring tools, signifies Samsung Electronics’ commitment to showcasing the endless possibilities that can be worn on users’ wrists.

Samsung Newsroom met with Scott Yu and Elin Park from the Wearable Product Planning Group, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics, to discuss how these products were formed.

The Birth of a Super-Powered AI Watch Engineered for Extremes

Q. What was the process behind planning the Galaxy Watch Ultra?

Yu: The Galaxy Watch Ultra is a new super-premium addition to our Galaxy Watch lineup. Through various studies, we identified significant growth potential in the premium market and made our first steps into this segment. The Galaxy Watch Ultra was developed with durability and advanced AI capabilities to deliver next-level outdoor experiences.

▲ Scott Yu

Q. How did the approach differ when tailoring the features for outdoor sports compared to those for daily healthcare?

Park: We wanted to find a solution that would satisfy everyone, from casual users to athletic amateurs and professionals looking to improve their fitness levels. Initially, we focused on the most popular exercises such as running, cycling and swimming while taking note of various use cases to enhance the related features. Interestingly, we discovered that many people alternate between two or three types of exercises instead of sticking to one. This insight inspired us to introduce Multi-sports tiles — a feature that allows users to customize their workout combinations and measure the results of different workouts including duathlons and triathlons.

▲ Elin Park

Q. How has Galaxy AI affected planning the Galaxy Watch series?

Yu: We contemplated how the wearables could serve as a medium for delivering AI experiences in the Galaxy ecosystem. By collaborating with relevant departments, we honed in on combining the capabilities of Galaxy smartphones and watches to maximize AI functionalities. For example, functional threshold power (FTP)¹ measures users’ maximum cycling power based on heart rate monitoring and AI-powered metrics to enable users to unlock full potential. In addition, the Galaxy Watch leverages AI algorithms to continuously track sleep data and offer advanced sleep insights.

Park: Galaxy AI will open a lot of possibilities for users. One feature I would like to highlight is Energy Score² — available on both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7. Galaxy AI analyzes various health indicators, including sleep and activity data, and provides scores reflecting overall energy levels that help users understand their bodies more intuitively and accurately.

Striving for Optimal Usability and Comfort

Q. What was the biggest challenge in designing the new watches?

Park: For the first time, the Galaxy Watch Ultra features a Quick Button — representing the culmination of consideration around different user scenarios and actions needed to operate the device. By quickly pressing once or twice, users can access their most used functions. In urgent situations, holding the button for five seconds will activate an up to 86-decibel Emergency Siren that can be heard up to 180 meters away. Adding a new element was a significant change that required constant communication and collaboration among the mechanical, design and hardware teams.

▲ Quick Button on the Galaxy Watch Ultra

Q. Apart from the Quick Button, what aspects of the exterior design were prioritized for the Galaxy Watch Ultra?

Yu: The Galaxy Watch Ultra has a new cushion design that echoes the signature circular design from the original Galaxy Watch series. Moreover, the design incorporates aspects from traditional watches while providing robust protection for peace of mind in any environment.

Park: The Galaxy Watch Ultra comes with multiple watch bands for maximum comfort. Using a new, simplified Dynamic Lug System, the bands can be easily attached and swapped to suit different outdoor activities.

▲ (From left) Scott Yu and Elin Park highlight the latest features of the new Galaxy Watch devices.

Q. What has been the most memorable feedback since the products launched?

Yu: The Galaxy Watch Ultra stays true to its core principles — one of which is advanced haptics. This technology enhances the tactile sensation users experience when interacting with the touchscreen and makes the display feel smoother and more responsive. I’m pleased to see that many people have noticed this improvement. The product can only be fully appreciated when worn, and I hope that many people will have the opportunity to experience it.

Park: “Finally!” was the most gratifying review. We received numerous compliments from consumers and tech experts about the improved product quality. I’m relieved that everyone’s hard work finally came to fruition, and I feel incredibly grateful to know that many people appreciate the latest wearables.

The Future, Redefined by the Galaxy Watch Series

Q. In one word or sentence, how would you describe the new Galaxy Watches?

Yu: Sincerity was our top priority. We wanted to build a smartwatch that brings us closer to the consumer with sincerity. Planning and developing a product is like orchestrating a symphony performance — everyone puts their heart and soul into the process, even the parts you cannot see. The result is a remarkable piece of work. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the development and design teams as well as everyone else who worked so hard to launch the products.

Park: For me, it would be “turning point.” Both the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch7 represent a big change in the history of the Galaxy Watch. We’ve continuously evolved the beloved Galaxy Watch with its modern and minimalist design. Now, we’re taking a step further by introducing a model with a specific purpose — like the Galaxy Watch Ultra. This is a major turning point in how we respond to various markets.

▲ (From left) Scott Yu and Elin Park pose for a photo with the latest Galaxy Watch models.

Q. What’s next for the Galaxy Watch?

Yu: We want to focus more on the AI capabilities. By integrating a range of Galaxy AI features into the Galaxy Watch series, we try to provide an enhanced digital health experience and more personalized insights to users.

Park: There is still room for improvement in the health solution space, so we want to take it one step at a time. We’re working on a number of developments and constantly updating existing models to ensure an optimal user experience. I hope we can share our excitement for the future of the Galaxy Watch to our users.

The latest Galaxy Watches have pushed beyond their limits with consistent and authentic innovation. Samsung looks forward to the evolution of the Galaxy Watch — wearables that will inevitably play a central role in various areas of users’ lives.

¹ To measure personalized FTP, a Galaxy smartphone must be connected to a power meter. In order to calculate a more accurate FTP, it is necessary to connect the Galaxy Watch to a smartphone. The FTP is calculated automatically when cycling occurs at a mid to high intensity level 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 cycling power meter is sold separately. Traditional FTP analysis duration on professional equipment is up to 1 hour on average.
² Energy Score is available on Android phones (Android 11 or above) and requires Samsung Health app (v6.27 or above). Samsung account log-in required. Service availability may vary by country or region. To check the Energy Score, the health data tracked from Samsung Galaxy Watch must be synchronized with the Samsung Health app. Needs at least the previous day’s activity data and sleep, and heart rate data during sleep. Not intended for use in detection, diagnosis, treatment of any medical condition. The result is for your personal reference only. Please consult a medical professional for advice.
