Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the release of the Galaxy Fit3[1], its newest fitness tracker that democratizes Samsung’s advanced health monitoring technology, inspiring everyone to feel their best and adopt a healthier lifestyle. The Galaxy Fit3 is Samsung’s latest wearable device and boasts an aluminum body with a wider display, allowing users to keep track of their health and wellness data — from daily workouts to peaceful sleep — straight from their wrists, around the clock.

In this new era of wellness, users desire a more comprehensive understanding of their health, and Samsung is committed to providing users with advanced health monitoring tools to help them along their wellness journey. As our newest fitness tracker, the Galaxy Fit3 underscores our commitment to provide accessible resources that encourage everyday wellness and inspire everyone to work on their best self.

A Durable and Compact Tracker with a Larger, More Stylish Display

The Galaxy Fit3 is designed with an aluminum body and a 1.6-inch display, 45% wider than the previous model[2], making it easier for users to check detailed insights at a glance. It’s also lightweight and sleek with a comfortable fit, making it ideal for everyday use around the clock. Users can incorporate the Galaxy Fit3 into their lifestyles with ease thanks to its long battery life that can last up to 13 days[3]. They can personalize their tracker and make it more stylish by selecting their favorite watch face from over 100 presets[4] or setting their own photos as the background. Users can also effortlessly mix and match bands[5]  to complement their fashion and daily routines with a one-click button.

Keep a Pulse on Your Health Metrics[6] Day and Night

Samsung has always prioritized sleep for better wellness, empowering users to understand their patterns and build healthier habits with advanced sleep monitoring tools[7]. This commitment is reflected in the Galaxy Fit3. Users can comfortably wear their Galaxy Fit3 throughout the night while it tracks their sleep patterns, even detecting snoring[8] and monitoring blood oxygen levels[9] to provide more detailed measurements. Based on individual sleep patterns, the Galaxy Fit3 provides users with personalized Sleep Coaching[10] with meaningful insights that help them more intuitively understand their sleep, leading them to make positive changes.

During the day, the Galaxy Fit3 allows users to keep an eye on their daily activities. Users can track over 100 types of workouts anytime, anywhere and review their exercise records easily, encouraging them to stay motivated to achieve their goals.[11] The Galaxy Fit3 features a 5ATM rating and IP68-rated water and dust resistance[12], meaning users can enjoy outdoor activities in a variety of environments, as well. The Galaxy Fit3 gives users an even deeper understanding of their overall health, by delivering health metrics that include heart rate[13] and stress levels.

Stay Safe and Connected in the Galaxy Ecosystem

To provide users with a safety net, safety features including Fall Detection and Emergency SOS have been newly added to the Galaxy Fit3. When an abnormal fall is detected, the Galaxy Fit3 gives users the option to call emergency services to get medical support in a timely manner¹⁴. When users are in an emergency, they can send an SOS by pressing the side button five times[14].

Galaxy Fit3 users can also access an array of capabilities within the connected Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, for an enhanced wearable experience. Users can utilize the Galaxy Fit3 as a controller right on their wrist, not only as a remote control for their smartphone camera when taking photos and setting timers with Camera Remote[15], but also to play and control media on their connected device. For a seamless experience, when users don’t want to be disturbed or get ready for bed, they can automatically sync modes[16] between their Galaxy Fit3 and paired smartphone. If a smartphone is misplaced, users can easily locate it with the Find My Phone feature on the Galaxy Fit3, or vice versa.[17]

Driven by usability thanks to the improved Bixby functionality and sleeker, more intuitive UI, the updated Galaxy Watch Active has seamlessness at its core, meaning that users can pursue their wellness and lifestyle goals with ease. Furthermore, users can stylishly match their daily activities to their Galaxy Watch Active strap thanks to the new range of Strap Studio exclusive watch straps.

With this latest set of updates, Samsung, Strap Studio and other partners are bringing a lifestyle ecosystem straight to users’ wrists that is fully customizable and offers effortless usability.

Smarter Usability

The Galaxy Watch Active’s new software updates make for a more convenient, hands-free Galaxy Watch Active experience thanks to the meaningful improvements made to the Bixby function. Users can now harness Bixby’s comprehensive intelligence to start customized exercise routines, find out time differences between cities and easily control their SmartThings ecosystem – all using the conversational language they favor. Bixby’s task-oriented, personalized UX also learns from your routine and preferred questions, becoming more helpful over time. With these latest updates, you can do more with your Galaxy Watch Active without even having to take your phone out of your pocket.

For an even more seamless user experience, the Galaxy Watch Active’s App Tray UI has been updated to provide a more natural, intuitive format, meaning that users can easily and quickly search the interface and open up the functionality they need. To ensure comfort and convenience during use at nighttime, Goodnight Mode now offers its own dedicated view, and while switched on, users can simply check the time with a single press of a button and can sleep soundly without their downtime being interrupted by notification alerts. Furthermore, Goodnight Mode’s particular settings and alert conditions can be fully customized.

More Options for Health & Fitness

So that users are able to get even more out of Samsung Health and its exercise tracking features, the latest Galaxy Watch Active now recognizes Swimming and is able to automatically detect and record a user’s swimming activity, allowing users to easily and seamlessly keep track of more of their favorite workouts.

The latest range of Galaxy Watch Active updates also allows users to get more out of the watch’s Health functionality thanks to the new Heart Rate – Low Alert feature, which notifies users when their heart rate slips below a specific, user-set value for 10 minutes. The UX of Samsung Health’s Breathe Guide has been improved so that users can easily access breathing rate information and guidance pertinent to comfortable breathing.

Stylish Straps for Any Occasion

Not only does the Galaxy Watch Active enrich users’ lifestyles with its intuitive fitness tracking software, seamless connectivity and personalized UX, its minimalistic, stylish appearance suits any personality. With the new Strap Studio collection of straps exclusive to the Galaxy Watch Active, users can easily switch between the range of functional yet sleek wrist straps that have been developed specifically for particular activities and pursuits.

The Active Leather and Active Leather Dress collections allow users to seamlessly add a touch of class to their looks, thanks to the authentic Italian leather and classic color ranges available.

Here, two of the minds behind the Gear Sport’s design, Product Planner Sungjin Kim and UX Designer Hayeong Jeong, discuss Samsung’s efforts to design a sports watch that’s in a league of its own.

Q. Who was the Gear Sport designed for?

Kim: Our chief priority when designing the Gear Sport was to introduce a smartwatch that featured new, easy-to-use functions that allowed users to go ‘beyond fitness’.

Conventional sports watches tend to be huge and heavy, and designed mainly for those who are interested in pushing their bodies to the limit to reach peak condition. We’ve tailored the Gear Sport to those who want to work out and stay in shape, but aren’t necessarily interested in becoming a pro athlete.

The result is a smartwatch that’s sleek, comfortable and great for everyday wear, and packed with features that empower users to get the most out of a workout whenever they wish. We set out to design a device that struck a fine balance between stylish design and powerful, fitness-focused function, and we’ve been delighted to hear that the result of our efforts has gotten great feedback from users.

Q. What are some of the ways that the Gear Sport streamlines exercise?

Kim: The Gear Sport features built-in GPS and an advanced, continuous heart-rate sensor, and is one of the first Samsung wearables (along with the Gear Fit2 Pro) to boast 5 ATM (50-meter) water resistance.

This level of water resistance means that the smartwatch is built to not only stand up to rain and the odd splash, but also dips in the pool. In fact, the Gear Sport’s support for swim-tracking app Speedo On makes it the ideal companion for any swim.

The device is packed with powerful fitness-tracking software, including a built-in “pace-setter” feature that makes it excellent for managing runs, as well as automatic activity detection. And by seamlessly syncing with Samsung Health, and allowing users to easily log their calorie intake directly into their smartwatch, the Gear Sport also offers tools to help users keep better track of their eating habits and ultimately achieve their weight goals.

The smartwatch is also great for home training. Its Samsung Health integration allows you to easily access an expanded collection of fun fitness classes from third-party content providers that may be streamed to your Samsung TV using your Samsung smartphone’s Smart View function, while its continuous heart-rate tracking allows you to monitor your performance on your screen in real-time during your workout.

Q. The Gear Sport also introduces a new, square form to the Samsung smartwatch lineup. What inspired this adjustment?

Kim: We chose to equip the Gear Sport with a case that combines the Gear line’s signature bezel with a slightly square body not only because it created a unique way to differentiate the device from our other offerings, but also because it allowed us to incorporate a large, 300 mAh battery.

The contours of the case make the Gear Sport quite comfortable to wear, and add a nice, elegant touch to the device’s overall aesthetic.

Q. How have you enhanced the Gear Sport’s familiar, circular UX?

Jeong: Our wearables’ signature UX makes accessing their functions simple and intuitive. When we set about designing the Gear Sport, we prioritized finding useful ways to enhance the circular UX, and make best use of the versatile bezel.

For example, sending a completed text with the interface used to require a tap of the screen. Now, a slight twist of the bezel will automatically pull up a prompt to send your text. We’ve also optimized the bezel to make tasks like changing a watch face more seamless and convenient. So if you rotate the Gear Sport’s bezel quickly after pulling up the watch face selection screen, now, you’ll be able to instantly view more options.

Other adjustments include the new app shortcut widget, which displays your most recently accessed apps, and the streamlined Quick Panel, which may now be accessed from any screen, rather than solely via the watch face. The optimizations we’ve made are the results of incorporating user feedback, and make it easy for users to access key functions and find the information they need at a glance.

We’re constantly looking for new, innovative ways to optimize UX – not only for the Gear Sport, but for each of our wearable devices.

Q. The Gear Sport’s highly customizable design adds another fun layer of versatility. Is this something that was prioritized from an early stage?

Jeong: Absolutely. Our aim with the Gear Sport was to present a sports watch with a truly versatile design.

The watch comes in two colors, black and blue, and features 13 preinstalled watch faces. The colors of those watch faces may be customized to create a wide array of unique designs, which may also be paired with 23 available straps, yielding a total of more than 3,600 distinct variations.

On top of that, there are tens of thousands more watch faces available to download in the Galaxy Apps store, and we also offer a Gear Watch Designer tool, which makes it easy for users to create and share high-quality watch faces of their own design.

Q. Were there any other fun features that you were able to incorporate into the Gear Sport’s design?

Kim: Because smartwatch users tend to be tech savvy, and IoT-interactions are becoming more ubiquitous in our lives, when designing the Gear Sport, we prioritized optimizing the device for inter-device connectivity.

This ultimately led us to develop cool functions that allow users to use the Gear Sport to streamline how they do things like manage PowerPoint presentations, navigate VR interfaces,* and pay for goods on the go.

“The key to living a healthy life is to keep moving and stay active; and as such, we want to drive people to enjoy a dynamic and balanced life in a smart and seamless way.

These devices are stylish, durable and functional that complement your lifestyle all round, from work to play to fitness,” said Mr KM Liew, Head of IT & Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Users can keep track of their work, such as replying emails, as well as their fitness goals simultaneously, all in one single device. Available in Blue and Black, the Gear Sport is equipped with Gear foundational functions that include a control of Samsung IoT-enabled devices through Samsung Connect and Samsung Pay capabilities.

The New Gear IconX: Comfortable fit, cord-free earbuds that provides complete freedom in your ears

The Gear IconX are cord-free earbuds that provide a secure and comfortable fit, making daily commute more enjoyable and helping active users get more from their workout. The updated design comes in Black and is even more ergonomic and lightweight, making it effectively secure, comfortable and stylish to use. For fitness enthusiasts, the Running Coach function with voice feedback is readily available to motivate users based on the pace set, just like a personal fitness coach.

Furthermore, an improved long-lasting battery ensures that users always have access to the features they need and music they love. Music can be enjoyed on and offline by transferring songs from a Samsung smartphone or PC, or accessing favourite tunes through Bluetooth connectivity. The Gear IconX is also the newest connection to Bixby. With a simple tap and hold of the earbud, users can control their music, playlist and smartphone through voice command – without even having it in your hand. The Gear IconX is available in 3 colours – black, gray and pink.

Gear Fit2 Pro: An advanced GPS fitness band with swim tracking capabilities

Completing Samsung’s wearables offering is the Gear Fit2 Pro, an upgraded GPS sports band with industry-leading swim tracking capabilities that makes an ideal companion for swimming laps or playing in the pool. Launched in September 2017 with the Galaxy Note8, the new Gear Fit2 Pro features advanced built-in GPS tracking to capture the users’ run or ride with accurate activity tracking, making every move count. Samsung’s Under Armour partnership provides users with access to the brand’s popular fitness apps that offer a connected experience via exclusive features including activity, nutrition and social functions. Available in Liquid Black and Diamond Red, its versatile design also makes it a stylish accessory.

The new Gear Sport and new Gear IconX will be available in Samsung Experience Stores from 1^st December 2017 onwards at a retail price of RM1,299 and RM799 respectively; while the Gear Fit2 Pro retails at RM799.
