<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Here’s 4 simple steps to start the Sleep Coaching Program: </strong></span></h3>
<p><strong>Step 1: Set Up Sleep Coaching From Mobile</strong></p>
<p>Start the program with a quick questionnaire and wear your Galaxy Watch for a week while you sleep. This will help gather a week’s worth of sleep data.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Step 2: Discover Your Sleep Type </strong></p>
<p>After logging a week’s sleep data, you’ll be able to discover your Sleep Animal tailored to your sleep patterns and then start a 4-5 week sleep coaching program that suits you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18999" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image1.jpeg" alt="" width="720" height="600" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image1.jpeg 720w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image1-676x563.jpeg 676w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Step 3: Complete the Missions</strong></p>
<p>You’ll be given Sleep Missions that will help you improve your sleep quality with notifications, follow the steps of Sleep Coaching program and read the recommended articles for tips to help you manage your sleep better</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18997" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image2.jpeg" alt="" width="720" height="600" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image2.jpeg 720w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image2-676x563.jpeg 676w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Step 4: Achieve Your Goal </strong></p>
<p>Follow the Sleep Coaching Program to improve your Sleep Score. Check on your seven-day sleep analysis results every week. And when the sleep coaching period is over, you can see the improvements in your sleep quality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18998" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image3.jpeg" alt="" width="720" height="600" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image3.jpeg 720w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/image3-676x563.jpeg 676w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Featuring a full suite of premium fitness features, a stylish yet practical design, and an enhanced and intuitive user interface, Samsung’s <a href="https://news.samsung.com/global/infographic-go-beyond-fitness-with-the-new-gear-sport-and-gear-iconx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recently released</a> <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/wearables/gear-sport/SM-R600NZBAXME/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gear Sport</a> <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/wearables/smart-watch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smartwatch</a> was designed to help people get more out of their day, and live a healthy and well-balanced life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. Who was the Gear Sport designed for?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> 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’.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-95439" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/my/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Gear-Sport-Interview_main-1.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="482" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. What are some of the ways that the Gear Sport streamlines exercise?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-95436" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Gear-Sport-Interview_main-2.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="468" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/smartphones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smartphone</a>’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.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. The Gear Sport also introduces a new, square form to the Samsung smartwatch lineup. What inspired this adjustment?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. How have you enhanced the Gear Sport’s familiar, circular UX?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jeong:</strong> Our <a href="http://www.samsung.com/my/wearables/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wearables</a>’ 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We’re constantly looking for new, innovative ways to optimize UX – not only for the Gear Sport, but for each of our wearable devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. The Gear Sport’s highly customizable design adds another fun layer of versatility. Is this something that was prioritized from an early stage?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jeong:</strong> Absolutely. Our aim with the Gear Sport was to present a sports watch with a truly versatile design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-95438" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Gear-Sport-Interview_main-4.gif" alt="" width="705" height="377" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Q. Were there any other fun features that you were able to incorporate into the Gear Sport’s design?</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Kim:</strong> 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
