The Samsung Health Monitor app received a CE-marking in December 2020, which enabled the service to expand to 28 European countries. A CE-marking is an administrative sign to highlight that a product compiles with EU safety, health and environmental requirements. This will now allow users in the UK and Ireland to easily and conveniently benefit from blood pressure and electrocardiogram tracking.

“Nearly one million people have used the Samsung Health Monitor app to manage their health since its initial launch in Korea last June,” said Teg Dosanjh, Director of Connected Services & Technology at Samsung Electronics. “Our Galaxy Watch Series is a much-loved product in our Galaxy ecosystem and we are delighted to bring this innovative service to our customers in the UK.”

Blood Pressure Measurement

Once your Galaxy Watch3 (GW3) or Galaxy Watch Active2 (GWA2) has been calibrated with a traditional cuff, you can simply tap to “Measure” your blood pressure anytime, anywhere. Calibration is simple and can be done for free at many local pharmacies and your GP, or for convenience; home blood pressure cuffs are available to buy.  

The Samsung device (GW3 or GWA2) measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the Heart Rate Monitoring sensors. The programme then analyses the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine the blood pressure^[1].

Electrocardiogram Monitoring

The electrocardiogram function works by analysing the heart’s electrical activity via a sensor on the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2^[2]. Simply open the Samsung Health Monitor app when you are seated comfortably, and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to your wrist. Next, rest your forearm on a flat surface and lightly place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the smartwatch for 30 seconds. The app will then measure your heart rate and rhythm, which will be classified as either a Sinus Rhythm (a normal, regular heartbeat) or AFib (when the heart beats irregularly)^[3].

Availability

To make blood pressure and electrocardiogram measurements, users must have the Samsung Health Monitor app installed on both the Galaxy Watch3 or Galaxy Watch Active2 and their Galaxy smartphone. The Samsung Health Monitor app is automatically installed when users update their Galaxy smartwatch to the latest version via the Galaxy Wearable app. The app will then open a link, which will direct users to the smartphone app download page in the Galaxy Store app.

The Samsung Health Monitor App is the perfect companion to the Samsung Health App, enabling Galaxy users to have a holistic view of their lifestyle and make informed decisions to monitor their health goals.

The Samsung Health Monitor app update will be progressively available on Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Watch Active2 in the UK and Ireland from February 4^th . For more information, please visit: https://www.samsung.com/uk/apps/samsung-health-monitor/

LONDON, England – June 17th, 2020 – Despite being asked to stay at home, Brits are keeping positive and challenging themselves to stay motivated by trying new things, with yoga revealed as one of the top three hobbies being tried for the first time during recent months. To encourage people to stay active during this time, Samsung is partnering with leading wellness enthusiast Cat Meffan, to deliver a series of virtual yoga sessions, for people to enjoy from home at their own pace.

New research commissioned by Samsung^[1] has revealed Brits are upping the ante on their health and fitness routine, with over a third now focussing more on their wellbeing and 29% having a new interest in mindful activities to distract from the outside world.

Amongst the Yogis, there has also been an abundance of new runners, cyclists and walkers, with a quarter of the population still hitting an average of 2,000 steps a day and making the most of their outdoor time.  But it’s not just outdoor activities, almost half of Brits are now exercising from the comfort of their own home, with one in five intending to continue these home workouts once the restrictions lift.

Technology has also played a key role in getting the nation active with almost a quarter feeling inspired by online fitness classes or using smart devices to track their progress. Downloadable apps like Samsung Health easily facilitate this, with users able to set personalised targets, get expert advice, workout inspiration and virtually compete with friends from their phone or smartwatch to keep the motivation going.

As a result, Samsung and Cat Meffan have teamed up to enhance the UK’s wellbeing movement by offering the ultimate virtual yoga experience, hosted on the Samsung KX digital website. The three-part series kicks off from the 18th June at 8:30am and is completely free to join, allowing guests to tap in from the comfort of home.

“I’m really excited to be partnering with Samsung to host my virtual yoga sessions for those seeking a fix of movement and mindfulness. Beyond fitness and wellbeing, connection is needed now more than ever before, and I’m so glad that this digital hub on the Samsung KX website will allow us all to virtually come together, feel inspired to take part, and follow Samsung’s amazing ethos of Do What You Can’t” said Cat Meffan, leading wellness enthusiast and host of the digital classes.

The virtual sessions will cover all levels, so anyone can join along at their own pace, from the comfort of their own home. Cat Meffan will use Samsung’s ecosystem of products, including Samsung S20 Ultra, Galaxy Watch Active2 and Buds+ to guide viewers through a Yoga for Beginner’s session, followed by Yoga for Strength and Vinyasa Flow classes.

“Samsung Galaxy products are designed for pursuing passions, and Star Wars fans are some of the most passionate fans there are,” said Stephanie Choi, Senior Vice President and Head of Marketing Team of Mobile Communications Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are always looking for new ways to enhance the mobile experience, and with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming to theaters this December, we saw the perfect opportunity to bring together the best Galaxy devices with the best story in the galaxy.”

Samsung and Star Wars are aiming to create a joyous and stress-free holiday season as part of its special holiday collaboration. To kick off the campaign, Samsung and Star Wars will release a campaign video centered on a dog with a striking resemblance to iconic Star Wars character, Chewbacca, as well as another character that Star Wars superfans will recognize toward the end of the video. The story of the campaign film is about a family using Galaxy devices to communicate seamlessly across their devices to make their Holiday dreams come true. With the connected ecosystem amongst Galaxy Note10, Note10+, Watch Active2 and Tab S6, the film tells that amazing things are possible. The film features a number of references to the Star Wars universe for superfans to enjoy. It will be a fun challenge to find how many hidden items are featured in the film.

While the campaign film features a number of exciting Star Wars fanfare, it is only one piece of a much larger collaboration between Samsung and Star Wars. Fans of both the Star Wars universe and the Samsung Galaxy can expect more excitement to come as the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker draws nearer.

The campaign will air in the United Kingdom from Sunday 1^st, December.

LONDON, UK – August 5, 2019 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced Galaxy Watch Active2, the newest addition to the Galaxy smartwatch portfolio. As part of the Galaxy family, Galaxy Watch Active2 is purposefully designed with new, intuitive, and refined features to bring more customisation to consumers’ lifestyles, enhance their health and wellness as well as enable seamless, connected living.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 lets users live better through small, yet meaningful, daily changes—from reaching wellness goals such as sleep, fitness, and stress management to completing tasks efficiently. Whether you want to take time to meditate, be notified of every update, or fall somewhere in between, Galaxy Watch Active2 complements your lifestyle and delivers on what makes a difference—all while looking sleek and stylish in the process.

“The smartwatch market is rapidly growing, and we at Samsung are excited to continually expand our presence in new and visionary ways,” said DJ Koh, President and CEO of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics. “With Galaxy Watch Active2, we have created a device that will enable consumers to take control of their health and wellness, and seamlessly flow between their devices and connect across the Samsung Galaxy ecosystem, making their lives easier and better.”

Purposeful Design, Customised to Your Life

The Galaxy Watch Active2 is masterfully designed to be both beautiful and customizable. The Galaxy Watch Active2 comes in two different sizes—44mm and 40mm in diameter—and two styles: lightweight aluminum with a casual Fluoroelastomer (FKM) Band, and premium solid stainless steel with a leather strap. The smartwatches can be personalised with a range of additional stylish strap and watch-face options.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 features a brand new upgrade to our signature rotating bezel—and turns it digital to make it even more convenient to navigate while maximising the screen size. Now directly on the beautifully curved Super AMOLED screen, the rotating touch bezel turns both clockwise and counter-clockwise to advance screens so you can easily select favorite apps. Plus, the upgraded One UI offers a simple, clear and natural user experience for navigation.

And for those users who want a watch as stylish as they are, you can now match your Galaxy Watch Active2 face to your look with the My Style^[1] colour extraction algorithm.

With exercise, for example, the smartwatch can manually track more than 39 workouts with seven of them automatically activated—including running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing machine, elliptical machine and dynamic workouts. With an updated Running Coach, you can monitor your running pace in real-time and enjoy seven different running programs to help meet your goals. The Galaxy Watch Active2 even incorporates innovative new health sensors on the back, which take in readings faster, so you know you’re getting insights quickly to maximise your fitness routine and stay on track.

The Galaxy Watch Active2 also helps you track stress levels through Samsung Health, our health and wellness app^[2]. It also provides access to guided meditation programs through an integration with the leading sleep and meditation app, Calm.

Sign into your Samsung account with single sign-on from your phone or Galaxy Watch Active2, and easily browse through your music and podcasts on Spotify and enjoy a continuous listening experience. The Galaxy Watch Active2 brings you seamless device interaction experiences, and makes accessing your music and podcasts even easier.

You can also use Wireless PowerShare on your Galaxy smartphone to charge your smartwatch in an easy and intuitive way.

Plus, all the Samsung services you get with Galaxy ecosystem—like Samsung Health, SmartThings, Samsung Pay,^[4] and more—are seamlessly integrated with your watch and across your devices.
