LONDON, UK – February 7^th, 2022 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced a new update to the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic, continuing its commitment to helping users express their personal style and monitor their health goals. Users can expect new health and fitness feature improvements, like advanced interval training designed for any cyclist or runner, a new sleep coaching programme, and new body composition insights. Galaxy Watch4 users will now have even more ways to customise their look with upgraded watch faces, and a new line of stylish strap.

“We understand the growing needs of smartwatch users, and are committed to guiding our Galaxy Watch Series community on their unique wellness journeys with our latest update,” said, James Kitto, Vice President of Sales, Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland. “Galaxy Watch4 helps our users monitor their individualised goals by providing the health and wellness tools they need to be successful. We are excited to continue this effort as part of our wider initiative to redefine holistic wellness through expanded experiences and new innovations.”

Motivation to Move                                                                                                                                       

The latest Body Composition^[1] update gives users even more insight into their health progress.. Samsung Health will also be providing body composition insights powered by Centr^[2], a digital fitness programme curated by Chris Hemsworth, to help users transform their health, fitness and mindset. In addition, Galaxy Watch4 users will receive a 30-day free trial^[3] for full and unrestricted access to Centr. 

Whether you’re just looking to get active or training for an upcoming race, Samsung’s new interval target feature for runners and cyclists lets them pre-set the duration, distance, and number of sets for their workout. From there, Galaxy Watch4 guides them through a custom intensity training session with a series of high-intensity workouts interspersed with low-intensity workouts, making for an impactful and targeted workout every time.

Track Your Sleep

Building on Galaxy Watch4’s robust sleep tracking capabilities, the new Sleep Coaching^[4] programme helps users develop better sleep habits. By tracking sleep patterns over seven days^[5] and completing two related sleep surveys, the programme assigns one of eight Sleep Symbol animals representing the user’s sleep type. Then, the programme will guide users through a four to five week coaching programme that includes missions, checklists, sleep-related articles, meditation guidance, and regular reports to support users as they work towards improving their sleep quality.

When it comes to waking up refreshed, a peaceful and quiet environment is key to achieving a healthy rest as well. Galaxy Watch4 recognises when users fall asleep and automatically turns off Samsung SmartThings enabled lights to help create better sleeping conditions^[6].

Deeper Insights for a Healthier Heart

Combined with the advanced BioActive Sensor technology and Samsung Health Monitor app^[7], Galaxy Watch4 measures both blood pressure (BP) and electrocardiogram^[8] (ECG), allowing users to monitor their heart health anytime and from anywhere.

Greater Selection of Matching Straps and Watch Faces

The new Galaxy Watch4 update makes the wearable experience even better, from the inside out. Users can further customise their watch face with additional colours and digital clock fonts that make the watch truly their own. Also, new strap colours such as burgundy and cream, and the new fabric band and link bracelet will be available for a more personalised look.

Committed to Expanding Compatibility within the Android Ecosystem

In 2021, Samsung and Google introduced co-developed Wear OS Powered by Samsung, bringing smoother connections across Android devices and seamless access to more apps via Google Play^[9] including Google Maps, Google Pay, and YouTube Music. Coming soon through an additional update, users will be able to stream music over Wi-Fi or LTE from the YouTube Music app on their Galaxy Watch4^[10]. This means that users can leave their phone behind and still enjoy their favourite artists as they workout on-the-go.

Users can also now install their favourite smartphone apps^[11] on their Galaxy Watch4 during initial setup with one tab, creating a seamless experience across devices right out of the box.

Availability

Galaxy Watch4 software update will be available via the Galaxy Wearable app on Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic starting the day of the Unpacked – February 9^th. Users can purchase the new watch straps beginning late February.

“The last year has seen a significant rise in the number of consumers using wearables to track their health and fitness,” said Teg Dosanjh, Director of Connected Services and Technology, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland. “As we gradually return to a more normal way of life, we understand our customers want more from their smartwatches, inspiring the upgrades we have made with the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic. From our innovative BioActive Sensor to our brand-new Wear OS – developed in partnership with Google – the Galaxy Watch4 series is built to give our customers a deeper, more helpful understanding of their overall wellbeing.”

Samsung’s Most Advanced Suite of Health and Wellness Features

 Galaxy Watch4 is equipped with Samsung’s ground-breaking BioActive Sensor, which boasts a smaller and more compact design that doesn’t detract from measurement accuracy. This new 3-in-1 sensor uses a single chip to precisely run three powerful health sensors — Optical Heart Rate, Electrical Heart and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis — so users can monitor their blood pressure[1], detect an AFib irregular heartbeat¹, measure their blood oxygen level[2], and, for the first time, calculate their body composition[3]. Our all-new Body Composition measurement tool gives users a deeper understanding of their general health and fitness, with key measurements like skeletal muscle, basal metabolic rate, body water and body fat percentage. Now, you can easily check your body composition from your wrist with just two fingers. In about 15 seconds, your watch’s sensor will capture 2,400 data points.

These smartwatches come packed with an array of wellness features to track your daily activities and stay motivated to be your best. Choose from a wide range of guided workouts, enjoy Group Challenges with your friends and family, or set up a home gym by connecting your Galaxy Watch4 to your compatible Samsung Smart TV[4], where calorie counts and heartrate metrics appear on screen for easier tracking. And when you’re ready to rest, the Galaxy Watch4 series offers our most complete picture of your sleep patterns yet[5]with greater detail than before. Your compatible smartphone  detects the sounds of your snores[6],  while your smartwatch measures your blood oxygen level when you sleep3 Together with advanced Sleep Scores, you can learn more about your sleep patterns to get better rest.

The Ultimate Mobile Experience, with One UI Watch and Wear OS Powered by Samsung

 Simplicity, ease, and efficiency are hallmarks of the Galaxy smartwatch platform—and with Samsung’s brand-new One UI Watch, and Wear OS Powered by Samsung, we’ve made the smartwatch and Galaxy experience even more seamless. With One UI Watch, compatible apps are automatically installed on your watch when downloaded on your phone[7], and your important settings – like do not disturb hours and blocked callers – are synced instantly. Auto Switch[8] ensures  your earbuds can toggle audio between your phone and watch, depending on usage. You can also effortlessly control your mobile experience with Bixby voice, bezel and Gesture Controls. Move your forearm up and down twice to receive calls and rotate your wrist twice to reject them — or to dismiss notifications and alarms.

Galaxy Watch4 series is also the first generation of smartwatches to feature Wear OS Powered by Samsung —a new platform that elevates every aspect of the smartwatch experience. Built by Samsung and Google, this cutting-edge platform lets you tap into an expansive ecosystem right from your wrist – with popular Google apps like Google Maps, and beloved Galaxy services, like Samsung Pay, SmartThings and Bixby. The new platform also includes support for leading third-party apps, like Adidas Running, Calm, Strava, and Spotify available from Google Play. Along with our advanced hardware and even more intuitive user interface, you can enjoy smooth and convenient integrated experiences with your Galaxy Watch4. For example, our enhanced built-in compass works in tandem with Google Maps to make it easy to explore a new area.

Bringing Powerful Performance Directly to Your Wrist

This incredible experience is backed by serious hardware upgrades including the enhanced processor, richer displays, and expanded memory. Galaxy Watch4 series boasts the first 5nm processor in a Galaxy Watch – with 20% faster CPU and 50% more RAM, and a GPU 10 times faster than the previous generation. That means scrolling and multitasking on Galaxy Watch4 series is smooth and effortless. We also upped the resolution on the display, up to 450 x 450 pixels[9], so visuals are crisper and more distinctive. And with an impressive 16GB of memory, you’ll have enough storage to download and store your favourite apps, music, and photos – with the confidence they’re secure, thanks to Samsung’s Knox security platform.

Samsung’ leadership in eSIM technology enables users to enjoy the freedom of being able to leave their phone behind, knowing their smartwatch will automatically sync up and fill the gap[10]. We also know a reliable battery is essential to smartwatch. You can have up to 40 hours[11] of battery life, more than enough to keep a charge on an overnight camping trip – even as it supports the faster processor, higher resolution display, expanded memory and more sophisticated health features. And when you need more juice quickly, 30 minutes of charging provides up to 10 hours of battery.
