Galaxy Watch3 and Galaxy Buds Live are convenient tools for maintaining your lifestyle and daily routines. Both devices are seamlessly integrated into the wider Galaxy ecosystem to help you get the most out of your technology.

“Wearables are among the fastest-advancing technology sectors, and the pace of progress is only accelerating. In recent months, we’ve seen immense growth in the market as people turn to smartwatches and earbuds to help them thrive”, said James Kitto, Vice President of Sales, Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland. “Since introducing our first smartwatch just seven years ago, Samsung has become a leader in wearable innovation. Today, we’re laser-focused on building on this momentum to offer new and differentiated experiences – combined with the bold design and advanced technology that our customers have come to expect.”

Galaxy Watch3: Brilliant tech. Classic design.

Galaxy Watch3 boasts all the craftsmanship of a luxury timepiece, while being comfortable enough to wear all day. Sporting a timeless design, this watch is built with premium materials like stainless steel and leather. Galaxy Watch3 also features the popular rotating bezel from previous watch models, which merges form with function. With just a turn of the bezel, you can easily toggle between widgets, open apps and scroll through notifications. Compared to the original Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch3 is 14% thinner, 8% smaller and 15% lighter[1] — combined with a larger display. You can also customise your watch face to perfectly reflect your personal style. You can choose from over 80,000 watch faces in the Galaxy Store, or design your own. A library of 40 different complications allows you to personalise your watch face with the information that’s most important to you.

With each new iteration, Galaxy Watch capabilities have expanded, and now, Galaxy Watch3[2] will offer new experiences in wellness monitoring[3]. The Blood oxygen (SpO2) feature will soon measure and track oxygen saturation over time[4]. To ensure that help is never too far away in the event of a fall, Galaxy Watch3 comes with a new feature that detects falls, which identifies a potential fall and can send an SOS notification to your chosen contacts[5].

Beginning a fitness routine can be difficult, but Samsung’s running form tool is here to help. Running analysis will be able to offers real-time feedback during your runs, as well as six-factor post-workout reports, which help improve form and boost performance. To track your cardio progress as you go, you will soon be able to easily access VO₂ max readings, which offer insight into your oxygen uptake. Even when you’re at home, you have access to a full-service fitness studio with Samsung Health, which features a library of more than 120 different video workouts. Simply select a workout routine on your Galaxy smartphone, cast it onto your Samsung Smart TV[6], and your Galaxy Watch3 will take care of the rest and automatically track the workout. Because recovery is just as important as the exercise, Samsung has been developing its sleep management offering since it was first introduced back in 2014. Now, Galaxy Watch3 offers brand new sleep score and insights so you can track your sleep.

In addition, seamless compatibility between the Galaxy Watch3 and other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Note20, amplifies your mobile experiences. You can set automatic reply options for both messages and images, and easily view emoticons and photos directly from your wrist. You can also effortlessly control your mobile experience; play your favorite music from your phone with the rotating bezel. For those who spend extended periods away from their phone, 4G models are also available, allowing you to take calls and messages, stream your favorite Spotify playlists[7], and access your favorite apps on-the-go.[8]

Galaxy Buds Live: Tune into Every Moment

Galaxy Buds Live defy conventional design — with one-of-a-kind aesthetics, they’re like nothing you’ve ever seen or worn before. Samsung has reconfigured traditional earbud design, laying out internal components horizontally instead of vertically. That way, the earbuds don’t protrude from your ears, providing a more natural appearance. This ergonomic, tip-less design conforms to the shape of your ear, making them comfortable enough to wear all-day. You can further customise your fit with two sizes of wingtips.

Galaxy Buds Live were engineered to bring your sound to life. Combining Grammy Award-winning AKG’s sound expertise with Samsung’s legacy of hardware innovation, Galaxy Buds Live offer a truly immersive audio experience. With a 12mm speaker and bass duct, the audio sounds deep and rich, allowing you to enjoy music the way the artist intended. With three microphones and a Voice Pickup Unit, you can ensure all your calls are crystal clear. Two outer mics block external noise, so the only sound the other mic will pick up is your voice. These earbuds feature Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) for open type, allowing you to tune out distractions like passing cars and loud laundry machines, while still being able to tune into important announcements and conversations.

Galaxy Buds Live offer a convenient and connected listening experience, compatible with a range of devices. Seamlessly switch between compatible devices — no disconnecting and reconnecting required. And when paired with the latest Galaxy devices, you can open your world to new possibilities. Record crystal clear audio for your video on the Galaxy Note20 by using Galaxy Buds Live as a wireless microphone. You can also easily share music with friends — without compromising sound quality — using the new Buds Together[9] feature.

For more convenient navigation, Galaxy Buds Live feature an intuitive touch-based PUI (physical user interface) [10] for touch control, as well as Bixby voice wake-up, which allows you to navigate music, open apps, and send messages hands-free and eyes-free. Plus, Galaxy Buds Live come with long-lasting battery life. When fully charged, your earbuds can support up to 6 hours of playback, and the charging case allows you to enjoy an additional 15 hours over multiple charges[11]. That’s 21 hours of uninterrupted music. And when you need to top up on charge quickly, you can gain 1 hour of play time with just 5 minutes of charging[12].

Life Unstoppable is a 45-minute virtual and dynamic journey of Samsung’s newest pioneering technology. Presenters and special guests will showcase how Samsung’s human-centred innovations have always enabled people to design connected, seamless experiences to live a Life Unstoppable.

Samsung continues to push the limits of what technology can do – and this experience is no different. The interactive world will allow guests to explore multiple new product launches in mobile, TV and home appliances from the comfort of their own home. The latest innovations within Samsung’s integrated ecosystem will offer solutions to consumer needs – from maximising in-home entertainment and connected gaming experiences, to efficiency with smart digital appliances, and enabling creativity for work and play, both at home and on-the-go.

This year’s digital experience is one of the many ways Samsung is enabling its business to adapt in response to recent global shifts in travel restrictions, working environments, and face-to-face interaction.

Samsung Europe’s Chief Marketing Officer Benjamin Braun said: “At Samsung, we continue to bring game-changing innovation to our customers and our society. We are excited to reinvent the way we will unveil our new line-up of mobile phones, wearables, TVs, home appliances and more – a journey that will showcase how our connected, breakthrough technology fuels a Life Unstoppable.”

LONDON, England – February 14, 2020 –With 2 in 5 people wishing they could test the spark before meeting a potential match, singles are set to embrace a new era of dating at Samsung KX, London’s new home of innovation in the heart of Coal Drops Yard.

A new study commissioned by Samsung KX, has revealed that 40% of Brits restrict themselves to only dating their ‘type on paper’. Yet despite the nation claiming to know what they want, over half (58%) wait up to a month to physically meet their match and 42% admit to these dates lacking a spark.

Even though we reach for the tick list, a third of Brits (33%) deem chemistry as the most important factor when it comes to romantic encounters, with over half the nation (54%) taking less than half an hour to feel it.

As a result, Samsung KX and happn have teamed up to offer those looking for love the ultimate micro-dating destination, enabling guests to physically track connections with no expense spared. The #SamsungKX series will be spread across 5 events where guests can partake in up to 3 15-minute micro-dates in one evening, except there’s a twist… All guests will test who really gets their hearts racing by wearing a Samsung Galaxy Watch to monitor their heartrate through each date.

Kicking off on Thursday 20^th February, the experience will also include complimentary drinks and virtual ice breakers on Samsung mobile devices for guests to enjoy.

Marine Ravinet, Head of Trends, happn, comments:

“Here at happn, we want to help people forge long-lasting, deep connections. This starts with understanding that your type on paper isn’t necessarily going to be the one you fall in love with. This forward-thinking way of micro-dating blows romantic types out of the water and we’re excited to partner with Samsung KX to help build better couplings through Samsung technology. After all, meaningful relationships begin with real life meetings.”

Tanya Weller, Director of Samsung Showcase, KX said:

“We’re really excited to be hosting the #SamsungKX Micro-Dating series to help prevent more Brits wasting time and money on bad dates. This idea to literally track real chemistry and connections using our technology reaffirms what Samsung KX is all about, a true home of innovation. It’s experiences like these that really help us connect people and we’re looking forward to bringing more exciting events and workshops to our guests in the very near future.

What’s more, those lucky in love can take advantage of the Connection Corner from Thursday 20^th February – Thursday 19^th March. Offering an ongoing pop-up of romantic, digital activities, couples visiting Samsung KX will be encouraged to take a micro moment for each other.

Top micro-dating tips from happn:

Tip 1 – Don’t wait too long before going on the first date:

Smartphone apps are great for getting things started but chemistry is the ultimate test, and the sooner you can determine whether those online sparks translate into real-life chemistry, the better. No one wants to come across too keen by suggesting a date as the opener, but once you have established common interests and you think they may take your fancy, take the plunge and suggest a date. We recommend waiting no longer than 1 or 2 weeks before the first micro-date so initial digital sparks don’t fade.

 Tip 2 – Use the power of tech:

Using wearable tech such as a Samsung Galaxy Watch is a fun and easy way of keeping an eye on who gives you butterflies and sends your heart racing during romantic encounters.

 Tip 3 – Pick a safe yet inspiring space:

First dates are exciting but it’s important to be safe when meeting someone new for the first time. Pick a safe, public space and be sure to let your friends know where you’re going and when you expect to be home. If you are picking the location for your date, plan ahead and choose a location that’s fun and inspires conversation to make an impact in micro-minutes.

Tip 4 – Don’t be afraid to date out of your comfort zone:

If past relationships have not worked out – maybe this is because you always go for who you feel is your ‘perfect type’. Leave your prejudices behind and dare to meet someone different. Pay attention to the chemistry and remember, they say opposites attract for a reason!

Tip 5 – Be respectful if your date is not for you:

Don’t be rude or ghost someone if you are not interested after a date, just because you are talking via technology. It doesn’t cost you anything to say goodbye, to offer a polite message letting someone know you are not interested without leaving them hanging.
