In Samsung’s blog post (Korean language), the firm details all new changes.

Sleep Management Features

Samsung Electronics has emphasized understanding individual sleep patterns, forming healthy habits, and creating an optimized sleep environment for better sleep quality.

With One UI 5 Watch, users can now check various tips for sound sleep provided through existing Galaxy smartphones on the Galaxy Watch. For example, the device suggests avoiding caffeine intake six hours before bedtime and sun exposure in the morning.

The Sleep Insight UI places the user’s sleep score at the top of the screen to show the previous night’s sleep time and quality at a glance.

Personalized Fitness Features

One UI 5 Watch provides a personalized exercise guide based on the user’s heart rate zone.

The user can measure individual cardiorespiratory capacity with the Galaxy Watch, and when the user runs for ten minutes, maximum oxygen intake and personalized heart rate intervals based on aerobic and anaerobic thresholds are set.

Based on the user’s individual cardiorespiratory capacity measured this way, the Galaxy Watch provides a personalized heart rate zone from Zone 1 to Zone 5.

With this information, the user can exercise by selecting a heart rate zone suitable for their purpose. While the user selects section 2 and is exercising, a notification is provided when the heart rate is out of the corresponding section, such as section 1 with a slower heart rate or section 3 with a faster heart rate.

Moreover, the GPX (GPS Exchange Format) route guidance function available on the ‘Galaxy Watch 5 Pro’ now has running and walking features added to existing exercise types such as hiking and cycling, allowing users to more conveniently check their location while exercising.

Enhanced Safety Features

The emergency SOS function has been improved in One UI 5 Watch.

When an emergency situation occurs and the user presses the home button of the Galaxy Watch five times in a row, the device connects to an emergency number such as 119 and determines whether or not to connect the call.

When a rescue request is made with an emergency number based in each country, a button for direct access to the user’s medical information is provided on the Galaxy Watch screen. To provide information, users must register their own medical information in advance.
