Users can access an Energy Score to gauge their physical and mental state, calculated using metrics like sleep patterns, activity levels, and heart rate variability. With the support of Galaxy AI, personalised recommendations are also offered to help users improve their overall well-being.
Sleep tracking has been enhanced with an advanced AI algorithm too, providing detailed insights such as movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
Moreover, the newly available De Novo FDA-authorised Sleep Apnoea feature will help users detect potential signs of moderate to severe sleep apnoea, empowering proactive health management.

The update also promises to keep fitness enthusiasts motivated with features like Race, which compares real-time performance during running or cycling to past sessions, or the Workout Routine feature that allows users to create personalised exercise plans by combining multiple activities tailored to their fitness goals.
Users can enjoy new watch faces designed to balance style and practicality as well. Options like the minimalist Simple Digital or the data-rich Ultra Info Board provide something for everyone.
Beyond aesthetics, One UI 6 Watch strengthens integration with Samsung Galaxy phones. AI-powered Suggested Replies enable seamless communication, while new Double Pinch Gestures allow users to manage calls, alarms, photos, and more directly from their wrist.
