Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
Using the Galaxy Watch 6 was a breeze. Navigating its interface was smooth and effortlessly handled fitness tracking and notifications.
As someone who prioritises their well-being, I was thoroughly impressed by the comprehensive fitness and wellness features offered by the Galaxy Watch 6. It provided a wide range of functionalities, from heart rate monitoring and sleep tracking to stress tracking and a diverse array of workout modes. Notably, the inclusion of Samsung’s Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sensor and the temperature sensor added significant value by providing insightful data about my health and wellness.
The watch doesn’t just passively track your sleep; it actively calculates your sleeping patterns and assists in understanding your night, so you can make the most of your day.
Another noteworthy feature that caught my attention is the watch’s ability to monitor every step and incorporate them into my wellness journey. The watch encourages you to make every move count. I was able to effortlessly keep track of my fitness progress and nutritional data with MyFitnessPal updates. The watch would also automatically recognize and record select workouts, such as running, walking, and now, even cycling, thanks to the Automatic Workout Detection feature. This ensures you don’t miss out on valuable data, even if you forget to manually start the tracking.
Moreover, you can now accurately measure the temperature of your favourite meal or the ocean before a swim, completely contact-free, with the newly launched Thermo Check app that utilises the new Skin Temperature API. How cool is that? I was gooped!
