Summary
Samsung will roll out new Galaxy Watch health tools in the second half of 2026, adding vital signs monitoring, a heart health score, daily cardio load, a body fitness index and hearing management.
Starting June 8, the updated Samsung Health app will support the features, with vital signs tracking built from more than one week of sleep data including heart rate, variability, respiration, skin temperature and blood oxygen.
The new suite is designed to turn those readings into guidance: the heart score links habits to long-term cardiovascular health, while cardio load aims to reduce exhaustion or injury during harder exercise.
Hearing management uses Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds together to measure ambient noise, earphone volume exposure and total exposure time, extending Samsung's health push beyond fitness metrics.
Samsung said the features will debut on new Galaxy Watch models later this year, with existing devices including the Galaxy Watch8 receiving them later via software updates.
