A major new software update will be rolling out to the Samsung Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active, Galaxy Watch Active2, and Galaxy Watch3 from November 15th, bringing along a number of new features and customization goodies.
On the top of the list is a new Fall Detection feature, designed to identify hard falls when a wearer is moving. The new update will enable an option to adjust the sensitivity for the same. You can even choose to detect a fall when you are standing still. Once the watch detects a fall, it sends an SOS notification to selected contacts to ensure that the wearer gets assistance as soon as possible. The feature will be coming to the Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Watch3.
Next in line is Group Challenge that enables one to add friends or family to a workout challenge, boosting the incentive to stay fit. All of it can be managed from the watch itself and the feature will also let you track your own place in the competition or see how you’re performing as a team.
Samsung Health Monitor app has also arrived on the Galaxy Watch Active2 and Galaxy Watch3. It allows the user to track their heart rate, blood oxygen levels, sleep, and stress. It is currently available in a total of 42 markets.
Moving on to the customization part, you can enjoy 10 additional watch faces that first launched with the Galaxy Watch4. There are new bold Big Number and Active watch faces along with a more minimal-looking Classic one. Some of these have additional personalization features and support taps to switch between various looks.
