Samsung pushed a new update to the Galaxy Watch3 in early August. The tech giant has started pushing a similar update to the Galaxy Watch Active2. The update greatly enhances its exercise tracking and messaging abilities.

The update will start rolling out for the Bluetooth versions of the smartwatch and later on, it will be pushed to the LTE models. Top among the list of features which the update adds to the smartwatch is the new Running Analysis feature which helps you improve your form and avoid injury. It allows the watch to track and report the following metrics: asymmetry, regularity, stiffness, vertical oscillation, ground contact time.

Another important feature is the improvement of the ability of the watch to now measure VO2 max, which will help you track how your endurance has improved over time.

The new update also adds a Smart Reply feature to the Galaxy Watch Active2 which will ensure you don’t have to reach out to your phone often. Smart Reply will suggests responses to incoming messages. It will also show the full conversation thread, not just the last message.

If you receive a photo, you can view it on the watch itself. And if an emoji says more than words can, you can send back an AR Emoji or a Bitmoji sticker.

This update also allows you to access music playlists stored on your phone. Additionally, the screenshot feature now supports scroll capture. The new Fall detection feature will send out an SOS message (including your location) to up to four predefined contacts.
