“Wearables are among the fastest-advancing technology sectors, and the pace of progress is only accelerating. In recent months, we’ve seen immense growth in the market as people turn to smartwatches and earbuds to help them thrive in the ‘Next Normal'”, said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “Since introducing our first smartwatch just seven years ago, we have become a leader in wearable innovation. Today, we’re laser-focused on building on this momentum to offer new and differentiated experiences – combined with the bold design and advanced technology that our customers have come to expect.”

Galaxy Watch3: Manage Your Life with Advanced Wellness Technology

Galaxy Watch3 is a next-generation companion that helps you manage your routines, reach your fitness goals and make wellness a top priority every day. Built with stainless steel and high-quality leather¹, Galaxy Watch3 boasts the craftsmanship of a luxury timepiece, with a transforming look and defining style – yet it is still comfortable enough to wear all day.  Galaxy Watch3 also features the popular rotating bezel from previous Galaxy watch models, which merges form with function. With just a turn of the bezel, you can easily toggle between widgets, open apps and scroll through notifications. Compared to the original Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch3 is 14% thinner, 8% smaller and 15% lighter²— combined with a large display. You can also customize the watch face to reflect your personal style. You can choose from over 80,000 watch faces in the Galaxy Store, or design your own. A library of 40 different options allows you to personalize your watch face with information that’s important to you.

With an integrated heart rate sensor for added peace of mind, you can easily keep an eye on your heart rate⁴ using the fitness tracker . In addition, the Galaxy Watch3 Fall Detection feature⁵ enables you to send an SOS SMS message or call to emergency contacts if you have a hard fall. 

Beginning a fitness routine can be difficult, but Galaxy Watch3 has an integrated running coach⁶ to help keep you on track, and is a powerful exercise companion that delivers real-time feedback and post-exercise evaluations to help drive improvement.

Helpful especially when at home, you have access to a “fitness studio” with Samsung Health, which features a library of more than 120 different video workouts. Simply select a workout routine on your Galaxy smartphone, cast it onto your Samsung Smart TV⁷, and your Galaxy Watch3 will take care of the rest and automatically track the workout. Since recovery can be just as important as the exercise, Samsung has been developing its sleep management offering since it was first introduced back in 2014. Now, Galaxy Watch3 offers brand new sleep score and insights to help you get better rest.

In addition, seamless compatibility between the Galaxy Watch3 and other Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Note20 Series 5G, helps amplify your mobile experiences. You can set automatic reply options for both messages and images, and easily view emoticons and photos directly from your wrist. You can also effortlessly control your mobile experience; play your favourite music from your phone with the rotating bezel; and use simple hand gestures⁸, like clenching and unclenching your fist to receive a call, or rotating your wrist to mute alarms or incoming calls.
