Generative AI Tiles

Designed around the way you use your wearable, Galaxy Watch brings together AI-curated Tiles and Google Gemini integration for a smarter, more streamlined experience. Key health and fitness insights, essential apps, and helpful tools are organised in swipeable widgets that keep important information close at hand. 

But Samsung takes this feature a step further. With Generative AI Tiles, users can create their own tiles, tailored even better to their needs and interests. 

Raise to Talk

With Raise to Talk, simply raise the Galaxy Watch9 to your mouth and speak a command to either Gemini or Bixby (voice assistant preference can be selected in Settings).

This feature allows voice commands to be given without pressing a button or saying a wake phrase. It's perfect for setting a timer while your hands are busy cooking, or for asking about the weather while you're getting ready to head out for the day.

Hard Fall Detection and SOS

Hard Fall Detection is a safety feature that senses when the wearer has fallen and needs help. It uses sensors to detect a fall and prompts the user to respond. If there is no response, it can inform primary contacts or emergency services. This helps users receive crucial assistance when they are unable to respond after a hard fall. 

SOS is another safety feature that can notify chosen emergency contacts and share the wearer's current location when activated. It is triggered by a configured watch control and intended for use only in an emergency, helping the wearer quickly alert trusted contacts when urgent assistance may be needed.

Heart Health

Heart Health is a wellness feature that provides insights into your cardiovascular health, providing a Heart Health score based on key factors, including:

- Vascular load 

- Sleep time

- Physical activity 

- BMI 

Tracking changes in your heart health measurements over time can help you spot trends or changes that may be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Having access to these insights can help you feel more informed and confident when talking about your health.

Vitals

This feature analyses overnight health measurements to compare them with the wearer's established baseline metrics. It compares heart rate, heart rate variability, breathing rate, skin temperature, and blood oxygen with an established baseline. It flags significant changes in these measurements, rather than reporting every minor variation. It helps you spot outliers and gain a clearer understanding of how your health transforms over time.

Sleep Apnoea 2.0

Sleep apnoea is a condition in which breathing momentarily stops during sleep, limiting the amount of oxygen circulating throughout the body. While the effects of this can be disruptive to daily life, people often are unaware of the true cause.

With Sleep Apnoea, breathing during sleep is analysed for any anomalies. Users who show possible symptoms of the disorder receive notification alerts (ranging from moderate to severe), ensuring they are aware of the risks and have the information they need to understand what may be happening. 

Hearing Protection

Hearing Protection monitors your environment for sound exposure, helping you recognise when your surroundings may increase the risk of hearing damage. Sound levels are measured over time to estimate whether noise exposure is prolonged or at potentially dangerous volume levels. With this insight, you can take steps to protect your hearing. 

Whether you're commuting, attending a concert, or working in a noisy environment, it can help you become more aware of the sounds around you and make informed decisions about when to reduce exposure. Over time, this increased awareness can support healthier listening habits and contribute to long-term hearing health.
