Samsung recently previewed its new One UI 6 Watch OS for Galaxy Watches. The update brings some neat artificial intelligence features from Samsung phones to eligible watches like Watch 6, 5, and 4 series.
This software update comes with improvements in several key areas. Samsung Health now provides a daily “energy score” based on your sleep and activity levels, letting you know when rest may be needed or when to push yourself a little more. Sleep tracking also includes details like heart rate and breathing rate during sleep.
You can create custom workout routines with set targets. Controls are better too, with a double pinch gesture for quick actions, faster scrolling, and easy views of ongoing activities.
Universal gestures and modes make things easier. Notifications are managed better, and new features include a stylish font, longer battery life, and auto Bluetooth audio connection.
