The Galaxy Watch5 models are capable of monitoring BP (blood pressure) and ECG (electrocardiogram), while, Samsung is now unlocking these features for users in the Philippines. Thanks to the intelligent BioActive sensor, Galaxy Watch users can track their health status directly from the wrist.

How to use:

Blood Pressure

Install the Samsung Health Monitor application onto your Galaxy smartphone and connect it to your compatible Galaxy Watch5 then calibrate it with a traditional cuff. Voila, you can now measure the blood pressure on your smartwatch anytime, anywhere.

Do note that the Galaxy Watch5 measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the Heart Rate Monitoring sensors. Then, the program records the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine BP.

Electrocardiogram

The ECG (electrocardiogram) feature works by recording the heart’s electrical activity through a sensor on the Galaxy Watch5. You just need to open the Samsung Health Monitor app, sit comfortably and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to your wrist.

Now, rest your forearm on a flat surface and lightly place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the watch for 30 seconds. Once done, the app will measure your heart rate and rhythm, which will be displayed as either a Sinus Rhythm (a normal, regular heartbeat) or AFib (when the heart beats irregularly).

Install the latest firmware update on your Galaxy Watch5 via the Samsung Wearable app to get access to BP and ECG features!

It’s truly great news for Samsung fans owning the Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatch. Since these wearable lineups run Google’s Wear OS platform, all the novelties would be available on top of the next One UI Watch version.

According to the report, Android 14 code changes show that the company is planning to bring Material You Dynamic Colors feature support to the Wear OS platform. Android’s wearables-related settings present list has added a new option called “DYNAMIC_COLOR_THEME_ENABLED.”

The current Wear OS 3 version is based on Android 11, but, still, it takes quite a bit of design influence from Material You, between system UI design and individual apps. As part of a future update of Wear OS, the platform would add the most awaited dynamic color support.

It’s not clear, whether the next Wear OS version will be based on Android 13 or Android 14. However, it’s going to be a major switch, which will offer more new features to wearable devices along with usability improvements and ease of access.

Folks over at 9to5Google believe that watch faces could inform the Wear OS system of what colors to use for a Material You theme. On the flip side, it might simply match the dynamic color scheme of your paired Android phone, assuming it supports theming.
