Samsung has updated its 4th-generation wearable, the 'Galaxy Watch4' with three major health-focused features. The first feature is the device's new body composition targets and insights feature. This feature enables the device to log the wearer's body fat percentage, skeletal muscle mass, and weight over time. The feature also provides more detailed information on BMI, hydration, and BMR levels. With this feature, users can set goals related to each of the main metrics, and the smartwatch will periodically remind the wearer to stay on track to meet their preset goals.
The other two features are the fitness tracking modules and the sleep coaching system. The fitness tracking module measures exercise-related statistics, such as heart rate, calories burned, duration of activity, and sweat loss. With the watch's sweat loss feature, the device is capable of reminding the wearer to hydrate when they become dehydrated. Lastly, the sleep coaching system tracks sleep patterns and provides recommendations on how long one should sleep for, and on how to improve the quality of one's sleep.
