When it comes to health, small changes can make a big difference. Every incremental improvement to daily habits contribute to a healthier whole, and the upcoming One UI 8 Watch is designed to help build these habits more effectively through a suite of new features that support sleep, heart health, fitness and nutrition.
What’s New:
New features include Bedtime Guidance to optimize sleep; Vascular Load to measure stress on the vascular system during sleep; Running Coach to support personalized training strategies; and Antioxidant Index to measure carotenoid levels for healthy aging.
These features — part of One UI 8 Watch on the latest Galaxy Watch series — will be available to a limited number of users through a beta program.
Why it Matters:
The goal of these new features is to help build healthier daily habits — which can be challenging as they don’t develop overnight. It takes time to form lasting behavior patterns, and meaningful change often becomes visible only after sustained effort.
But the rewards are worth it. For example, while eating unhealthy food may not have an immediate impact, it can lead to significant health consequences over time.
Conversely, healthy habits may not produce instant results, but they often contribute to long-term physical and mental well-being.
“Sleep remains a cornerstone of our approach to health as it influences physical and mental well-being, social relationships and even work performance,” said Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics.
“Now, we envision the Galaxy Watch delivering holistic insights centered around sleep — insights that lead to meaningful changes in daily life. We believe this aligns with our vision of empowering people to lead healthier lives through proactive care and holistic health management.”

Samsung Health’s new features are designed to help users build healthy habits by providing instant feedback as a motivating tool.
