BP and ECG monitoring features now available in the PH with the latest update of the Galaxy Watch5 Series

Tweet

Filipino users can now monitor their blood pressure and heart rate with the Galaxy Watch5 Series. Here’s how:

The watch that knows your health best just got better as the Galaxy Watch5 Series can now help you track your blood pressure and heart rate with its latest update. Easily monitor these key health indicators through the powerful Samsung BioActive sensor[i] on the Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro.

Accurate Health Monitoring, Made Easy

To enable the blood pressure monitoring feature, install the Samsung Health Monitor application onto your Galaxy smartphone and connect it to your compatible Galaxy Watch then calibrate with a traditional cuff. They will then be able to tap to “measure” the blood pressure anytime, anywhere.

The Galaxy Watch5 measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the Heart Rate Monitoring sensors. The program then records the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine the blood pressure. Once the calibration and set-up process are completed, users can access this information and export measurements to PDF.

Meanwhile, the electrocardiogram (ECG) function works by recording the heart’s electrical activity via a sensor on the compatible Galaxy Watch. All you need to do is open your Samsung Health Monitor app while seated comfortably, and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to your wrist. Next, rest your forearm on a flat surface and lightly place a fingertip from the opposite hand on the top button on the smartwatch for 30 seconds.

The app will then 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). You can also export this data to PDF.

Aside from BP and ECG monitoring, the Galaxy Watch5 Series also has improved sleep tracking technology. Plan your bedtime, detect snoring, understand and track your sleep stages (awake, light, deep REM) via 8 animal sleep symbols representing your sleep type, and you’ll also receive nightly sleep reports so you can rest easy.

For fitness tracking, the Galaxy Watch5 Series counts your steps, calories, and even your routines. It even supports over 90 exercises that you can track from your watch. And if you’re a fitness enthusiast who needs a watch to keep up with you on your outdoor activities, consider the Watch5 Pro as it comes with GPS route tracking guides turn-by-turn directions for cyclists and hikers.

Longer & Stronger, Durable & Stylish

The Galaxy Watch5 series also delivers its most durable and powerful performance yet for the series. The Galaxy Watch5 comes with a 15% bigger battery for 20% faster charging - it only takes about 30 minutes to go from 0% up to 45% charge so you’re ready to go in no time! Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro comes with the biggest battery capacity among Samsung’s wearable series, lasting for 24 hours even with continuous GPS use and 80 hours on standby.

The Galaxy Watch5 series was also designed with durability in mind. Both are water resistant and crafted with premium Sapphire crystal to take those hard knocks. The Watch5 Pro even comes with a titanium body case – talk about tough!

And when it comes to style, the Galaxy Watch5 Series makes it easy to stay fit in style. The Galaxy Watch5 comes in fresh and trendy colors – the 40mm in Composite Gray, Iconic Gold and Silver, with straps in Gray, Pink Gold and Lavender, while the 44mm comes in Composite Gray, Navy Blue and Silver, with straps in Gray, New Blue and White. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro comes in Black Titanium and Gray Titanium – classics that go with any kind of outdoor ensemble.

You can also select from a variety of watch faces – from analog to digital, vintage to modern, express your style with the Galaxy Watch5 series.

The Galaxy Watch5 40mm is available starting at PHP 16,990 while the Galaxy Watch5 Pro retails for PHP 26,990. These watches are also available at 30% off with every purchase of the latest Galaxy S23 Series.

Filipinos among the most sleepless in the world. Here’s how the newest Galaxy Watch5 Series can help

Tweet

 

Filipinos are among the world's most sleep-deprived, according to a global health study. And, while a lack of sleep can be caused by a variety of factors such as work, illness, stress, excessive use of social media, and unhealthy eating habits, failing to get enough rest can lead to serious health problems in the long run.

Sufficient sleep demonstrates long-term benefits and allows body systems to work better. An adequate shut-eye has impacts on how people will function physically and mentally the next day. It also strengthens a person’s immunity from diseases and viruses.

Achieving a healthy sleeping routine is not easy, especially when people do not have the means to track their habits. With this in mind, Samsung launched its newest Galaxy Watch5 Series designed to enable users to achieve ideal sleeping patterns with the help of technology.

The smartwatch that knows you even with eyes closed

The Galaxy Watch5 and Watch Pro are both equipped with a Sleep Tracker that detects and analyzes users’ sleeping and snoring patterns as well as blood oxygen levels so they don’t forget the value of adequate rest.

These smartwatches also monitor all levels of sleep, including REM cycles, to assist users in adjusting their sleeping^[1] habits and informing them on how much rest is required to get through the day. They help plan users’ bedtime, detect their snoring^[2], and track their sleep with four sleep stages: awake, light, deep, and REM using eight animal symbols that represent their sleep type. In addition, they even deliver advanced insights from the National Sleep Foundation to improve sleep quality and duration.

Aside from that, if users wish to quickly check their body composition^[3] the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro have Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) that provides precise measurements of their body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, and body water within 15 seconds^[4]. The smartwatches also sport BioActive Sensors, which can monitor blood pressure and test heart rhythms, making electrocardiogram (ECG) tests handy.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro have revolutionized the way fitness enthusiasts and even beginners track their health. The features of both smartwatches provide accurate health data, inspiring users to sleep better and perform healthier routines. It also offers a battery capacity of 410mAh and 284mAh for the Galaxy Watch5, and 590mAh for the Galaxy Watch5 Pro, with fast-charging for longer usage and a maximized experience^[5].

The importance of personalized feedback

Along with the enhanced features, Samsung knows that feedback is essential to improving progress. People believe that to be the best version of themselves, they need to know more and be guided properly. And Samsung doesn’t just listen, it engineers what's best for users. With that, the enhanced Galaxy Watch5 Series detects over 90 exercises and personal routines. It even provides personalized feedback based on the user's workout^[6] performance.

The ultra-stylish yet premium design of Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Series is fit for any occasion and everyday function wear. Users may keep it on anywhere, anytime, rain or shine, as the smartwatch is water and sweat-resistant.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Series is now available to be everyone’s fitness companion at the following prices and colors:

●       Galaxy Watch5 (40mm) Bluetooth - PHP 16,990 (Available in Silver, Graphite, and Pink Gold)

●       Galaxy Watch5 (40mm) LTE - PHP 19,990 (Available in Silver, Graphite, and Pink Gold)
