Fun ways to use your Galaxy Watch when it’s synced with your Galaxy Phone

Tweet

The Galaxy Watch has been an indispensable partner to the Galaxy smartphone since 2018 for achieving fitness goals and tracking other health and wellness activities. But did you know that it also works as a portable planner for tasks and makes a great extension to your phone?

Five years since the launch of the first Galaxy Watch, it has evolved from a fitness tracker, to being a complement for the Galaxy smartphone in keeping tabs on different activities on your apps. Sporting a mini chatbox, planner, radio, and fitness tracker on your wrist has never been this helpful!

If you are deciding on getting your own Galaxy Watch, here are a list of ways it can make tasks so much easier or more fun when it’s synced to your Galaxy smartphone:

Track your health stats

Stay on top of your wellness goals as you check health data both on your Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Watch. The Samsung Health app can be synced from your phone to the Galaxy Watch just by tapping “More Options” then “Settings”. Select the Samsung Watch accessory or “Scan for accessories” if not listed. This also allows you to also check on your heart rate and Electrocardiogram (ECG) levels from the app through your Galaxy Watch. At the end of a long busy day, sleep with your Galaxy Watch on and wake up to a sleep report of your body movements, heart rate, and oxygen levels.

Keep tabs on emails and schedules

As you gear up for a busy day ahead, checking your schedule and emails via your phone while on the way to work could be a hazard. But it's super easy to stay connected with your Galaxy Watch - you can sync your Gmail and Calendar app so your meetings and reminders are right on your wrist. You can even check your emails through the Galaxy watch, and recite your reply through the microphone and it will transcribe to text!

Play music on-the-go

Enjoy your favorite playlist during a workout, in transit, or as ambient sounds while finishing tasks at work from your Galaxy Watch through your connected Galaxy smartphone. Just ensure that the settings on your phone have the “Auto sync” on. To never miss the countless tunes on your Spotify playlist, simply download the app and your favorite tracks to your Galaxy Watch. Your tracks can be played even offline without having to bring out your phone with your your earbuds or the Watch’s speakers.

Check and respond to messages, anytime

If you receive a message via messaging apps in the middle of a workout or while enjoying a meal with friends, you can check or even type a quick reply using your Galaxy Watch as long as the message notification is activated. When a new message is received, a slight vibration or sound alert will appear immediately on screen. If you miss the alert, you can go back to the message by swiping the watch face to the right and you can compose a quick reply by tapping an emoji or tying a message.

Sync your devices fuss free

Enjoy all of these functions with your Samsung Watch when you connect it to your Samsung smartphone! Just enable your phone’s Bluetooth and the watch will connect to the phone. If you are connecting the watch to a new phone, simply reset your watch by pressing the “Home” and “Back” buttons and wait for reset to finish. Upon finishing the reset, go to “Settings” on the watch and select “General”. Then tap, “Connect to a new phone” and you’re good to maximize your Samsung Watch functions without having to pull out your phone.

Make the ultimate game-changing experience with CLICK125

Tanauan City, Batangas – [July 21, 2023] – Without a doubt, life is returning to how it used to be before the pandemic. At least, for the most part that is. Everywhere you go, the signs are here. You see more people dining out, taking trips out of town, going to the mall, going to events and parties, and yes, going back to an on-site work arrangement.

As a company that values its employees, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the No.1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country believes in the principle of proper work-life balance as essential in maintaining workforce morale and productivity. And to this end, HPI shares how CLICK125 is the ideal motorcycle as the workforce goes back to a more on-site work set-up regardless if it’s a full on-site arrangement or a hybrid work set-up.

The fact is that you need to work. Indeed, you spend many hours working. But how fast and how soon you get to the office on the days you need to be, affects how productive you can be so that you have more time to spend on the things that you truly value, like family time and me time.

For instance, since the lifting of the travel ban, commuting to the office takes up a lot of time. It also means that often you are already stressed and exhausted and yet the work has not even begun. So, this is where motorcycles like CLICK125 can be an important means to get to work on time, even earlier. After all, only a motorcycle can zip in and out a traffic jam quickly. It also lets you by-pass bottlenecks along the road on your way to work.

And this motorcycle has what it takes. It has 4-Stroke, 2-Valve, SOHC, Liquid Cooled, eSP engine technology using ACG starter to provide 8.2kW of max power @ 8,500rpm with a max torque of 10.8Nm @ 5,000rpm. And its broad foam seat offers you loads of comfort for long rides. Its 769 mm seat height makes the bike ideal for shorter riders.

What’s more, it has Wider Tubeless Tires for more precise handling while maintaining a stylish look as well as Honda’s Combi Brake System or CBS for superior control and stability when decelerating – important when weaving through traffic as you get to and from work. Lastly, the bike’s all-LED headlights, taillights and winkers ensures excellent visibility to keep you safe from other motorists.

Now, getting to the office is much faster and this means you won’t be late for those meetings – and get you there in style! Plus, you arrive at the office less stressed so you are more productive. And because you get home much faster, you have more time to spend with family!

What about when you want to just escape the stresses of everyday work to re-charge? CLICK125 also has that covered. After all, work-life balance should not be all about work. It’s a fact that you need to escape the city from time-to-time even if only for a weekend.

This ensures you come back to work refreshed and ready to take on whatever it is your job may throw at you. That is why it is important to take short, out-of-town breaks whenever possible. It not only allows us to relax, it also lets us enjoy the great outdoors while reconnecting with family and friends.

With CLICK125, quick leisure trips is something you can do in a heartbeat and with less worry on the budget. It has an efficiency rating of 50.3Km/L. This means that it offers unmatched economy. What’s more, its PGM-FI technology provides outstanding power and driveability, while reducing fuel emissions without compromising fuel efficiency.

Plus, its 18L luggage box can carry all the personal things you will need. It also has built-in USB charger to keep your phone charged all the time so you don’t miss a chance for those all-important selfie whenever and wherever you happen to be.

Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? CLICK125, reasonably priced at Php80,900.00, is just the bike you for that all-important work-life balance. And since it’s available at all Honda Dealers nationwide, owning one is easy-peasy.

OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 Kicks Off to Empower the Global Pantanal Service

Tweet

OPPO ColorOSHack 2023, themed "Pantanal Service, Empowering Lives with Intelligence," kicks off on July 11th (Beijing time). The contest encourages global developers to tap into Pantanal's existing capabilities, offering intelligent living experiences for over 500 million ColorOS users worldwide by focusing on situations such as lifestyle, transportation, and entertainment.

OPPO ColorOSHack 2023

The Pantanal Ecosystem Is Opening Up to Invite Southeast Asian Developers

Since its release, the Pantanal Comprehensively Intelligent Platform has been in collaboration with 21 eco-partners, including top companies such as Meituan, Baidu Map, Umetrip and Xiaohongshu in China, as well as Snapchat, Spotify, Zamato, and Swiggy overseas. Among them, four ecological partners have reached strategic cooperation in scenarios covering life services, travel, entertainment, office and other fields, meaning more than 300,000 developers have contributed to the construction of the Pantanal ecosystem.

As part of the Pantanal innovation ecosystem, OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 was officially opened for global registration on July 11 and will last until September 15. This year's competition will focus on Southeast Asia, aiming to find local service providers or developers in scenarios such as lifestyle services, transportation services and entertainment services, encouraging them to develop smart services in relevant scenarios, conceptualize scenarios and design interaction forms by learning the Pantanal Platform, to explore services that meet the local market in Southeast Asia. 

A Comprehensive Developer Empowerment System to Enhance Development Efficiency from Multiple Dimensions

In addition to the continuation of the previous prize money system, the contest will open up the corresponding development capabilities of the Pantanal Platform and the Pantanal DevKit, including Pantanal DevFwk, Pantanal DevStudio, and supporting guidelines to help developers achieve low-cost, cross-terminal service development quickly.

Pantanal Platform has made accessible various development capabilities, including Context Awareness, Service Running, and Natural Interaction. For instance, Pantanal DevFwk may be used to transform sophisticated cross-terminal, multi-service entry points into easy-to-use interfaces. This enables each development to quickly adapt to various terminals and entry points while optimizing cross-platform operating efficiency to satisfy developers' demands.

The brand-new Pantanal DevStudio can provide multiple business module options for developers by integrating the integrated development environment for relevant Pantanal modules, thus helping them to reduce costs and improve efficiency significantly. It also features consistent cross-platform rendering and real-time preview across multiple entry points and devices, enabling developers to obtain and validate results quickly.

In OPPO ColorOSHack 2023, developers will experience these Pantanal Platform open capabilities and Pantanal DevKits in advance while greatly improving development efficiency. A single developer is expected to accomplish service development in as little as three days and end-to-end service uploads in 30 days.

Pantanal: Comprehensively Intelligent Platform

To answer developers' questions about the contest and guide developers in utilizing Pantanal Platform open capabilities and Pantanal DevStudio, OPPO ColorOS has arranged online event briefings and online salons for Q&A and explanations. During the final round's device debugging phase, participants will receive technical support directly from the OPPO technical team. Additionally, the contest has invited local Southeast Asian entrepreneurs and OPPO industry experts to the final venue, where they will offer participants professional advice. It is also worth noting that the OPPO App Store will support and reward the winning works.

Furthermore, OPPO ColorOS offers complete assistance to Pantanal ecosystem developers, including year-round developer live stream (Otalk), a developer community, salon events, and a developer academy part on the open platform's official website. More salon events, live stream, and training materials will be made available in the coming days.

OPPO ColorOSHack 2022

Join OPPO ColorOSHack 2023 to Co-create a Human-centered, Beyond-boundary Ecosystem

In the context of beyond-boundary ecosystem, OPPO ColorOS aims to provide more support for Southeast Asian developers through the contest, to lower development barriers, optimize training systems, and assist outstanding global makers in smoothly carrying out projects. A more open and dynamic Pantanal ecosystem will be established to expand the possibilities for the intelligent living experiences of over 500 million ColorOS users globally.
