Like every year, Samsung should bring us to the market a new wearable with which to continue growing and improving its offer of smart watches, and it seems that this year the news will be oriented towards new functions related to health, benefits that may sound like another option available on the market.
This will be the Galaxy Watch Active 2
Rumors suggest that the new version of the Samsung watch will arrive in 40 and 44 mm, and as the main novelty they will discard the unmistakable rotating bezel that so characterized the Korean company's watches, although it is an element that has already disappeared with the original Watch Active, it must also be said.
However, the focus will be on the new functions, some peculiarities that according to SamMobile They will pay close attention to what is offered by the Apple Watch series 4, since Samsung seems to have decided to include functions of electrocardiogram to be able to have heart rate information in enough detail. Thus, users will be able to know if they suffer from any symptom in their rhythm, be it an arrhythmia or other irregularity. There is also talk that the data may be shared with a doctor, so it will be necessary to see if they plan to launch an independent platform.
The watch will have such advanced components that it will even be able to provide information to a user with atrial fibrillation or cardiac arrhythmias thanks to background monitoring of heart rate. SamMobile Remember that the Watch Series 4 needed FDA approval to be able to implement these functions, so it is possible that in the case of Samsung the story repeats itself and the device does not arrive with the active functions until it receives permission.
watch out for falls
Another of the new functions that this Galaxy Watch 2 will include is a fall detection. Once again, it will be a utility similar to the one present in the Apple Watch Series 4, and it will be in charge of detecting when a strong fall occurs to display an alert on the screen and give way to vibration alerts to attract the user's attention. . The user can call emergencies by pressing on the screen, although if no interaction occurs at a predetermined time, it will be the watch that makes the emergency call automatically, in addition to sending text messages to the contacts that we have configured as important.
