[Video] "Measure Body Fat Percentage in 15 Seconds" Galaxy Watch4

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] The ‘Galaxy Watch4’ series unveiled by Samsung Electronics on the night of the 11th at ‘Galaxy Unpacked 2021’ supports health checkup-level services that can measure skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, and more in just 15 seconds, and features enhanced connectivity that automatically adds the watch4 app when installed on a smartphone.

The Watch4 series is the first product to be equipped with the integrated operating system (OS) ‘Wear OS 3’, co-developed with Google, and applies the ‘One UI Watch’ interface based on it for the first time. When apps are downloaded from the Google Play Store, the same apps can be used on the Watch4, increasing usability. Google Maps, Spotify, and other apps that were not available on the previous Tizen OS can now be used.

The device specs have also been upgraded. The most notable feature is that it is the first watch series to be equipped with a 5-nanometer (nm) processor. Compared to its predecessor, the central processing unit (CPU) performance has improved by 20%, and the RAM has increased by 50%, resulting in faster speeds and smoother screen transitions.

The Watch4 series is equipped with the ‘Samsung BioActive Sensor’, which combines three sensors?optical heart rate sensor, electrical heart sensor, and bioelectrical impedance analysis sensor?into one, enhancing health management functions. In particular, it is the first watch series to support body composition measurement. By simply placing two fingers on the watch, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, body water, and body fat percentage can be checked in 15 seconds. It also informs whether the body is sufficiently recovering during rest, and can assess sleep quality by measuring blood oxygen saturation and snoring.

The Galaxy Watch4 series will be released in ‘Watch’ and ‘Classic’ models. Prices range from 269,000 to 330,000 KRW and 369,000 to 429,000 KRW, respectively. They are scheduled to be released sequentially worldwide starting from the 27th.
