Key Points:
- Samsung is set to launch two new smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, later this month with enhanced health, fitness, and wellness features.
- The company is removing the Vascular Load feature from Galaxy Watches in the US, which had been in beta since last year, likely due to FDA regulatory requirements, though no official reason was given.
- Vascular Load, which monitored vascular stress during sleep using heart rate sensor data, will remain available in other countries but will be discontinued in the US, with users able to download their existing data before removal.
- Samsung will introduce a new Blood Pressure Trend feature on the upcoming Galaxy Watch models, automatically tracking blood pressure over time and offering health insights through the Samsung Health app.
- These updates, including the Blood Pressure Trend feature, will be part of the One UI 9 Watch update expected to roll out alongside the new smartwatches later this month.
