The Samsung Galaxy Ecosystem
Passive Tracking
Your Galaxy Watch and the Samsung Health app work together to deliver always-on tracking that requires zero effort from you. By day, your watch monitors your heart rate and activity to help you understand your body better. By night, it captures detailed metrics like sleep stages, movement and heart rate to build a clearer recovery picture¹. Sync this all to Samsung Health to get actionable insights from your wrist. Passive tracking like this was previously offered by the Galaxy Ring, which is no longer available. Not sure whether a ring or a watch suits you? Our smart ring vs smartwatch guide explains the differences.

Stress Management
Alongside exercise and diet, stress is important to monitor. Your Galaxy wearable can detect rising stress levels through heart rate and variability changes. Prompts from your Galaxy Watch can provide stress relief through guided breathing or mindfulness activity. Samsung Health then logs these moments, helping to spot patterns in what is driving your stressful moments⁶.
