Samsung Galaxy Watches will be the next target of the phone maker's transition towards AI as the technology provides its capabilities to track the wearer's health and give wellness tips.
In a blog post on Wednesday, Samsung unveiled the arrival of its flagship Galaxy AI system to its branded smartwatches to provide people with "more comprehensive health insights."

The AI-powered features will not only track people's physical and workout movements but will also be able to provide personal health metrics during sleep and resting time.
This includes tracking of movements, sleep latency, heart rate, and respiratory rate in addition to the previous metrics available on the watches.

To top it all off, data gathered from the smartwatch will be compiled as in-depth analysis users can review to improve their lifestyles.
The AI-powered features are expected to be available on all recently released Samsung Galaxy Watches, although older models may receive the system improvements, as well.
