Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 hands-on: Smarter sleep, antioxidant tracking and mental wellness

Shortly after Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in New York, I had the chance to participate in a dedicated Health Immersion session to experience the Galaxy Watch 8 series' new and refined health features. Besides having a slimmer squircle design and a brighter display with up to 3000 nits, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series is designed to encourage sustainable and positive changes covering sleep, stress, fitness and even nutrition. Smarter sleep insights, not just sleep hours Samsung has been refining its sleep tracking feature over several generations of its wearables. Besides logging how many hours you've sleep, the Galaxy Watch 8 not only detects sleep stages (light, deep, REM) but it also measures your blood oxygen level, heart rate and respiratory patterns to provide a more complete Sleep Score. There's also an updated Sleep Coaching function which guides users to develop good habits to help you to relax before you go to bed. The updated Sleep Coaching feature helps users build healthy habits to relax before bedtime. — SoyaCincau pic At the session, Dr Vanessa Hill, a sleep scientist and a creator behind the BrainCraft YouTube channel, shared how quality of sleep isn't just about total hours, but also about consistency. She also highlighted that the Galaxy Watch 8 and Samsung Health app now offer Bedtime Guidance, which suggests optimal bedtime based on your lifestyle and sleep history. It also nudges you with reminders to help you stick to it. Dr Hill cited findings from the UK Biobank study covering nearly 61,000 participants, noting that sleep regularity was a stronger predictor of all-cause mortality than sleep duration. She also shared the concept of bedtime procrastination as a meaningful and modifiable contributor to inadequate sleep associated with shorter sleep duration, poorer sleep quality and increased daytime fatigue. Accountability, she said, is a missing yet desired factor. Many people struggle to maintain a consistent bedtime without external expectations or someone to hold them accountable. And night time, she emphasised, is the hardest time to motivate to sleep as self-discipline is at its lowest compared to other times of the day. The Galaxy Watch 8 also features a Sleep Apnea Detection feature, which received De Novo authorisation from the US FDA, to detect moderate to severe signs of Sleep Apnea over a two-night monitoring period. There's also a Vascular Load feature that helps to monitor your stress levels on your vascular system while you sleep. On the plus side, wearing the Galaxy Watch 8 overnight is now more comfortable thanks to its lighter and slimmer build, and redesigned dynamic lug system. However, it is still recommended to perform a quick battery top up before you start the day as I wouldn't count on the Galaxy Watch 8 to last for two straight days on a single charge. A new health metric: Antioxidant Index One key highlight from the session was the new Antioxidant Index feature. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is the first smartwatch to measure the Antioxidant Index and it takes just 5 seconds. Users simply place their thumb on the BioActive Sensor behind the watch to get a quick reading. It measures carotenoid levels in the skin which are essentially pigments found in red, yellow and orange fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and oranges. Carotenoids are antioxidants that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through food or dietary supplements. Alongside carotenoids, fruits and vegetables are rich in other antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, polyphenols, and retinol. Antioxidants are important to maintain good health as it can help to prevent chronic illnesses by neutralising free radicals and reducing oxidative stress in the body. The Antioxidant Index ranges from 0 to 100, and is meant to help users determine whether they're eating enough fruit and vegetables. From my own test, my Antioxidant Index levels are very low as the Galaxy Watch 8 constantly recorded less than 40 points. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the recommended intake is at least 400g of fruits and vegetables per day. The Antioxidant Index is an interesting new feature to encourage healthy aging with the right daily intake of fruits and vegetables. It complements existing metrics like body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass in the Samsung Health. Mindfulness to keep your stress levels in check Samsung continues to expand on its mindfulness toolkit with features that promote emotional awareness and relaxation. In the session, we tried a short breathing and reflection activity with the Galaxy Watch 8. These mindfulness features including Mood Check-in and guided breathing exercises have been around on previous Galaxy Watch models. The breathing modes include Box (4-4-4-4) for relaxation, Long Exhale (4-7-8) for sleep, and Equal breathing (5-0-5) for better focus. Alternatively, or users can configure their own custom routines to suit different moments throughout the day. If the Watch detects a high level of stress, a High Stress Alert will alert you and recommends taking a break and to manage your stress levels in real time. The built-in Mindfulness Tracker on your wrist lets you check-in your current mood and recommends breathing exercise to reduce your stress levels. Personal Running Coach on your wrist Whether you're practicing for an upcoming run or simply just want to move more, the Galaxy Watch 8 features a running coach that acts like your personal trainer. To find out your running level on a scale from 1 to 10, it can measure your current fitness with a 12-minute run and creates a tailored 3-5- week training plan just for you. It delivers real-time guidance, motivational insights, and continuous progress updates, to help you achieve your running goals. This segment of the Health Immersion session was led by John Peel, a personal trainer and former NCAA Division football player. Some of his shared tips include: Focus more on time over distance—especially for beginners. Consistency matters more than speed. Maintain a relaxed posture: loose jaw, loose shoulders, and relaxed fingertips. Be mindful of your gear: running shoes typically last 300–500 miles (about 480–800 km). A new pair can reset your mindset and act as a motivational boost. Track your journey with Samsung Health and hold yourself accountable. From the Health Immersion session, Samsung is trying to position the Galaxy Watch 8 not just as a fitness device paired to your smartphone but also a holistic health companion. Across the different features from sleep tracking to antioxidant index and mindfulness tools, there's a clear focus on helping users better understand their daily habits beyond just counting steps. Galaxy Watch 8 includes a built-in running coach to support your training and daily fitness goals. — SoyaCincau pic At the moment, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 series are available for pre-order and here's a recap on the pricing: Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) WiFi – RM1,299 Galaxy Watch 8 (40mm) WiFi + LTE – RM1,599 Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm) WiFi – RM1,399 Galaxy Watch 8 (44mm) WiFi + LTE – RM1,699 Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (46mm) WiFi – RM1,799 Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (46mm) WiFi + LTE – RM2,099 Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 (47mm) WiFi + LTE – RM3,399 As part of the pre-order promo, Samsung Malaysia is offering savings worth up to RM966.

Apple Watch could get this feature that Galaxy and Pixel Watches offer for ages

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR The Apple Watch may soon display a comprehensive score based on your sleep. The purported feature, which could be a basic sleep score or a readiness score, is already available on a host of Wear OS watches, including the Galaxy Watch and Pixel Watch. The sleep-related score could fill the gap created by the removal of SpO2 monitoring from the Apple Watch. Smartwatches across the board bill sleep tracking as one of the vital features, and the number of metrics used to gauge it typically increases with price. Certain Wear OS smartwatches, such as the Galaxy Watch and OnePlus Watch series, also display a daily sleep score to recap the metrics without requiring a detailed review. And now, it appears that the Apple Watch may be catching up with these watches and gaining similar functionality. Under piles of code in the iOS 26 beta, MacRumors has spotted an image and some references that hint at a sleep score functionality. The picture shows the outline of an Apple Watch with the number '84' displayed on the screen, while the Watch is surrounded by symbols that directly point to a feature associated with sleep. MacRumors Inside the image, the number is surrounded by a ring with arcs made from different colors. These colors are identical to those used by the Apple Watch to display the stages of sleep, including different shades of purple for light and deep sleep, blue for REM sleep, and a warm red to show the duration of moments when you were awake at night. The different colors used for the ring suggest it could display portions for these different sleep phases similar to a pie chart. The feature is currently labelled as 'Watch Focus Score,' which also suggests Apple might be looking beyond a basic sleep score and instead integrating the equivalent of the readiness score shown on Samsung or Fitbit watches. The Apple Watch already displays health and recovery-related data through its Vitals app and its 28-day training load, and a readiness score could make the package more comprehensive. The inclusion is also pertinent for the US, where Apple has been forced to disable its blood oxygen (SpO2) monitoring sensor on the Apple Watch, as another tech company, Masimo, claims a patent on the underlying technology. Since Apple Watch models already offer comprehensive sleep tracking, we can expect older watches to receive support, as well. However, we cannot completely overrule the possibility that Apple is only testing the feature and may not release it for the Apple Watch until a few more generations. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Here's why the Oura Ring 4 is a postpartum mum's unexpected best friend

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I've been using an Apple Watch user for a while now, starting with a Series 6 and later upgrading to a Series 8 when it was released three years ago. So for about five years now, I've had a bulky square-ish dial on my wrist- and I still do, as I type this article. On the flip side, I've owned the Oura Ring 4 for only about 3 weeks now, and it has become this silent source of encouragement pushing me to take care of myself while I go about my life. As a first-time mom, my sleep cycle has been erratic, to say the least, with frequent nightly wake-ups to feed my infant. This is exactly why I needed to know if I was getting optimal rest and if my health was truly supporting my ability to function during the day. This was the primary reason behind trying out the new Oura Ring 4, which, when compared to a smartwatch, is manageable to sleep with. Now, I use the Oura Ring 4 all the time as an overall health tracker, while the Apple Watch sticks to being my fitness companion. Prime Day returns July 8th: check out our ultimate guide While setting up my Oura Ring, the app asked me a bunch of questions to determine whether I had any special circumstances or health issues that could impact my readings, to which I ticked off the option of having small kids at home, acknowledging the fact that this could affect my sleep score. For instance, after a night of only about 5.7 hours of sleep, my Oura Ring app presented a detailed picture of my breathing patterns and heart rate, in addition to the standard awake time, REM sleep, deep sleep, and so on. This analysis put things into perspective for me, and the app gave me suggestions as to how I could avoid a long afternoon nap so I could get my sleep cycle back in sync, asking me to wind down during the night with a book or a quick mindfulness session, or taking steps to improve my sleep quality at night. While the advice didn't stem from the fact that I was frequently waking up because my infant needed me, it did give me actionable items that helped me understand my sleep scores better. The Oura Ring 4 tracks sleep using a special "Smart sensing" technology that involves a combination of advanced sensors that are fitted into the ring, along with machine-learning algorithms that are specifically trained to track different stages of sleep. It also has sensors that track your oxygen, heart, and respiratory rate to understand how your body functions when you sleep. As someone who is constantly juggling multiple responsibilities — from managing my role as a News editor, and also navigating the unpredictable challenges that come with having an infant, stress can easily become something that goes under the radar, manifesting as a headache or just pure anxiety, as I transition between home and work, without a moment to myself. This is when Oura's AI-powered Advisor comes into play. The sensors constantly monitor my physiological state, and when the smart ring tracks that I'm experiencing elevated levels of stress based on my heart rate variability (HRV), the app instantly sends me a quick notification to take a look at the stats and possibly step back and "breathe the stress away" with a quick four-minute mindfulness session that gives me the much needed moment of calm amidst the daily chaos. Beyond that, the Oura Ring 4 also doubles as a subtle activity coach. Instead of constantly bugging me with reminders to "close rings", it gently nudges me to get in 3-4 minutes of movement when it detects longer periods of inactivity. While I still track my workouts with the Watch, these soft reminders from the Oura Advisor actually play a crucial role in keeping me on track with my fitness goals. While those were the main reasons why I primarily use the Oura Ring 4, I sometimes also track my steps with it when I don't have my watch on. However, another cool feature that I'm currently experimenting with is "Meals," a super-easy way to keep track of what you're eating in a day. Unlike traditional food tracking apps that require users to manually input data, which again is time-consuming to me, all I have to do is take a picture of my plate, and this AI feature will break things down for me. It shows me each "Meal Item" and the nutrients my plate contains, helping me reach for healthier options. So if you're a first-time mom juggling work and the challenges that come with having a tiny human at home, then this ring-sized motivator is for you. It will keep track of your sleep, stress, and sanity. The best part is that you don't have to reach for the charger as often as you would for an Apple Watch, as it offers up to 8 days of battery on a single charge. While the Oura Ring 4 (starting around $349) is on the more expensive side, it's worth noting that the Oura Ring 3 has currently crashed back to its lowest price at Amazon ahead of Prime Day, offering a more accessible entry point into Oura's excellent tracking capabilities. Oura Ring Gen 3 (Heritage Silver): $249.00 $199.00 at Amazon Days before Prime Day officially kicks off on July 8th, buyers can get $50 off the Oura Ring 3 smart ring, representing a 20% discount on a great last-generation device. The Oura Ring 3 has many of the features modern users want in a smart ring, including health monitoring like sleep and heart rate trackers, and the ability to use alternative apps for a wide range of other uses. Meanwhile, it looks like a simple wedding band, and you can manage all of this data using the mobile app on your Deal
