You’re putting in the work every day to create the best version of yourself. Your Wear OS smartwatch can be used as your health and fitness tracker watch helping you develop a deeper understanding of your wellbeing with round-the-clock insights into your heart rate, sleep patterns, and more.

Be your best self.

Your Wear OS watch is your all-in-one health and fitness tracker, offering a wide selection of smart features that help keep you going. You can use your Wear OS watch to track your activities, count steps, and monitor your heart rate. By pairing your smartwatch with your Android phone, you can view the health and fitness data directly on your Android smartphone.

And you have access to even more health and fitness apps on the Google Play Store:

  • Track your meals and make your calories count with MyFitnessPal
  • Map out your next run, hike, or bike ride with Strava
  • Manage stress with Calm meditation and relaxing techniques
  • Get more restful sleep with SleepCycle

In addition to these, your Wear OS smartwatch also allows you to:

  • Receive important notifications from your phone on your watch while working out.
  • Send a quick text or control the lights in your home, using just your voice
  • Control your music playback to give you that extra boost for your last gym set.
  • Easily pay for healthy shakes and nutrition bars using Google Pay

With a Pixel Watch 2, you’ll enjoy the unique benefits of the first exercise watch to bring together Google and Fitbit.* The Fitbit experience on your Pixel Watch offers features like Pace Training, which gives you real-time feedback on your runs so you can achieve your personal best. And you can customise your experience to see the information that’s most important to you, including heart rate zones and Active Zone Minutes.

The Galaxy Watch 6 lets you monitor your wellness, your way with Samsung Health. Get a better night’s rest with Advanced Sleep Coaching and get to know your body better with BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). You can also use your Galaxy Watch to get a better picture of your cardiovascular health, thanks to Continuous Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification (IHRN). Combined with the app’s Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, this feature detects irregular heart rhythms in the background and warns you of potential atrial fibrillation (AFib) activity.

However you choose to improve your health and fitness, your activity tracker watch powered with Wear OS by Google is right there with you.

Uniquely yours, inside and out.

As you advance on your health and fitness journey, you’ll have more confidence to express yourself in different ways. Your Wear OS watch empowers you to experiment with new styles, offering unique bands, watch faces, and tiles. It all starts with your choice of a variety of watch designs from brands like Samsung GalaxyPixelFossilMontblanc, and TAG Heuer.

If you enjoy the power to change your style to match your mood, your Wear OS watch lets you flex your creative muscles. The Pixel Watch 2 is available with more than 25 different styles of band, letting you switch from a two-tone leather band for work to an active sport band for your workout. And you can pair your band of choice with any number of unique watch faces, which are available on Google Play for all varieties of Wear OS watches.

You can also personalise your Wear OS smartwatch with customisable tiles and complications– scannable stats for you to check throughout the day – so you can easily track your progress on the day’s fitness goals right on your watch face. And your interface allows you to easily navigate to messages, maps, music, and more.

Be more productive with apps on your wrist.

Your Wear OS watch can help you track your health and fitness, and it helps you be the best version of yourself with features that let you track the other things that matter in your life. You can use Wear OS to check your schedule with Google Calendar, set a date to go on a run with a friend using WhatsApp, and check the weather forecast to make sure the sun will be there to meet you.

Wear OS by Google helps you get the most out of your day. From health and fitness tracking features that motivate you to keep going to convenient tools that help you stay in touch and make plans, your Wear OS watch puts the power to do more in your hands. Or, more appropriately, on your wrist.

The Samsung ECG Monitor Application with Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification is an over-the-counter (OTC) software-only, mobile medical application for informational use only in adults 22 years and older. The app analyses pulse rate data to identify episodes of irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and provides a notification suggesting the user record an ECG to analyse the heart rhythm. The Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification Feature is not intended to provide a notification on every episode of irregular rhythm suggestive of AFib and the absence of a notification is not intended to indicate no disease process is present; rather the feature is intended to opportunistically acquire pulse rate data when the user is still and analyse the data when determined sufficient toward surfacing a notification.

The ECG Monitor App is not intended to replace traditional methods of diagnosis or treatment. The ECG app is not intended for users with known arrhythmias other than AFib or users under 22 years old. Users should not interpret or take clinical action based on the device output without consultation of a qualified healthcare professional.

8 The Samsung BIA is a body analyser that uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to track body composition based on weight, body fat, body mass index (BMI), skeletal muscle, body water, and basal metabolic rate (BMR) measurements. It is not intended to specifically diagnose or treat a medical condition.
