AI is the theme for Samsung’s flagship phones of 2024, as the S24 series along with the latest Fold and Flip foldables all pack various AI innovations. The focus on AI hardware and software isn’t just for phones though as the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Buds3 are also smart devices that are the perfect companions for your Samsung flagship.
To be exact, these latest-generation Samsung wearables pack AI features that sync up well with the latest S24, Flip, and Fold phones. On top of these AI innovations, both the Watch7 and Buds 3 promise to make them invaluable daily partners for fitness (in the case of the Watch7) and entertainment (for the Buds3).
So, if you’ve recently upgraded to a new Samsung flagship, here’s why the new Samsung AI-powered wearables are the perfect companions. To start off, though, let’s first take a look at the Watch7.
Galaxy Watch7: Your AI-Powered Health and Fitness Companion
For years now, Samsung has delivered a premium all-around smartwatch with its Galaxy Watch lineup. These watches not only feature a wealth of health and fitness features, but they are also made with premium materials.
This is also the case with the Galaxy Watch7 as this wearable definitely has a premium look and feel. For this watch, Samsung went with a unique floating glass design along with colorful stitching points for its bands, making for an eye-catching style. Speaking of style, the watch also comes in three colorful options: Green, Silver, and Cream.
Aside from looking great, the Galaxy Watch7 is also designed with usability in mind. That’s because it packs an upgraded BioActive Sensor with 13 LEDs. Thanks to this, the watch should be able to track heart rate, sleep patterns, and more with even better precision than before. As a bonus, the watch is powered by a 3nm processor which should make it more responsive, all while enabling it to easily last for a day of even heavy use.
It’s important that it can last for over a day with all the sensors running as you’d want to take advantage of all the tracking features that the watch has. These include advanced fitness tracking which lets you craft the perfect workout. Here, you can add warm-ups, cooldowns, and more to tailor-fit your workout to your fitness goals. If you need extra motivation, the watch also comes with badges that you can earn by completing workouts.
Working out is great and all, but the secret to proper fitness is healthy sleep. In this regard, the Galaxy Watch7 does not disappoint as it has an advanced sleep tracker that can analyze your sleeping patterns. After a while, the watch will share useful tips to get you better sleep. Plus, if you’re someone who struggles with sleep, it has an FDA-approved sleep apnea risk detection function – a first for a smartwatch.
Tracking isn’t just for sleep as the Galaxy Watch7 also packs various nifty health trackers, including heart rate, body composition, period cycle, and metabolic health. What’s also interesting is that it has a fall detection feature that can let you contact emergency services if you need help. As such, if you’re looking to enhance your overall health, this watch is an all-in-one device to help you do so.
This all-in-one aspect of the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 is exemplified by the Energy Score. Powered by Galaxy AI, the Watch7 gives you a daily Energy Score based on your sleep, heart rate, and daily activities. If your score is a bit low, the watch will share helpful tips to get you in tip-top shape. For instance, if you’re lacking in sleep and had a tiring day, it can suggest that you relax instead of getting an intense workout in.
Another Galaxy AI-powered fitness feature is the Personalized Functional Threshold Power (FTP). Made for cyclists, this feature will give you suggestions on the maximum pedal power to aim for based on the first 10 minutes of your ride.
Its AI enhancements aren’t just for fitness though as the Galaxy Watch7 has a useful AI text assistant. When you get messages on your phone, the Watch7 can display them, and with the AI text assistant, you’ll get suggested responses that can make answering messages faster and easier. This is a particularly nice feature if you’re busy and need to reply ASAP.
This feature is available if you’re connected to a Galaxy Z Flip6 or Galaxy Z Fold6. You’ll also get the benefit of detailed health and wellness insights when connected to a Samsung flagship thanks to the Samsung Health App. With this, you’ll get in-depth information on your health and fitness based on data from your Watch7.
Based on its wealth of features, the Watch7 is a great partner to have for physical wellness. Of course, if you want to help your mind relax or focus, music is a good bet. For this, you’ll want to check out the Galaxy Buds3.
Galaxy Buds3: Smart Earbuds for your Music and Travel Needs
For the latest generation of the Galaxy Buds, Samsung went with an evolution instead of a simple update. The Galaxy Buds3 now features an angled and open-type design, complete with stems for easy swipe and pinch controls for controlling music and apps.
This is no longer an in-ear type of earbud, meaning this should be more comfortable for users who don’t like the typical IEM design. Still, Samsung designed this to make it fit snugly for most wearers.
Even with its open design, the earbuds should still sound great thanks to the new 11mm speaker that should still provide clear audio and good bass extension. Plus, the earbuds use Samsung Seamless Codec which compresses and encodes up to 24bit / 96kHz audio, meaning more detail is retained.
Another interesting thing about the earbuds is that it still packs active noise cancellation. What’s more, the earbuds’ Galaxy AI provides Adaptive EQ and Adaptive ANC which adjusts the noise cancellation and audio output depending on the user’s individual ear shape and wearing habits.
Speaking of AI, perhaps the most unique feature of the Buds3 is its AI Translation function. When paired with a supported Samsung Galaxy phone, the earbuds can offer real-time interpretation of supported languages. As such, this can be an invaluable tool when traveling to other countries.
That’s not all though as the earbuds also pack other nifty features, including TV 360 Audio for an immersive sound with select Samsung smartphones and TVs. There’s also the Auracast feature which lets you share your audio stream with other devices. Plus, the earbuds have support for voice commands if you don’t want to fiddle with stem controls.
