The very first software application upgrade for the Galaxy Watch 3 is now out, with Samsung beginning its rollout just a day after releasing its most current and biggest lineup of wearables. This over-the-air release was really even discussed at this weeks Galaxy Unpacked 2020 where Samsung formally announced the Galaxy Watch 3.
More specifically, it includes support for blood oxygen monitoring, VO2max, sleep scores, and advanced running analytics, all of which were touted as some of the crucial Galaxy Watch 3 functions at this weeks launch event. The OTA upgrade is 80MB in size and can be set up from the Galaxy Wearable app, assuming its already readily available for download in your territory.
Selective function availability
As Samsung currently kept in mind on Wednesday, blood oxygen analytics are indicated to offer helpful insights into ones health and arent accurate sufficient to be categorized as medical data. What legally constitutes “medical data” differs by nation, which is most likely why this functionality isnt offered in each and every single market in which the Galaxy Watch 3 series was released. In an alphabetical order: Algeria, Angola, Canada, France, Iran, Japan, Libya, South Africa, and Thailand will not be getting access to this feature.
The very first Galaxy Watch 3 update will most likely take at least numerous days to be totally released. Samsung is still ironing out ECG assistance for the Galaxy Watch 3.
