Samsung’s Galaxy watch found to be posting accurate bodily measurements!

The Galaxy Watches also excelled in measuring body fat percentage, showing a 95% correlation with the standard diagnostic test of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

A recent study by the University of Michigan’s Michigan Performance Research Laboratory (MiPR) found that Samsung’s Galaxy Watch health measurements are not just accurate, but impressively so. The study, done in partnership with Samsung, aimed to improve the accuracy of measurements provided by the Galaxy Watches. The study found a high correlation between the data reported by the Galaxy Watches and sports science reference devices when measuring heart rate, body fat percentage, sweat loss, and VO2 max. Notably, the watches showed a 90% correlation with electrocardiogram equipment when measuring heart rate during running.

Similarly, the watches achieved a 95% correlation when measuring sweat loss during runs ranging from 2.5km to 20km. VO2 max measurements, which assess oxygen absorption during workouts, showed an acceptable correlation of 82% compared to clinical-grade equipment. The study’s findings underscore the unwavering commitment to enhancing heart rate and health monitoring. With plans for future collaborations, the partnership between Samsung and the University of Michigan aims to make innovations in wearable technology accessible and accurate across all population segments, ensuring that your health and fitness needs are always a top priority.
