Food and water intake

Samsung Health helps you develop healthy eating habits by allowing you to record your meals, snacks and even caffeine intake throughout the day. Helping you to keep track of your vitamin and nutrient content for an informed balanced diet. You can even check and log macronutrients (protein, carbs, and fats) in your meal or snack for even more accuracy.

Body composition

With a Galaxy smartwatch, like the Galaxy Watch6 and Watch6 Classic, you’ll be able to measure your body composition. Simply enter some basic health data about yourself and let your smartwatch do the rest.
