Here's how to continuously track your heart rate on a Galaxy Watch device

While there are many reasons to invest in an Android smartwatch, most people are interested in the various health and fitness tracking features offered. If you're the proud owner of the Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Watch Active, you'll be glad to know that you can easily enable continuous heart rate tracking on your device. The same goes for the newer Galaxy Watch Active 2.

Whether you're a beginner who wants to start monitoring your heart rate patterns throughout the day or you're an advanced athlete who uses this data to track and improve your performance, continuous heart rate tracking can be quite useful. All you have to do is navigate through a few menus within the Samsung Helth app on your watch and make the necessary changes!

How to enable continuous heart rate tracking

  1. Start by pressing the power key on your smartwatch.
  2. Launch the Samsung Health app from the main menu.
  3. Swipe until you reach the heart rate icon and select it.

  4. Navigate to the bottom of the screen.

  5. Select HR and stress measurement or Auto HR settings.
  6. Depending on your watch, there are a few automatic measurement options to pick from.
  7. To enable continuous heart rate tracking, select measure continuously (or always).

Once you've enabled this setting, your Galaxy Watch or Watch Active will now monitor your heart rate continuously. You won't have to take manual measurements throughout the day. Keep in mind that this setting will drain your battery faster.

Remember that you can always return to the same menu at any time and change the setting to manual measurement only (or never). There's also an option to take frequent measurements throughout the day, which will typically monitor your heart rate every 10 minutes while you're still.

Monitor your heart rate with a Galaxy Watch or Watch Active

Nowadays, most fitness smartwatches offer you the ability to monitor your heart rate. When it comes to both the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active, you can choose the frequency in which your device measures your heart rate. In fact, these watches are also capable of notifying you of abnormalities with heart rate alerts.

As technology becomes more advanced, we're receiving more and more information about our health and overall well-being. We're on the edge of our seats waiting to see the new Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch Active 4 has in store for health enthusiasts.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
