Samsung aims to boost its smartwatch market share by focusing on preventative health features in a new software update for its Galaxy Watch 5 and newer models. This update includes antioxidant level estimations, sleep and running coaching features, and future plans for an AI-powered health chatbot and smart glasses integration for meal logging. The company is competing with Apple's growing dominance in the wearable tech market, hoping to leverage its existing home appliance presence and focus on proactive health advice to gain an edge. Challenges include a smaller market share than Apple and the incompatibility of its smartwatches with iPhones.
