Samsung, on May 4, announced the latest OS update for its eligible wearables, i.e., Galaxy Watch 5 series and Galaxy Watch 4 series via its newsroom blog post.

According to the company's blog post, once rolled out, Samsung One UI 5 watch update will bring a new Sleep Insights UI that will help users to keep track of their sleep score along with sleep phases, snoring hours, and blood oxygen levels during sleep hours.

Additionally, the update will also improve the smart health monitors by offering the personalised heart rate zone that will provide real-time running analysis and a customised interval training program.
