Samsung has announced that it is bringing an Apple Watch-style women's health tracker to its Galaxy Watch 5 series soon.

Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro users across 32 countries including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland and more will be able to access this feature.
According to a newsroom post by Samsung, the Cycle Tracking feature on Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will give users more detailed insight into their menstrual cycle. It will utilise users' body temperature and other key fertility indicators to determine the unique fertility status of the user. The temperature sensor on the watch will use infrared technology to provide more accurate readings. Notably, all the data will be encrypted and stored on the user's device.
The new Galaxy Watch 5's temperature-based cycle tracking feature will be available through the Samsung Health app. It is scheduled to be rolled out by the second quarter of 2023.

There is no official word on the feature's availability in India.
