Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will receive a huge firmware update - innovations focused on athletes

Samsung is rolling out a huge update this week for the 2021 Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic smartwatches.

What is known

The update will bring specific interval training programs for cyclists and runners, as well as daily fitness tips. They will be visible in the proprietary Samsung Health application.

Samsung will add a new sweat loss indicator. It measures the amount of sweat a user loses during a workout and how much water they need to consume to recover. Another innovation is the fitness marker VO2 max, which is an indicator of a person's aerobic fitness. It affects the results in a long run or a bike ride.

Another new addition will be the measurement of heart rate during recovery. The function collects data within two minutes after the end of the workout.

In addition, Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will be able to offer a new sleep training program that provides personalized tips for quality rest. The program is developed individually for each user based on his daily routine.

Samsung also promises more watch faces and announces the imminent start of sales of new straps for smart watches. Owners of the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will be able to install the update from February 10, 2022.
