The Samsung Galaxy Watch3 has just got even better.
David PhelanThe Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is a potent smartwatch that has just got even better. The latest software update has added significant functionality to the wearable, including compatibility with Samsung’s growing SmartThings smart home system. Here’s what’s in the update and how to get it.
SmartThings support
So, why would you want SmartThings compatibility? Well, it includes SmartThings Find, so if you put your watch somewhere and can’t find it, you can talk to a compatible device, such as an Amazon Echo speaker and it can help you find it. My top tip is check under your pillow first.
Handwashing
This is a feature already found on the Apple Watch. Where some smartwatches have offered 20-second timers to encourage us all to wash our hands properly, the Apple version can spot what you’reddoing from your hand movements, and the microphone spotting the sound of soap being squished between your hands. The new Hand Wash app, ready to be downloaded, does a similar thing, automatically detecting and timing when you wash your hands.

Improved auto workout recognition
Certain workouts are recognized automatically by the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. So, it’s annoying if it doesn’t spot what you’re doing soon enough. This update promises that when your workout involves a rowing machine, running or elliptical, that it will spot it faster.

Spookily, this new feature has arrived at almost the same time as Apple introduced its Time To Walk feature on Apple Fitness+. Here, the update provides the opportunity to challenge your friends to a group waling challenge. Since many of us are sheltering in place and only permitted out of our homes once a day, a walk sounds a good idea.
How to get it
The update is rolling out now, so check the Samsung Galaxy companion app on your phone to snag the update and it’ll download quickly (it’s only 74MB) if it’s there.
