According to Samsung, its Galaxy Watch Active smartwatch is more than just a fitness tracking wearable. Samsung Galaxy Active Watch can be used for tracking exercises, sleep, stress, and health. Samsung claims that these features make it “a personal lifestyle coach for those seeking a healthier body and mind.”

It is the first wearable by the company that can monitor blood pressure, and users will have to download the MY BP Lab app in order to do so. Samsung has developed this app by collaborating with the University of California, San Francisco. However, we should mention that this feature is only limited to a few markets including US, Canada, Singapore, Australia, and Germany.

The watch has support for Bixby and can be connected to Android as well as iOS devices. Samsung Galaxy Watch Active comes with a 1.1-inch 360×360 pixel AMOLED display that is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 and houses a 230mAh battery. The wearable is powered by dual-core Exynos 9110 processor clubbed with 768MB of RAM and 4GB internal storage and runs Tizen-based Wearable OS 4.0. It has IP68 certified and has 5ATM water resistance.

Coming to Samsung Galaxy Fit and Galaxy Fit e, the newly-launched fitness bands come with intuitive fitness tracking and, according to the company, can automatically start tracking when the user runs, walks, rides a bike or begins working out. While Samsung Galaxy Fit sports a 0.95-inch 120×240 pixel AMOLED display, Galaxy Fit e comes with a 0.74-inch 64×128 pixel PMOLED screen. Both the devices run Realtime OS and come with a heart-rate monitor. Much like Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, they have  5ATM water resistance.
