The Galaxy Watch 5 could be the best Samsung smartwatch for fitness fanatics based on recent comments from the head of its Health R&D team.
Ahead of its Galaxy Unpacked event taking place on August 10, Samsung’s executive vice president has teased Galaxy Watches for people with a “passion for the outdoors” and who want to “work towards the best version of themselves.”
While it’s not clear if these statements are about the rumored Galaxy Watch 5 specifically, they suggest that Samsung is developing a smartwatch that’s more of a rival to one of the best Garmin watches than the Apple Watch 7.
Following rumors that Apple is itself developing an Apple Watch 8 Rugged that is set to launch alongside the upcoming Apple Watch 8, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Samsung also diversify its wearables portfolio to appeal to a broader range of customers.
As the blog post (opens in new tab) by executive vice president TaeJong Jay Yang (who is also Samsung’s head of the Health R&D team) explains, everyone has a different idea of what it means to be healthy.
