15 August 2025

Feeling pressure to plunge into ice baths or stock up on supplements to “optimise” your life?

 

Biohacking is about turning personal health data into micro-upgrades that boost wellness and longevity. Early biohackers might have chased these gains with extreme diets, supplements and experimental techniques. But if you scroll your social feed today, tech leads the conversation.

 

At the forefront of this tech-driven movement is the Galaxy Watch8 series¹. Seamlessly integrating into your daily routine, it quietly tracks key lifestyle metrics so you can see how the choices you make throughout the day impact your health.

 

Before we dive in, let’s do a quick check-in: how many of these biohacks are already part of your routine?

Already acing your biohacks? The Galaxy Watch8 series refines each habit for faster, smarter gains.

 

Optimise Your Sleep with Biohacking

We spend about 30% of our lives asleep, yet irregular schedules and sub-optimal environments still undermine rest. The Galaxy Watch8 series optimises sleep by analysing your sleep patterns and environment, identifying issues, and giving actionable tips to help build consistent, restorative sleep habits².

 

  • How can I follow a regular sleep schedule?

Wear Galaxy Watch8 for three nights to unlock Bedtime Guidance. It analyses your sleep patterns and recommend the best times to wind down, based on your sleep pressure and circadian rhythm, helping you reset your sleep schedule and maximise alertness during the day.

 

  • How can I improve my sleep quality?

Each morning, Galaxy Watch8 gives you an in-depth sleep analysis based on your sleep stages, heart rate, skin temperature and oxygen level, highlighting what helped or hindered your rest. You can also access a Sleep Environment Report which leverages data from your other SmartThings devices to analyse temperature, humidity, CO2 and illuminance³. With this data at your fingertips, you can easily optimise your room conditions for a better night’s sleep.     

 

  • What can I do during the day to improve my sleep?

Once your sleep patterns are defined, Sleep Coaching assigns you a Sleep Animal and delivers personalised tips like adding a quick meditation session or skipping late-day caffeine. With Galaxy Watch8, small, daily habit upgrades are easy, and better nights are within reach.

 

Optimise Your Workouts with Biohacking

Some people train for marathons. Others just want to feel less stiff after sitting all day. So how do you reach your goals while staying motivated and avoiding injury? The Galaxy Watch8 series gives you all the answers, all while sitting snugly on your wrist thanks to its sleek design and dynamic lug system.

 

  • How do I set the ideal fitness goal for me?

Galaxy Watch8’s built-in Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) sensor measures your body fat percentage, body-water content and skeletal muscle mass, so you get a comprehensive snapshot of your body⁴. These insights help you create a personalised training plan and track your progress.

 

  • How can I start running more consistently?

Start with Running Coach, which analyses your pace and fitness level after just a 12-minute run to build a custom routine. It also keeps you motivated during your runs with real-time feedback, helping you to reach your goals. Running Coach provides tailored training programs at the ideal intensity.  

 

  • How can I maximise recovery after training?

Samsung Health gives you the tools for post-workout recovery. Check your heart rate after an intense workout and get recommendations on water intake based on sweat loss, so you can get the rest you need to come back stronger.

[Bonus Tip] Try Zone 2⁵ interval training, known to improve endurance and boost fat burning potential. Galaxy Watch8 sets personalised Heart Rate Zones based on your fitness level to help you stay within your personal HR Zone 2 for peak results⁶.

 

  • How can I easily track my water intake?

Proper hydration is essential for performing at your best, but it is often difficult to track. With Samsung Health, you can track your water intake with just a tap and set a daily hydration goal. Galaxy Watch8 will handle the rest by sending personalised reminders and monitoring trends, making it effortless to stay on top of your game.

 

The Galaxy Watch8 series turns biohacking from buzzword to habit — personal, actionable and effortless. Wear it, watch the insights roll in, and let better health become second nature.
