Throughout the night, get a sense of your quality of sleep with the Galaxy Watch 6 series’ cutting-edge features like Sleep Score Factors² which provides an overview of your total sleep time, sleep cycle, awake time, as well as physical and mental recovery, to help users understand their quality of sleep each night.
Example of Sleep Animal Symbols
Get detailed feedback on your sleep health every morning through individualised Sleep Messages³ co-developed with the National Sleep Foundation, as well as a designated Sleep Animal Symbol which shows your sleep type⁴.
Now you know how good or poor your sleep is – what can you do next? Take a meaningful step towards better sleep with Enhanced Sleep Coaching⁵ that delivers actionable insights with tailored instructions, tips, and reminders accessible on both your wrist and paired smartphone.
When it’s time for bed, reap the benefits of a conducive sleep environment by automatically changing the settings of connected home electronics⁶. Turn on Sleep Mode across your watch and phone⁷ to mute notifications and activate an invisible LED infrared sensor on the Galaxy Watch to minimise even the smallest of distractions.
2. Stay active, stay healthy

Your watch automatically recognises and records select workouts such as running, walking and now, even cycling with Automatic Workout Detection– so you don't lose precious data even when you forget to hit start⁸.

3. Take every workout at your own pace
Exercise can be daunting, especially after a long day. Embark on your fitness journey with maximal motivation to conquer your goals, personalized to your capabilities and needs.

Once set, get notifications whenever you enter your goal HR Zone and maintain that perfect intensity in the Zone as you move, run, and work out to your own beat.
