What we’re expecting
Fitness Index, also confirmed June 4, 2026, analyzes heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps relative to your peer group, producing a health score with tailored content and personalized goals based on individual strengths and weaknesses.
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 will score your overall fitness and rank it against other users, like a class rank for your health. It blends heart rate, VO2 max, and daily steps to find where you're strong and where you're slipping, then feeds you goals aimed at the weak spots. Getting ranked against strangers will land as motivation for some and pressure for others.
