Galaxy Also check: Here’s Everything We Know About The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Months after announcing the Galaxy Watch 5 series, Samsung is finally ready to put its temperature sensor to use, and here’s how it would work. A temperature sensor is the latest feature manufacturers are adding to smartwatches nowadays. Two of the three Apple smartwatches released in 2022 have a temperature sensor. The Fitbit Sense 2 also has a temperature sensor, but its cheaper sibling, the Versa 4, skips on it. Samsung announced that the Galaxy Watch 5’s temperature sensor will finally be functional. The manufacturer is partnering with Natural Cycles, a company that is known for its FDA-cleared fertility app of the same name. By combining the temperature sensor of the Galaxy Watch 5 with Natural Cycles’ algorithm, Samsung says users will be able to access advanced cycle tracking through the Cycle Tracking feature on the watch. Analyzed data will provide users with more accurate details of their menstrual cycle. The Update Will Arrive In Q2 2023 The Cycle Tracking feature on the Galaxy Watch 5 has been approved by The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of the Republic of Korea. It has also been registered with the FDA and meets CE marking requirements. The temperature sensor uses infrared technology for more accurate readings, and recorded data is encrypted and stored locally on the device, so even Samsung won’t have access to this information. Owners of the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro will be able to access the feature through the Samsung Health app once the update begins to roll out in the second quarter of 2023. However, like the Galaxy Watch 5’s other health-tracking features like ECG and blood pressure monitoring, cycle tracking will only be available in select regions, including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the U.K., and the U.S. Samsung will likely activate the hardware and roll out the software feature once it receives regional approval. While this is the first time Natural Cycles will partner directly with a smartwatch maker, it is not the first wearable to offer the feature. The Oura Ring, which also has a temperature sensor, uses Natural Cycles’ algorithm to provide users with skin temperature-based cycle tracking. The Galaxy Watch 5’s temperature-based cycle tracking is also not unique, since other smartwatches, like the Apple Watch Series 8, offer a similar feature.
