Even with the smaller size, the newer smartwatch has a larger display – inch for the larger variant. In order to get the slimmer look the newer smartwatch, the battery size had to be reduced, unfortunately.
There are a couple of health features on the Galaxy Watch 3 compared to the Galaxy Watch. One of the two include fall detection. This feature detects when the user falls and gives them a certain amount of time to recover and get back up. If the user isn’t able to do so, an SOS message with the user’s location is sent to their emergency contacts. As well as this, the user is able to check oxygen saturation and read their blood pressure – as of now the feature is only available in South Korea.
