Aside from the new watch faces that were borrowed from the Galaxy Watch 4 series, the latest firmware update for the Galaxy Watch and Watch Active adds support for the Group Challenge widget, and should now provide more accurate data on calorie consumption based on the user's heart rate.
In addition, the update improves sensor performance to reduce the time needed for recognizing automatic exercises (running, rowing machine, elliptical). There's also a walking/running live status icon, and the synchronization period for the Calendar app was increased from 3 months to a full year.
Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active owners should now be able to download the update through the Samsung Wearable app on their phones. The new update (firmware version Rx00XXU1GUJ3) should be live in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Europe, India, and the USA.
