Fans of wearable devices in more countries might start considering using the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 or Watch Active 2 as their vital health monitoring features will be available soon. The tech company acquired the necessary permissions for its Health Monitor app to function in a total of 31 countries.
Samsung’s advanced health monitoring services cleared for use in more countries
The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Watch Active 2 are equipped with sensors that allow them to monitor a user’s blood pressure and function with electrocardiogram (ECG) tracking. However, reading this data would require the Samsung Health Monitor app.

The app is also launching in Chile, Indonesia, and the UAE making it available in 31 countries after only being accessible in South Korea.
Once the Samsung Health Monitor app goes live in the said countries, Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Watch Active 2 have to be updated to their latest versions. Doing so will automatically install the app on the wearable devices. Updates can be initiated through the Galaxy Wearable app via a paired Galaxy smartphone.
