Apps and features

Body composition

Measure your body composition, such as your skeletal muscle mass or fat mass.
• This feature is only for your general wellness and fitness. Therefore, do not use it for
medical purposes, such as diagnosing the symptoms, treatment, or prevention of
disease.
• Do not measure your body composition if you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker,
defibrillator, or if any other electronic device is inside of your body.
• A low electric current goes through your body when measuring your body
composition. Although it is harmless to humans, do not measure your body
composition if you are pregnant.
• For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above
the wrist. Refer to
information.
• If the measured body composition results are inaccurate, check your user profile in
the Samsung Health app on the smartphone and modify it.
• Unlike professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which
has to be worn your wrist, measures the upper body's composition and estimates
your entire body's composition to provide the results. Therefore the measured body
composition results may be inaccurate in the following cases: when your upper and
lower body's composition is too unbalanced, when you are extremely obese, or when
you have a very large amount of muscles.
• The Watch uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method when measuring
body composition, which has more than 98% correlation compared to the
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method, which is regarded as the golden
standard.
