this is how to use the Samsung Galaxy watch 5 Pro for biometric measurements
and their functions the accuracy and comparisons to other devices [Music]
now since the polar watch is tracking my heart rate continuously I want that to be the same
on the Samsung so I'm going to go to the settings I'm going to go to Samsung health and in the heart
rate it says measure continuously so that's what I want okay now I need to get a face that shows my
heart rate so go to my wearables watch settings oops watch faces and I really like this one
let's customize it complication one sure monogram whatever complication too let's
do the EKG in complication four actually I'd rather that one be the heart rate
and then I'll make complication three my blood oxygen all right now we can
see I've got my EKG over here I've got my blood oxygen and I've got my heart rate
so I've got all the settings I need and they're both constantly reading my heart rate I did learn
while wearing two watches at once that it is important to select in the watch settings for
each of these devices which wrist you're going to be wearing the watch that's going to be important
for accuracy of your measurements so what I'm going to do is put on my oxygen sensor
which is closer to an actual medical device versus just a wearable and it says 77.
this says 76. that says 76 77 78 so they're all within about one heartbeat 78 76 78 so they feel
pretty good that way as far as accuracy of heart rate when it's reading and that's what you have
to do is just watch your heart rate and if it'll eventually fluctuate so let's say I want to go to
settings for sleep if I go to Samsung health I do have heart rate measured continuously
I want blood oxygen during sleep because that's going to give me the full sleep analysis snore
detection I don't know if I need that or not now oxygen sensor is a little interesting
the polar does not have an oxygen sensor
the oxygen sensor obviously does 96. so let's see what the Samsung does for it
let's hit the oxygen sensor I'm going to hit measure move your watch higher on your wrist
it's your elbow on a table hold your wrist near your heart
start measuring blood okay so I'm going to do all those things
then I'm going to hit OK
foreign
which is where
96 versus 97
96. so the blood oxygen sensor is actually pretty decent and it still says 78 versus 78 so that's
pretty impressive this morning I got a 95 from the watch 5 and it's a 95 on the pulse ox this is
with the elbow resting on the table right before that even with the elbow just kind of resting like
you know on my leg it was only a 91 so that whole resting your elbow on a solid surface
with your wrist up by your heart is critical and if you do that it seems fairly accurate
the next thing I want to try is this EKG since I just checked it with the
other device the cardio mobile so basically I hold it over here it says inconclusive
and you might have noticed that the heart rate bounced around a little bit
the EKG cardiomobile showed it being in bradycardia which just means it's a low
heart rate but earlier this morning when I checked it it also said unclassified
I think part of this it's kind of hard to really say as far as accuracy with this feature because
my heart is such a mess right now anyway since the heart surgery is still bouncing around between
normal and afib and junctional and bradycardia so I wanted to at least try this feature just
to see what it does and show you how to do it I just used the cardio mobile to check my EKG
and it said possible A-fib this time
immediately after that I did the EKG on the watch and it showed inconclusive so I a little surprised
it didn't say possible afib it has said that before with the Samsung watch this time it did
not so there's a little bit of disparity between this device and the cardio mobile
but to be fair my rhythm's still a mess so it's kind of hard telling what's right and what's not
the first thing you want to do is weigh yourself and for me personally I do it first thing when I
wake up so that I've fasted overnight and I'm going to be very similar each morning in terms
of how much food is in my system how hydrated I am Etc swipe up hit the Samsung Health app
and scroll down until you see body composition there we go
now scroll all the way down to the bottom and you hit the measure enter the weight that you
just measured now place the middle and ring fingers on the two buttons and what it says
to do is make sure that your hands don't touch and to Hold Your Arms out so that it minimizes
contact to your armpits based on that I also spread my legs apart a little bit just to keep
the twig and giggleberries from touching the legs basically any unintended touching of yourself to
yourself is going to mess up the measurement I've tried spot checking this a couple times with an
old school set of calipers which is the only other way I have to really measure my body fat and they
seem to be within a couple percent the calipers are a bit subjective it depends on how hard you
pinch and everything but overall the numbers seem to make sense especially when you look at my build
compared to online pictures of this is what this percentage of body fat looks like subscribe to
