History

Historical Context

Apple introduced its first smartwatch, the Apple Watch, in April 2015, embedding a heart-rate sensor and launching the HealthKit platform that Jony Ive said would drive health-focused features. Over successive watchOS releases the device added ECG, blood-oxygen and temperature tracking, establishing a consumer-wearable health market. Building on that legacy, Samsung released a 2026 Galaxy Watch update that converts five overnight bio-signals into a Heart Health Score.
