A recent study has shown that the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 smartwatch can be compared to full-fledged medical instruments.

Smart watches Samsung Galaxy Watch4 proved to be no worse than medical devices in terms of accuracy of the SpO2 sensor.  But the study was conducted by Samsung itself

In many reviews of smartwatches, you can find theses that the accuracy of sensors in such devices is much lower than that of professional solutions, and it cannot be compared with medical devices at all. But at least in the case of the Galaxy Watch4 and its ability to determine the level of blood oxygen saturation, it seems to be possible. And with very specific benefits.

The study was conducted by Samsung Medical Center and Samsung Electronics and published in the medical journal Sleep Health. The study involved 97 people with sleep disorders. Measurements showed that Samsung smartwatches and special medical devices displayed the same levels of oxygenation during sleep.

But the study itself was conducted not only for this. As already mentioned, people with sleep disorders participated in it. Namely, with obstructive sleep apnea, from which, according to the source, up to 50% of men and 25% of middle-aged women suffer. The problem with obstructive sleep apnea is that a person may not know that he has such an ailment. During episodes of incomplete respiratory arrest, the rate of oxygen saturation of the blood just decreases, that is, it is these sensors that allow you to fix apnea. And because Samsung watches have proven to be as accurate as medical devices, they are a simple, convenient, and affordable alternative to inpatient medical examinations in hospitals.

The centerpiece of the HM11 Architect case is a flying tourbillon, enclosed under a double-domed sapphire roof, reminiscent of the lanterns of ancient temples. This central tourbillon is surrounded by four symmetrical elements, each with a specific function: time display, power reserve, thermometer and crown for setting the time. This is an allusion to the four rooms in the house. These functions are accessed through a rotating design, highlighting the interactive nature of the watch and its energy efficiency.

The watch consists of 364 components, of which 92 are in the case. What’s interesting is that the mechanism underlying the watch cannot be assembled separately and then placed in a case—it simply won’t fit there. Therefore, the mechanism is assembled inside a partially open case. There are two versions of the watch: sapphire and titanium. One with blue PVD coating, the other with red gold PVD coating. There will be 25 pieces each, and it will take 18 months to make all 50 pieces. The watch costs $230,000.

The rest includes a power reserve of 96 hours, water protection (2 ATM), a titanium case, a diameter of 42 mm, a balance frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour, and 29 jewels in the movement.
