Glass and case—Sapphire crystal glass; 43.7 × 46 × 8.6 mm (excluding health sensors)

Samsung
Processor and memory—Exynos W1000 (5-core, 3 nm); 2 GB RAM, 32 GB storage

32 GB of storage is enough to keep music and apps on the watch for phone-free runs.

Samsung
Battery and charging—435 mAh (typical); WPC-based fast wireless charging

The watch charges only wirelessly; it must align with Samsung’s charging puck, and some wireless chargers may not sit flat because of the band.

Samsung
Sensors—Samsung BioActive Sensor (optical heart rate, electrical heart signal, bioelectrical impedance); temperature, accelerometer, barometer, gyro, geomagnetic, light

The electrical heart signal enables ECG and bioelectrical impedance enables body composition readings. ECG and blood pressure need a Samsung phone and country approval.

Samsung
Health features—Antioxidant Index (carotenoid measurement), Bedtime Guidance, Vascular Load, Running Coach

Antioxidant Index is measured by holding a fingertip on the sensor for about five seconds; Vascular Load needs the watch to be worn to sleep on at least 3 of the last 14 days. These are wellness indicators, not medical diagnoses.

Samsung
Location—L1 + L5 dual-frequency GPS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo)

The L5 band helps reduce route drift caused by reflections among tall buildings and trees.

Samsung
Connectivity—Bluetooth 5.3, Wi-Fi 2.4 + 5 GHz, NFC; this model has no LTE (Bluetooth)

On the Bluetooth model calls and notifications work while connected to the phone; NFC contactless payments depend on country and bank.

Samsung
Durability—5ATM, IP68, MIL-STD-810H

5ATM means water resistance suitable for swimming, not diving or high-speed water sports. MIL-STD-810H refers to selected environmental tests from the military standard and is no guarantee against impacts.
