Do I need the Samsung wearable app?
To access all its fun and useful features, you’ll want to connect your smart watch to your phone using the Galaxy Wearable app. If your phone isn’t available, you can also set up your watch without a phone and pair it with the Galaxy Wearable app later. MedStar Health cardiologists and primary care providers see data from these devices every day. Their perspective is clear: smartwatches are a valuable tool for promoting activity and heart-health awareness. But they should be used in addition to, not a replacement for, a medical evaluation.
