How to Measure Your Heart Rate with a Samsung Galaxy Watch

Samsung Galaxy smartwatches are great productivity companions, but they’re also good for fitness tracking. One useful feature is heart rate monitoring. We’ll show you how to measure your heart rate manually or automatically with a Samsung Galaxy Watch.

Heart rate sensors have been included in Samsung smartwatches since the Gear 2, which was released in 2014. Any modern Samsung Gear or Galaxy smartwatch will have the ability to measure your heart rate. It’s important to note, however, that smartwatches are not medical instruments and should not be used for a diagnosis. There are two methods in which you can measure your heart rate with a Samsung Galaxy Watch. You can manually check at any time or have the watch automatically measure throughout the day. During workouts, the watch will measure your heart rate more frequently as well.

Manually Check Your Heart Rate

To manually check your current heart rate using your Galaxy Watch, we’ll start by pressing the physical Power Button on the watch to open the Apps panel. Select “Samsung Health” from the list.

Automatic Heart Rate Tracking

Automatic heart rate tracking on your Samsung Galaxy Watch is very useful because you never have to think about it.To get started, press the physical Power Button on the watch to open the Apps list and select “Samsung Health.”

There are three options on this screen:

  • Measure continuously: Measures your heart rate continuously.
  • Every 10 mins while still: Measures your heart rate every 10 minutes when you’re not working out.
  • Manual measurement only: Will never measure your heart rate automatically.

Choose one of the options to proceed. Keep in mind that continuous heart rate tracking will have a bigger impact on battery life than the every 10 minutes option.

That’s it! You can check your heart rate history by visiting the Samsung Health app. The app will show your heart rate measurements on a graph for the week.

How to Automatically Change Google Chrome’s New Tab Background

Given how often we open new tabs in Google Chrome, it’s easy to get bored of any single background image. Luckily, Chrome allows you to automatically switch the new tab page’s wallpaper every day. Here’s how to set it up. First, launch the Google Chrome browser on your Windows 10, Mac, Chrome OS, or Linux computer. Then, open a new tab and click the “Customize” button in the bottom-right corner.

Click "Customize" to customize Google Chrome's new tab page.

In the pop-up that appears, make sure that you’re in the “Background” section.

Click "Background" in the sidebar of the pop-up window.

On the “Background” page, you’ll find a number of preset collections of backdrops, such as “Textures,” “Landscapes,” “Art,” and “Earth.” Google Chrome can automatically apply a new wallpaper from any one of these collections every day on your new tab page. So, let’s say that you want Google Chrome to display a new wallpaper from the “Earth” collection on your new tab page. To do this, first, click the collection’s thumbnail in the grid.

On the next page, Google Chrome will list all of the collection’s wallpapers. Turn on the “Refresh Daily” switch in the top-right corner of the pop-up window.

Turn on "Refresh Daily" to automatically change Google Chrome new tab wallpaper.

Click the “Done” option to save your preferences.

Click "Done."

After that, the new tab page on your Google Chrome browser will show a fresh backdrop from the “Earth” collection (or whichever collection you chose) every day. If you really enjoy one of the background images, you can see the name of the current background’s creator and its source in the bottom-left corner of the new tab page.

Check details of Google Chrome's new tab background by clicking the source link in the lower-left corner of the new tab page.

Similarly, there are plenty of other ways that you can customize Google Chrome to your liking. You can edit more elements of the new tab page itself or even create your own browser theme in a matter of minutes.
