Samsung is bringing One UI to its smartwatches with the Galaxy Watch Active and its Tizen 4.0 UI for wearables. This will bring some UI design unity among the company’s smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The new UI uses a completely black background and colorful UI elements to make apps look really cool. The activity tracking focussed smartwatch will feature continuous heart rate tracking, multiple watchfaces focussed at activity metrics, automatic activity recognition for various workout types, and heart rate abnormality notifications.
