Korea Times photo by Nam Hyun-woo </p></div><p>LONDON — Many people resolve to exercise more, but consistency often wanes due to excuses such as weather, workload, or timing. This reporter describes a personal pattern of starting runs briefly and then stopping, leading to minimal progress over time.</p><p>The writer notes a change after acquiring a smartwatch, which accompanied a shift to regular running and weight loss. Since the start of the year, daily runs of at least 5 kilometers have become routine, aided by the device.</p><p>At Galaxy Unpacked 2026, the reporter joined a roughly 3-kilometer run at St. James Park while evaluating the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and Galaxy Z Fold 8.</p><p>The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 features a 47-millimeter case and weighs slightly more than its predecessor, while the band is lighter by about 20 percent for improved comfort. The watch remained unobtrusive during the run.</p><p>The running metrics are displayed on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 after the workout, with expectations that the overall experience would differ from the wearer’s usual Apple Watch data, which presents metrics without immediate guidance on interpretation.</p><p>Samsung Health, paired with the Galaxy Watch, emphasizes interpretive ratings such as “Good” or “Great” for metrics like asymmetry, regularity, flight time, and ground contact time, before presenting raw data.</p><p>Through hands-on testing, the writer learned that reducing ground contact time, increasing cadence, and limiting vertical movement can boost running efficiency. Samsung Health and the Galaxy Watch translate these concepts into beginner-friendly guidance.</p><p>The newer Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 introduces Energy Score, estimating whether carbohydrates or fat powered a workout, and a Nutrition Reminder suggesting when to rehydrate based on estimated sweat loss. The Nutrition Reminder did not activate during the short run but could be useful for longer activities.</p><p>During the group run, results varied, with some participants receiving mostly low ratings and others exceeding high heart-rate thresholds that triggered cautionary alerts.</p><p>Samsung Electronics’ health team notes that users value exploring the data because a broad set of metrics enables detailed analysis and visible improvement over time, which can motivate continued use.</p><p>Overall, the watch’s value for beginners lies not only in the depth of metrics but in providing tangible targets and feedback to encourage ongoing participation in exercise.</p><p>After encountering a stop-triggering alert, the reporter plans to continue using the device, suggesting that the smartwatch may have achieved its motivational goal.</p>
