The Galaxy Watch 5 is one of the most complete smartwatches available for Android users thanks to small yet major improvements made by Samsung to its already successful formula. Even while the smartwatch has a more robust design, a pleasant grip, higher battery life, quicker charging, consistent fitness monitoring, and an affordable price, there are still a few areas that may be improved for a better user experience.

The developer of the Galaxy Gear app, a moderator for the Samsung community, released an update noting that the company’s developers were working on a feature to aid customers, particularly those with tattoos on their wrists, to receive better wear detection.

When trying to read health and fitness data from users who have tattoos on their wrists, the BioActive sensor in Galaxy watches has trouble. The tattoo ink prevents the watch from receiving any data since it deceives the sensor into believing that the watch is not being worn.

The business is actively working to improve the wearing-detecting feature, particularly for users with wrist tattoos, according to the most recent updates.

The upgrade is anticipated to be made available in the second half of this year, according to a SamMobile article on Samsung developers’ efforts to improve wearing recognition for users with wrist tattoos.

The BioActive sensor had some issues reading health and fitness data from tattooed wrists, which this update will specifically aim to address. By improving the performance of the sensor and fine-tuning its algorithms, the company is also aiming to improve the feature. The revision will assist in overcoming the difficulties tattoos provide.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5’s BioActive sensor’s most recent iteration has shown to be accurate and reliable at tracking all fitness and health data, but it has had trouble picking up information when the wearer has tattoos on their wrists. This is primarily because tattoo ink can interfere with the sensor’s operation.
