As convenient as smartphones are now, sometimes it’s troublesome to have to bring out your smartphone for small things like pausing your music or checking your messages, especially when you’re busy.
That’s when you need a fully connected ecosystem — and that’s what the Samsung Galaxy Ecosystem is.
The most useful device in this ecosystem is perhaps the Galaxy Watch5 series, which can do a lot more than just track your steps. By connecting the smartwatch to the Samsung Ecosystem through your Samsung account, you’ll be able to join the Galaxy Ecosystem and connect with your Galaxy smartphone, Buds, and more for seamless usability!
Here’s all you can do when you connect your Watch5 to the Galaxy Ecosystem.

Samsung Health App For Fitness Tracking
If you’re only tracking your steps and workout progress on your Watch5 alone, you’re missing out. All Galaxy devices come with the Samsung Health app, which gives you a fuller and clearer picture of your overall health condition!
The Samsung Health app offers plenty of tools to improve your fitness level, from steps to sleep and even stress levels. It organizes all the data that the Watch5 registers and consolidates them into an easy-to-read interface so that you can get a clearer picture of your progress and set the right goals.
