I tried Samsung Health’s huge redesign for 2026. Here are the 5 biggest hits and misses

Samsung has redesigned its health tracking application, Samsung Health, coinciding with the launch of the Galaxy Watch 9 and One UI 9. The new interface features a vibrant color palette that some users find overwhelming, as colors no longer correspond to specific health metrics. The app includes a new top shortcuts bar for easier navigation to core health aspects like Activity, Sleep, Vitals, Mindfulness, and Nutrition, and allows customization of the dashboard. Graphs have been improved with pinch-to-zoom functionality, but this feature is inconsistently applied across different metrics. The app lacks a comprehensive graph page for comparing multiple metrics and may present unsupported features for users of older devices like the Galaxy Watch 4.
