Samsung has also updated the SmartThings Find now allowing you to find the location of the watch on the map. This new addition could be useful in dire situations. We’re also looking at an improved Hand Wash app that automatically detects whenever you wash your hands. The app can also automatically keep the track of the time. Lastly, the changelog also mentions some system improvements and reliability.
If you own Verizon’s version of the wearable and reside in the US, then you might have already received the update notification. Alternatively, you can manually check for it by heading over to Watch Software Update inside the Galaxy Wearable app. There is a chance that the carrier might be rolling it out in the batches meaning you might not get it right away. Hopefully, that should not be the case.
