Here’s how the iPhone Duo stacks up against the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8

A recent survey has revealed that a significant number of Galaxy Watch users are unaware of a useful feature that is present on their devices. This feature, the body composition monitor, was first introduced on the Galaxy Watch 4, the first Samsung device to measure the material makeup of its owner's body, including skeletal mass and body fat percentage.

Despite its inclusion in every subsequent flagship Samsung watch, including the Galaxy Watch 9, this tool remains overlooked and is no longer aggressively marketed by Samsung. According to the poll results, under 35% of respondents use the body composition tool "regularly," while an additional 20.5% use it when they "remember it exists."

A staggering 14% of respondents have "tried it once or twice," while 18.3% had no idea this feature even existed. The underappreciation of this feature does not appear to be due to poor performance, as only about 6% of respondents found it "too awkward or unreliable" to use regularly. To maximize accuracy and reliability, Samsung advises keeping variables surrounding each reading consistent, such as sampling at the same time each day and ideally on an empty stomach.

Despite these minor issues, the body composition sensor is undoubtedly one of the Galaxy Watch's most underrated and underappreciated health features.
