Track Your Periods on Galaxy Watch 3, Watch 4, Active & Active 2

It should be done by Samsung or Apple way before the Apple Watch Series 5 & Galaxy Watch Active 2 respectively. I am talking about the women’s health tool function on these watches. Both Apple & Samsung are big brands in the smartwatch or fitness tracker industry and there are billions of girls who use their wearables. It is my concern, both companies have started creating wearables since 2014, but forget to deliver one basic tool for women users. Back in the day, the smartwatches or smart bands, you will see blood oxygen, VO2 Max, fall detection, BP, and ECG trackers, but you won’t see period tracker. That changed after Apple launched Series 5 & Samsung last year upgraded its Health app.

Famous apps like Period Tracker and Flo Ovulation & Period Tracker apps are already available in the market. These apps are also available in the Play Store, App Store as well as Galaxy Store. It is time for companies to bring perfect and accurate menstrual cycle features for all its women users. Now, you will see the period tracker or menstrual cycle feature on both Apple & Galaxy Watches, so the women users could use it in their periods.

The women’s Health tools will help all women in many ways. They will get notified every month when their period is going to start. The period tracker lets you track your cycle length and helps you understand irregularities in your period. It is useful to grasp how ovulation works along with mood changes & hormonal changes. Overall it is essential to function to take care of the health of women users.

To get the help from your smartwatch, here I will simplify all the steps about how to use period tracker or menstrual cycle function onWear OS-based Galaxy Watch 4 & other Tizen-based Watch 3, Active & Active 2.
