Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra along with the Galaxy Z Flip6, Galaxy Z Fold6, Galaxy Buds3, and Galaxy Ring. Much information is already known about the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, including design, features, and specifications.

Earlier this year, Samsung received approval from the FDA for the sleep apnea detection feature, which is the first time for a consumer smartwatch. Now, on the launch day of the Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra, older Galaxy Watch users are reported to have started receiving the sleep apnea feature.

A Reddit user named Enjinr shared several screenshots showing the sleep apnea feature after installing the latest update of the Samsung Health Monitor app. The user also noted that they are listed on the Samsung One UI Watch 6, beta program available for the Galaxy Watch4, Galaxy Watch5, and Galaxy Watch6 series.

Screenshots shared show that the latest sleep apnea feature is not available on the Galaxy Watch running One UI 5 Watch. To use this feature, users must wear their watch while sleeping for two nights.

During this time, the watch will track the user's sleep for at least four hours every night, monitoring the decrease in oxygen levels in the blood. After two nights, the sleep apnea feature will shut down automatically and offer results to users, which includes details about the possibility of moderate to severe sleep apnea.

The user also noted that there are some additional technical requirements for the sleep apnea feature, including Galaxy Watch 4 minimum watch support, Wear OS 5.0 minimum (One UI 6), and a minimum Phone OS Android 9 minimum.

The Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra are both expected to appear with the latest sleep apnea feature straight from the box because they need One UI 6 Watches, which will be equipped with these two upcoming smartwatches.
