Samsung is ending the “Vascular Load” feature on its Galaxy Watches for users in the United States. Multiple outlets report that Samsung Health notifications tell customers the feature will disappear in late July as Samsung rolls out Samsung Health version 7.0 and One UI Watch 9. The change is expected to apply to current Galaxy Watch models, including devices that will ship with One UI 9 Watch preinstalled, while older models receive the update gradually.
When Vascular Load is deactivated, the associated data no longer appears inside Samsung Health. Samsung says users can still retrieve the information by downloading their personal data through Samsung Health, via the “More options” and “Settings” menus.
Samsung is replacing Vascular Load with a new health metric related to blood pressure. Sources agree that “Blood Pressure Trend(s)” will take its place within Samsung Health 7.0 and One UI Watch 9, but the exact feature behavior beyond the naming is not detailed in the reports.
