Perplexity debuts ‘Health’ AI assistant with Fitbit and Apple Health integration

🚀 New Launches

Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 adds Heart Health Score and Energy Score for daily wellness metrics, a personalization play different from Apple Watch‘s medical-grade Afib detection. If execution is solid, it’s Samsung’s strongest wellness strategy yet.

Marty’s Take:

Samsung’s Fitness Index and Heart Health Score matter less as features than as a signal: wellness scoring is becoming the default arms race, not a differentiator. Buyers should stop asking “which watch has AI coaching” (most flagships will soon) and start asking which ecosystem you’re already locked into. Compare specs directly before switching: our comparison guides break down what actually changes day to day.
