Measure Stress on Samsung Watch

The stress tracker measures certain biomarkers to determine your stress level. Your stress measurements will be more accurate the more you use the tracker. Your current stress level is shown on the stress gauge and ranges from low to high. You average stress level reflects your measurements from last year.

Your stress measurements don't necessarily reflect how you're feeling, so add a note about your emotional state with each measurement. Stress measurements will pause during vigorous activity and when Samsung Health detects that you are sleeping. Smoking, alcohol, caffeine and drugs can affect your stress measurements.
