My antioxidant index score has climbed from 56% to 90% after I radically changed my diet, validating that Samsung's sensor can truly detect healthier eating habits after a two-week buffer. If you're less sensitive to this discomfort, the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic may be your most comprehensive smartwatch option for tracking and judging the impact of your sleep, stress, diet, and lifestyle on your health.
