Samsung's Galaxy Watch 9 misses the mark as screenless trackers take over

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 9 as a wellness-first smartwatch, highlighting Vitals, Fitness Index, and stronger sleep apnea detection.

The article says the bigger trend is moving toward slimmer, screenless health trackers like smart rings and thin bands.

Rivals and adjacent brands such as Oura, Whoop, Google, Garmin, and others are pushing that format faster.

Samsung is criticized for not introducing a screenless health device or a new Galaxy Ring to keep pace with the market shift.
