Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro users can now check the battery health of their smartwatches on the Samsung Members app on paired phones.

Apart from this, users can also run diagnostics on the smartwatch’s loudspeaker, touchscreen and other features. This new feature doesn’t claim to improve the smartwatch’s battery life.
