Samsung harnesses AI-powered health for Filipinos with the Galaxy Watch Marathon

Samsung Philippines is excited to help Filipinos push their fitness limits as the official title sponsor of two of the country’s leading running events: the Galaxy Watch Manila Marathon and the Galaxy Watch Cebu Half-Marathon. This is the second time Samsung and Runrio have collaborated to promote the country’s developing running culture, with the AI-powered Galaxy Watch serving as the ideal health partner for runners across the nation.

The Galaxy Watch Manila Marathon, organized by RUNRIO in collaboration with the Department of Tourism (DOT), will take place on October 6 at the SM Mall of Asia Complex.

The route will take racers through iconic landmarks and vibrant neighborhoods, celebrating the metro’s rich heritage and dynamic spirit. Meanwhile, on November 24, the Galaxy Watch Cebu Half-Marathon will begin and end at the City di Mare by Filinvest, allowing participants to take in the picturesque seascape of Cebu as they go via the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, the country’s longest and tallest bridge.

Samsung has also launched the Galaxy Watch Run Club, which will help runners understand the foundations of competitive running and practice for races. The club will begin with a debut event in Makati City. The six-session program aims to improve performance and camaraderie through training and fitness challenges, utilizing advanced metrics from the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Watch7.

These devices feature an advanced Dual Frequency GPS system that allows users to map routes and track real-time positioning, as well as performance-tracking features such as the Watch Ultra’s Multi-sports Tile, which tracks multi-course workouts for a triathlon, from swimming to cycling to running. Furthermore, the Galaxy Watch7 is designed for everyday wellness, with over 100 workout tracking options and personalised fitness routines via its Workout Routine feature.

Members of the Galaxy Run Club also receive exclusive pricing on these devices, which enhances their training experience. The club is now expanding to Cebu; runners who finish three sessions receive 20% off their marathon registration, while those who complete five sessions receive unique products or a free spot in either the Manila or Cebu marathons.

Delivering Better Wellness on your Wrist with Galaxy AI

The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate workout companion, with a Titanium Grade 4 frame and 10ATM water resistance, making it suited for harsh circumstances. Its Dynamic Lug System improves comfort for activities ranging from deep-sea swimming to high-altitude cycling.

Furthermore, the new Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for cycling evaluates maximal cycling power in 4 minutes using AI-powered metrics personalized to you, and the Quick Button allows for rapid exercise beginnings, function customization, or activation of an Emergency Siren. It also has the greatest battery life in the Galaxy Watch series, lasting up to 100 hours in Power Saving and 48 hours in Exercise Power Saving mode.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Watch7 provides complete health insights, including sophisticated sleep analysis and an FDA-approved Sleep Apnea function. Real-time heart rate monitoring, ECG, and blood pressure (BP) tracking are all available, giving users a better understanding of their health.

A BioActive Sensor, which provides more accurate and complete data, enables this enhanced, in-depth monitoring and targeted insights. For the first time, the Galaxy Watch7 has an AGEs Index, allowing users to easily track advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Diet and lifestyle have a strong influence on AGEs, which reflect your total biological aging process and indicate metabolic health.
