The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 and its predecessor are among the best Android smartwatches on the market. Besides their excellent performance and features, these wearables can track all your key health metrics.

The BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) sensor on the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 can measure your skeletal muscle, fat mass, body fat percentage, Body Mass Index (BMI), body water, and Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). This provides a more holistic overview of your health over BMI. The sensor cannot measure your weight, so you must enter it manually before starting the measurement process.

It seems though there are a good couple of things to bear in mind when using this feature, and the linked article covers those.
