Samsung is removing the Vascular Load Labs feature from Galaxy Watches in the United States. Notifications sent to affected users and posts on the r/GalaxyWatch subreddit confirm that the feature will be discontinued with the release of the One UI 9 watch update in late July.

Samsung has not explained the reason for this change. The notification’s subject line states: "Vascular Load Labs feature to be discontinued."

Samsung also mentioned that after the update, existing Vascular Load data will no longer be visible in Samsung Health, although users are advised to download their data beforehand.

What Vascular Load Did And How To Save Your Data

Vascular Load was introduced in One UI 8 as a feature that tracks circulatory system stress and offers suggestions to manage heart health.

It was categorized as a Labs feature, meaning it was an experimental capability released alongside the main Samsung Health app. The feature was available on Galaxy Watch models in the US. Samsung has not specified whether it will be available in other markets following the recent discontinuation notice.

Samsung has announced that users can save their existing Vascular Load data before it is removed. To download the data, open Samsung Health on the paired phone, tap More options, then Settings, and select Download personal data.

Choose Vascular Load and follow the prompts to export. Anyone wanting to keep a record of their Vascular Load history should complete the export process before the removal in late July.

Samsung has not provided details on how long the data will remain available for download after the release of the One UI 9 watch update.

Why Samsung May Be Removing Vascular Load

Samsung has not provided an explanation for discontinuing Vascular Load. Some Reddit users have speculated that regulatory issues in the US may be a factor, as features that track health metrics can be subject to FDA rules.

Similar regulatory hurdles previously affected other smartwatch features, such as blood pressure measurement, which required longer approval processes and came with restrictions like monthly calibration and disclaimers stating the feature is not intended for medical use.

Android Police has contacted Samsung for a formal statement, but the company has not yet publicly explained the reason for removing the feature.

As Vascular Load is being phased out, Samsung is preparing to launch a new Blood Pressure Trend feature. The company has announced that this feature will be available in the US on the upcoming Galaxy Watch, which is expected to be revealed at a Galaxy Unpacked event later this month.

Blood Pressure Trend will monitor and analyze blood pressure over time. Setting up the feature will involve calibrating it with a blood pressure cuff, following the same process used for existing Galaxy Watch blood pressure functions.

Samsung has not specified whether Blood Pressure Trend will be available on current Galaxy Watch models or if it will be limited to the new hardware. Users interested in ongoing cardiovascular tracking on their wrist will need to wait for more details during the Unpacked event.

What Galaxy Watch Users Should Do Next

If you're a current Galaxy Watch user in the US who relies on Vascular Load, it's a good idea to export your existing Vascular Load data before it is removed in late July to keep your historical records.

Keep an eye on the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event for updates on Blood Pressure Trend and other health features available on the new Galaxy Watch.

You might also consider alternative methods for tracking heart health, such as standalone blood pressure monitors or apps that monitor heart rate variability.

Users outside the US should wait for confirmation from Samsung to see if Vascular Load will still be available in their region after the rollout of One UI 9 on the watch.

The One UI 9 Watch update is expected to be released in late July. In this update, Samsung will remove Vascular Load in the US. The company has not specified an exact date within the late July window nor provided a detailed rollout schedule beyond that timeframe.

Samsung has also not confirmed if Vascular Load will return in a different form after regulatory review or if its removal will be permanent.

Users can watch Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event later this month for more information on the company's plans regarding heart health features for the Galaxy Watch.
