Galaxy Watch 7 & a wheelchair

[Members_XVhOjip]

So I got a Galaxy watch 7 just before Christmas and I'm seriously impressed. Having never owned a smart watch I was amazed at all the functions and monitoring it can do. However, given that it's 2023, why is there no ability to track movement in a wheelchair and why are there no wheelchair sports? Come on Samsung, get it sorted.

Hello @Members_XVhOjip and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum 👋 

I agree that Samsung should look at such activities for a more wider spectrum of users. 

In this thread https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/wearables/tracking-steps-for-wheelchair-user   @Ember1  suggests " Permobil push tracker. It works on my watch and as a wheelchair user I find its info relevant. It can tell the difference between coasting or pushing and measures not only distance but reps. I hope it works for you too. " 

A person can also send feedback via the Samsung Members App too for samsung to analyse.

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Hi @Members_XVhOjip  Welcome to the Samsung community     Hopefully the app suggested will be beneficial, I agree though that Samsung should look at activities to benefit all sections of society.  Samsung has  created product Inklusion aimed at improving product Design and Reference groups have been tasked with understanding the challenges and finding creative ways to address them with design experts.

However obviously there is some way to go.
