Now those who have tattoos will be able to use smart watches!
If you can’t use your Samsung Galaxy Watch Active with a tattoo on your wrist, you’re not alone. This problem, which came to the fore with Watch Active, is not only specific to Samsung watches. The same problems are experienced in the watches of other smart watch manufacturers such as Apple Watch and Huawei Watch. Although other brands do not talk much about this issue, Samsung seems to have taken care of the issue.
So why is this problem occurring? The answer to the question is actually quite simple. The inks used for tattooing have very thick surfaces. It is also applied to the layer of the skin called the dermis, which is located one under the upper skin. Smart watches, on the other hand, monitor heart rate, oxygen level, etc., via their optical sensors while on your wrist. sends beams to measure values. Since the rays sent by the watch cannot pass through the paint layer where the tattoo is, the watches either measure incorrectly or do not measure at all.
