Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your frustration with not having the newest features available on all devices. After further research, the vascular load service will only be available with Galaxy Watch Ultra or later released Galaxy Watch Series. Requires compatible Samsung Galaxy phone, Samsung Health app and Samsung account. Give this link a try for more information on the compatibility of the new features and devices: https://news.samsung.com/us/great-health-can-happen-overnight-samsung-galaxy-watch/#_ftn3
sensor-wise GW7 should work with said feature after updated to One UI 8.0 Watch, but there's a chance Samsung might gatekeeping new feature not work for older watch, who knows
From what I read in Samsung Health, Vascular Load and Antioxidant Index will only work with Watch 8 or newer. Previous watches don't have the appropriate sensors.
Well why did they give me the update with the vascular load and antioxidant features. I know it will measure the antioxidant measurement on my galaxy watch ultra which is the 7 model and not the 8 because I take measurements for it all the time but for the life of me it will not measure my baseline for vascular load and I've worn it for a month every single night. That's very irritating when samsung says it will do all this stuff but it either won't or the measurement is all out of whack.. this is ridiculous. If apple watches will do all these things why hasn't samsungs engineers figured this thing out already. Are they just succeeding that apple is better because that's crazy but at this point of these watches can't do what they say it can do and apple watches do then there's a serious issue somewhere they really need to fix because I hate apple and can't just give up and wear one so I really need them to get their **bleep** together geezzz
