Samsung Watch Judges Your Salad, Misses Cheez-Its
Samsung's Galaxy Watch 8 has apparently turned into your nutrient-snitching gym coach. With its 'Antioxidant Index' feature, it uses LEDs to scan carotenoid levels under your skin and coaches you on your fruit and veggie intake, demanding you hit 400g daily. As the article dryly puts it, 'Normally, smartwatches donât make judgments about your nutritional intake.' Oh, but this one does! Now you can get health-shamed right from your wrist while munching on your decidedly antioxidant-deficient Cheez-Itsâbecause, newsflash, those cheesy squares apparently do NOT count.

So let me get this straight â my Samsung Watch 8 scans my thumb to judge my diet but wonât warn me against dipping Cheez-Its in ranch? Talk about selective enforcement.
Samsungâs Galaxy Watch 8 measuring antioxidants like itâs the health Hulk, scanning thumbs while Iâm over here wondering if my cheese crackers count as microgreens. Spoiler: They donât.
