What features does the smartwatch, designed for triathlon enthusiasts, have?
Published2017.06.07 10:51Upgraded essential wrist heart rate and advanced performance monitoring features
Garmin (www.garmin.kr) announced the launch of the 'Forerunner 935', a smartwatch with upgraded exercise performance monitoring functions and wrist heart rate measurement functions targeting triathlon enthusiasts.
The Forerunner 935 not only has the existing 24-hour heart rate monitoring function, but also has new training functions to help users adjust exercise intensity and activity level more precisely and systematically. The 'training function' added through collaboration with Finnish venture company Firstbeat helps Forerunner 935 users check their activity level and make exercise plans more easily. The automatic analysis function analyzes the user's exercise style and provides data on how the body reacted, allowing users to determine whether their training was appropriate or excessive.
The 'Running Dynamics Pod' provided as a package component can be easily worn on the waist and paired with the Forerunner 935, and allows for six biomechanical measurements, including cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation, and vertical ratio, without having to wear the existing chest strap. Accurately measured metrics enable users to achieve improved exercise performance and serve as coaches to help them understand and correct their running posture.
Additionally, the Forerunner 935 measures the ratio of aerobic/anaerobic exercise for each activity session, motivating users to push their limits and helping them see how they can improve further. The newly built-in TrainingPeaks app provides a variety of workouts that can be downloaded for free, and records exercise intensity and time in real time, allowing for more detailed performance analysis, providing a richer user experience.
It maintains an ultra-light weight of 49g while adding various functions, and the wearing comfort has also been improved for active sports enthusiasts. In addition, the QuickFit™ band introduced in the Fenix 5 series has been applied, allowing the wrist strap to be easily replaced with a variety of colors.
Battery performance has also been upgraded, allowing up to 24 hours of use in GPS mode, up to 50 hours in UltraTrac power-saving mode, and up to 2 weeks of use without charging when worn in smartwatch mode. It also has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). The recommended retail price is 669,000 won.

Apple and Google: Who Will Be First to Introduce a Healthcare Smartwatch?
According to trends announced by DigiEco, Apple is developing a smartwatch capable of blood glucose monitoring without blood draws. If a non-invasive blood glucose monitoring sensor is developed, it is expected to usher in an era of smartwatches capable of collecting health data. U.S. CNBC reported that blood glucose monitoring sensor development has been planned since Steve Jobs' time, has undergone testing at clinical testing facilities, and is showing progress to the extent of recruiting experts to assist with legal certification procedures. Google has also unveiled Study Watch, a smartwatch for apparel research purposes. Verily, a life sciences subsidiary of Alphabet, announced the formal implementation of the Baseline Project for establishing biomarkers. This project collected data samples encompassing everything from cellular tissues to tears, urine, and other test results, conducting phase one testing on 175 subjects in the summer of 2014, and plans to expand it. Verily plans to conduct testing on 10,000 participants in collaboration with Duke Medical School and Stanford Medical School. The plan is to collect health-related data by providing sensors monitoring heart rate, skin electrical activity, and activity level; smartwatches capable of recording electrocardiogram data; terminals capable of monitoring sleep habits; and hub terminals necessary for data reception and transmission. Fourth quarter 2016 smartwatch shipments increased 16.9% compared to fourth quarter 2015. While terminals are increasing, they remain primarily low-cost fitness devices. Upon completion of Apple's and Google's projects, a new era of wearable terminals is expected to open, with shipments anticipated to increase substantially.

[Experience the experience] I gave my Gear S3 with Samsung Pay to an employee when it didn't work.
이번 달 2일(화), 기어S3에 삼성페이 서비스가 들어왔다. ‘아, 기다리고 기다리던 삼성페이!’ 기어 유저들의 목소리가 들리는 듯 했다. 웨어러블 기기에 대한 독자들의 관심이 높아 눈여겨 보고 있던 찰나, 이때다 싶어 기어 S3 블루투스 버전을 차봤다. 아이폰과 기어의 만남 스마트 워치에 대한 경험이 전혀 없었기에 자체 폰(아이폰6)으로 적응 후 삼성 휴대폰을 사용하기로 했다. 먼저, 휴대폰에 Gear S앱을 설치했다. 아이폰에 정식으로 출시한 지 4개월 차 다. 추천 앱에는 워치페이스와 게임, 음악재생(멜론, Mnet), 서울대중교통 등이 있다. 휴대폰 연결 없이도 기본 앱인 S헬스(걸음 수, 커피/물 마신 잔 수, 계단 오른 횟수, 소모 칼로리, 심박 수 등)와 기압계, 달력, 미리 알림 뉴스 브리핑 등을 사용할 수 있지만, 언제나 Wifi를 연결할 순 없으니 블루투스를 연결했다. 전화를 걸거나 받고, 문자나 카톡은 새로운 메시지에 한해 확인만 할 수 있다.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
