Wearable technology has hit a new high with its latest edition of the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and a second-generation Galaxy Ring. In a sea of wearable products for fitness and health, some designs and platforms barely simplify their device for the user experience. Meanwhile, Samsung has also launched the Galaxy Z Fold7 to complement the compatible tech design and data storage, new products that are easier to use for active lifestyles.

In the new Samsung Galaxy’s “Can your phone do that?” campaign, rapper Doechii is featured showcasing the Galaxy Z Fold7’s duality and functionality of the smart device. Other highlights in this campaign include The Traitors star and winner Dylan Efron and rapper Jaden Smith, showing off the sleek “Z Foldables’” remarkable capabilities for a busy schedule.

Bravo reality television star Carl Radke, a wellness advocate and fitness enthusiast, has always been intentional about his personal style, both in fashion and in fitness. Known for his energetic personality and mindful approach to living, Radke, who has gone sober, recently partnered with Samsung Galaxy to host the “We Run on Rest” event in New York City, emphasizing the importance of recovery in an active lifestyle with the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and Ring.

Radke led a group run along the West Side Highway, tracking his performance with the Samsung Galaxy Watch8 and monitoring his stats on the Galaxy Z Fold7. Recording the run and all the bodily responses, the Galaxy Watch8 comes as a thinner model than previous generations. This is extremely lightweight and has a much brighter screen.

The aluminum case comes in a new cushion shape and interchangeable Dynamic Lug bands. This sleek case hugs your wrist for health readings sent to the Galaxy Z Fold7 device. A longer battery life, capable of going over 2 days without a charge, keeps new fitness tracking features locked in. The screen operates with enhanced performance, powering a reimagined One UI 8 Watch experience for smoother operation.

With an expanded 21:9 Cover screen and even sleeker form, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is easier to hold or tuck away during runs. Whether folded or unfolded, Galaxy Z Fold7 is exceptional, with a main screen that spans 8″ across, the most expansive screen on a Galaxy phone. Samsung upholds the idea of seamless integration of fitness and tech, highlighting how modern wearables can enhance both performance and personal style.

Carl Radke has always prioritized looking and feeling his best, whether on-screen or during his workouts. “I’ve always believed in ‘looking good, feeling good, playing good, and getting paid good,’” Radke says, quoting NFL Hall of Famer Deon Sanders. “ It’s about the details – socks, sneakers, everything. I’m particular about what I wear.”

His recent shift to sobriety has inspired his latest fitness journey. Preparing to run the New York City marathon, Radke sought wearable tech that reflects his commitment to optimizing his health, without sacrificing aesthetics. “I’ve bought some wearables in the last six months to track my health,” he recalls. “My running friends said I needed a watch. I’ve always worn a nice gentleman’s watch, but it doesn’t track running. This is the first time I’ve had something giving me real data and information that’s actually pertinent. It’s been really helpful.”

Radke has discovered the Galaxy Watch8, having a perfect balance between functionality and style. Its sleek, cushion-shaped design and Dynamic Lug bands ensure a comfortable fit, with the wrist fastening tucking away for seamless wear. While the screen is brighter with customizable watch faces, the Watch8 is thinner and has a lighter build, ideal for both workouts and everyday wear.

This latest model is designed to complement personal aesthetics. The Galaxy Watch8 offers customizable watch faces, allowing users to switch between a minimalist look for daily wear and a data-rich display for workouts, with additional chronograph-style faces. Radke describes it, “I can change the watch face to something simple or more dynamic. It’s versatile. I’ll say, it’s been worth it.”

“Samsung makes great products,” he admits. “For me, it’s about the size and sleekness. I’m a bigger guy, so I need something that fits well and is easy to work with.”

Radke explains further, “I like what I like to wear. This [Watch8] connects well! It’s sleek, sexy, and clean. As a guy, I wear watches, but it’s all about the right fit. It’s professional but also stylish.”

The Galaxy Z Fold7 to track runs, monitor recovery, and stay connected. The expanded 8″ Main Screen provides ample space for viewing Samsung Health metrics, while the slimmer folded form makes it easy to carry. “The sleep score isn’t my favorite, but the functionality is there,” Radke notes. “It’s different, but it works.”

For Carl Radke, fitness is just as much about style as it is data and recovery. With Samsung supporting runners with the latest Galaxy Watch8, the sleek, minimal design Galaxy Ring, and Z Fold7, he has found a blend of performance and sophistication in tracking his health journey, along with the right tech to elevate his workouts and personal aesthetic.
