One key expansion area for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is through its health accessories. With fitness tech a big market, it's clear why Samsung's keen to move into this area. Holding it all together is the S-Health 2.0 app, which is designed to monitor and report on your body, talking to all of the available kit.
S BAND
S Band fits onto your wrist and is designed to be worn at all times, monitoring your daily activity. It will record the number of steps you've taken, calories burned and distance travelled, so you can find out how active you are and adjust your daily routine if you don't think that you're getting enough exercise.

It's also active while you're asleep, monitoring how much you move during the night. This could be useful if you never wake refreshed, as you'll be able to tell how restful your night's sleep really was.
S Band is available in four different colours (pink, blue, brown and black) and is waterproof to 10m, so you can wear it pretty much everywhere. UK pricing has not been announced.
HRM
The HRM is a hear rate monitor, which works with the Running Mate app. It checks your heart rate in real time, so you can see at a glance if your exercise regime is giving you a proper workout.

HRM is a black band that straps across your chest. It connects to the Samsung Galaxy S4 via Bluetooth. UK availability and price have not yet been announced.
BODY SCALE
With the popularity of hi-tech scales, such as the Withings Body Scale, it's no surprise that Samsung's looking to get in on the act with its Body Scale.
Keep track of your weight on your phone using these Bluetooth scales
This supports up to seven users via the S-Health 2.0 app, keeping track of your weight over time. While Withings' scale uploads your data via Wi-Fi to the cloud, Samsung's requires a Bluetooth connection to the phone to store weight data. To our mind that makes it quite a bit less flexible. Again, no UK price or availability has been announced.
