Here are all the cool new hand gestures coming to Samsung Galaxy Watch 3
Samsung has kind of confirmed that it will release a new wearable, which will likely be called the Galaxy Watch 3, on August 5 during its Unpacked event and its app is now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. XDA Developers and 9to5Google prodded the app and in the process, uncovered some new features.
Galaxy Watch 3 hand gesture for answering a call
Galaxy Watch models already let you take a screenshot, but with the Galaxy Watch 3, the method to do so will change. Right now, you are required to press the bottom button while swiping right simultaneously to take a screenshot. With the new wearable, you will have to hold both side buttons at the same time to take a screen capture.
The Galaxy Watch 3 will also let you silence alarms and incoming calls with a twist of your wrist. To capture a picture or video in the Camera Controller app, you will have to make a fist and open it.

The APK teardown also reveals that the Galaxy Watch 3 will get a fall detection feature. If the accessory suspects you have fallen down, it will ring for a minute and if it doesn't get a response from you, it will send your location and a five-second voice recording to your emergency contacts. Additionally, you will also be able to ask the watch to place an emergency call.

Based on previous leaks, the Galaxy Watch 3 will be available in two sizes - 45mm and 41mm.
