Never been sure why people care about the BP monitoring... if my BP was bad enough that I needed constant access to a monitor, I wouldn't trust the one in the Galaxy Watch to pretend to take the reading.
I do understand people being annoyed that a feature that's supposed to be there isn't though. But I set it up on my 3 and never bothered on the 4 or 5.
I understand what you're saying & even with the Watch being 'calibrated', I would never assume that it was totally accurate. It '
could', however, give me a clue that I'm possibly in trouble.
When my Blood Pressure is up, I don't always put together all the signs. I write it off to being tired, grouchy, etc. If it gets bad enough, I finally catch on & take a real BP reading.
Two years ago, on a camping trip, I was struggling. I looked at my GW3 & took an ECG. The graph was all over the place. Was I really in AFib... who knows! It felt like it. I laid down & performed controlled breathing exercises. It took a few hours before I felt better, my heart rate had dropped & the ECG was more balanced. I had my BP kit, but I was too confused to use it.
So would I swear it was perfect, no! However, it '
could' be a helpful, albeit, not perfect tool. I would be able to at least calibrate the device & test it against the real deal. Wish the US F.D.A would approve the BP function.
