Anyone try the new blood pressure function?

Just wanted to see if anyone tried it out yet.

I have not received the updated Samsung Health/Samsung Health Monitor app yet. I understand it will be rolled out in phases that started 3/31/2026. Has anyone gotten it yet?

The update is in the Health Monitor app, it came thru last week for my device.

Does this feature only work with Samsung phones? I've got my Classic Watch 5 paired to a Google Pixel 10 Pro and I don't see this feature being available.

The Blood Pressure watch feature needs the Samsung Health Monitor app installed on your phone to enable & calibrate the watch sensor. At this point, Samsung hasn't made that app compatible with other phones.

Ok, thanks for that info.

So does anyone believe that Samsung will release a version for non-Samsung phones?

I wouldn't hold my breath.

fwiw, in the BP readings on my watch, the systolic runs a little higher than readings on my cuff.

I think there is a 3rd party app that enables you to use the BP function on your non Samsung device.
