Can my samsung s3 classic watch take my blood pressure?

[Android Central Question]

I have a Samsung s3 classic watch and I was wondering if it could take a blood pressure reading. Do I need to download any special apps? I have a samsung galaxy s8 plus phone paired with it. Thanks so much.

I moved this to the Gear S3 forum for more specific traffic.

I have the Frontier, it won't do blood pressure but it will do bpm (beats per minute) through the Samsung Health app. At least I don't think there is an app that'll do that, if there is I'd be very interested in it.

As far as I know, only the Galaxy watch active can do it. Or you can use a Galaxy S9/+ using the My BP lab app in both cases. I've read in the app comments it works with the note 9 as well. I haven't confirmed it, but perhaps that means the S10/+ could be compatible. I tried this app when I had my S9+ and it worked decently, it required me to fill out surveys about my moods and activities each time. Was just too time consuming.
