Is Blood Pressure Accurate on the Galaxy 6 Watch?

- Some people say the Galaxy Watch 6's blood pressure monitoring feature does not live up to the hype.
I put it to a real-world test with a high-intensity shadowboxing session, taking readings before and after. We all know blood pressure should spike after such a workout. Will the watch confirm that or prove the naysayers right?

You can notice clearly that the systolic blood pressure increased. Exercise increases systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure measures blood vessel pressure when your heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the blood vessels between heartbeats. It shouldn't change significantly during exercise.

Hey, thanks for the video!
How does the bp sensor in galaxy watch 4 compared to 6? Is there an improvement?

i dont have the classic but regular 6 and it dont have the bp tile. just EKG tile.. heard in USA they dint approve. not sure if thats true or not
Indeed. BP is not available yet in the US because of the FDA.

In Serbia also no that option. But i found on yt how to hack that option😃
There is a way to add a modded samsung health app to your watch and to your phone that enables it.
@@newax_productions2069 i do with moded app and developer option . And now work great
If it just gives you a higher BP reading when it detect a higher BPM reading? You cant verify this unless you may increase your BP but keep BPM the same.

Thanks for sharing the result with before and after workout. It looks good. Could you test with arm type blood pressure to have a comparison? Thanks a lot
Thank you for the feedback I will keep that in mind

Wait.. we have blood pressure on our eatch? How do i activate that??
The Samsung Health Monitor app, which enables blood pressure monitoring, is available in more than 30 countries, but there's no specific mention of availability in the United States as of now.
You were so fast sometimes it even seemed you were speeding up the video :p Good video btw.
😂
Thank you, i can buy this watch now
I don't believe it's accurate, the post-workout BP, systolic should have been way higher than that... During workout BP is 160/90 usually.. If you sit down, measure immediately, it still should be close to that but lower.
was also surprised about the 134/ on 150+ BPM..

How to fight a ghost.
Lol
Brilliant comment!❤😂
My arm reading was 107/63, and this watch showed 150/78. Not even a little off. I've been unnecessarily stressed as a result.
Watch the other video I made.

Let me save you some time; No, it's not accurate. If there was an optical device you could slap on someone's wrist and have an accurate blood pressure reading, that device would be used in every single hospital. Instead, we've been using the same method for well over a hundred years.

err that doesnt mean its accurate .... how about comparing it to an actual bp machine or reading?

I don't believe that this app is still available in the United States. I don't see it anywhere on my watch.
BP I still not available in the US since it hasn't received the FDA's approval.

The watch is moving too much take a measure manually and not live
Bro after your heavy work out the diastolic Pressure actually dropped from 75 to 70. So i think it should increase. So watch is showing a wrong result bro. Please do similar test again n post video
Exercise increases systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure measures blood vessel pressure when your heart beats. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the blood vessels between heartbeats. It shouldn't change significantly during exercise.

@@WYSbyAdamLash thank you for explanation! Great job in here. +1 subscribed (from Brazil). I'll gonna buy the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and yours videos help me to take my final decision. Soon Samsung Will lauch the Galaxy Ring, lets see...!
Thank you and all the best!
Stupid you he has a TH-cam channel and you don’t so he’s right
For some person it reduces
Now please do, BP when you wake up. And BP after eating a whole day buffet while seating.
Thanks
I'm starting to grow frustrated with Samsung. The BP feature failed me at the doctor's office when my bp was high and it was showing normal.
@WYSbyAdamLash Was your arm down or at heart level?

Your mistake was not using a proper bp monitor right after using the watch after you workout. 134/70 is not that different than 114/74. Want more proof, put the watch on a senior with bad bp, it will still be in *your* calibrated range, even if a real monitor shows a much higher number.
To each their own.
134 vs 114 systolic is entirely different. One is perfectly normal and the other is elevated.
@@HayyyChristiann The point is these current bp watches are entirely a gimmick and not one person has demonstrated objectively that they're not a gimmick. Standing on a spot and running isn't going to do anything meaningful to your bp and if he really wanted to show something he would have sat down and shown the watch and shown arm monitor at the same time, without any cut away in the video. This video demonstrated nothing useful, and then the laughable "to each their own" 🙄. He's made up his mind and he shut down when he's confronted with logic. LOL.
@@dosdont the FDA doesn’t clear something without proper demonstration of its abilities. While it’s obvious that a watch shouldn’t be relied on for BP, calling it a gimmick will only suppress any innovations. Because smartwatches, much like smartphones have become stale and boring and need overhauls and innovation. People said folding phones were a gimmick and shot them down when Samsung pushed out their first model and now they’re becoming more mainstream with great strides in quality.
@@HayyyChristiann That isn't proof of anything and the FDA clears harmful shit all the time, are you kidding me? Where have you been? Have you not been paying attention? Look at all the drug warnings in drug tv commercials. Why do you think they're there, for your safety? No it's for the drug manufacturers liability protection and the FDA clears all these drugs. Granted, the bp watch gimmick isn't going to kill anyone but hanging your hat on the FDA is silly.
Yes, it shouldn't be relied on and it's *ENTIRELY* a gimmick. I was having a medical episode, when you're older, dealing with your bp can sometimes be a struggle. Well the watch which was calibrated properly as per their instructions said my bp was in the same range as my calibration numbers. I knew it wasn't true because I could feel it wasn't true as I was feeling so bad. I took my bp with my monitor which I calibrated at my doctor's office to be sure, well the monitor said I was at 165/120. I have another arm monitor and used that also, same, 160's/120's. That was consistent with how I was feeling.
You honestly think people calling Samsung out about their gimmicky bp watch is going to stop them from innovating more gimmicks? Come on get serious. There's money to be made and if it's a gimmick then why would I encourage this snake oil? If it's a gimmick, it should be called out as a gimmick, what kind of unethical immoral person wouldn't want them called out? Not me.
As far as foldables, I have literally never seen one other than on TH-cam videos being reviewed. Ironically, I'm likely getting the 6 when it comes out as my 10 plus, which is still good, even the battery, doesn't get updates anymore and I'm not comfortable running a phone without up to date security updates.
Just walking increase BP and hr

My galaxy watch 6 is garbage! It is easy to get empty battery which makes it useless.. the Blood pressure is not accurate!!
It requires a real blood pressure monitor before it can use its inaccurate bp monitoring. Which is they require it because the watch relies on the the real BP app.
Such a useless device! Don't waste your money.
