it is logical that the blood pressure is calibrated using a more precise cuff based blood pressure monitor rather than a wrist type but then it will read the blood pressure from the wrist. so i calibrated mine with a wrist monitor. works fine.
gonna the ecg now. Thanks. edit - mine a 40mm non pro watch 5. Answer me, swiped the watch face and no ecg. The options to add Tiles had no ecg under Samsung health. Some watches are not ecg equipped?
Recording ECG works fine on my Galaxy Watch4 (H71M) model SM-R870 in Canada. But, can't calibrate. It says "No compatible watch found. To use this feature, you need a Galaxy watch Active 2 or later model that was released in a country where this feature has been arpproved. It's on One UI v 5.0 Watch. Software version R870XXU1HWH3 / SM=R870NZKAXAA." Am I missing something?
This video is from Canada. I wasted a lot of time trying to get it set up in U.S. Will not work here. Not even an option. My blood pressure device pairing app (Omron Connect)is also unbelievable in the amount of data they collect and sell. You cannot opt out of marketing and data sharing unless you live in California or Maryland. If you have an Omron device for taking your BP, i suggest not installing the device app until Samsung gets approval for this feature in the U.S. I am considering reseearch on whether there is an alternative device more respectful of medical privacy. Video was good. I just wish since it was Best Buy, that my assumption the information was for the U.S. was disabused earlier. I thought it was not approved, I did not realize that meant you could not use it at all. Good video. Bad we are being held back in U.S.
I knew this part about not being able to use it in the US. I am still hoping that If I buy one from Canada that the app and monitor will work here in the US. I just need to find a list of models that I could buy from Canada that will work.
U.S. FDA no doubt would not allow this feature-govt department is worthless. All other countries approve but the things that are harmful that other countries will not accept, US FDA allows.
I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but I don't see the BP option for the watch, only ECG? How do I get the BP app for the watch? I'm in the US and I have a normal BP cuff too.
The FDA in the US hasn't approved the feature on samsung watches yet and they don't seem to be in a hurry to so samsung can't allow us to use that feature unfortunately..
@@Sphios What if I buy a Canada version of the watch. WIll it still work on my samsung phone and apps or is is locked out of the app? One could buy a watch that has it and them have it shipped?
@@kameljoe21 from my understanding, it's not the watch that's the problem. It's actually the software and the software knows what region you are in. But I did read that there is a way to basically download a cracked version of the health app which will allow the blood pressure monitoring to work. If you Google it, you'll probably be able to find it. But I never tried it because after looking into the actual blood pressure monitoring of the watch, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle. It's only accurate for about 1 month at a time and then you have to recalibrate it with a blood pressure monitoring device again. For you though, if you have health issues and need to keep track of your BP, maybe it would be worth it
It's not in the galaxy store from what I can see. My mom found it pre installed on the watch, and once open it gives you a download button for your phone to get it. Experience has been awful trying to get going.
NOT esp. if you have a Samsung phone. YOU NEED a Samsung phone for these to work. They are blocked on all other phones which I find infuriating as I just bought a watch 5 only to discover that some health monitoring is crippled UNLESS you have a Samsung phone.
U.S. buyers beware the blood pressure and glucose features are not available. I bought one for just that the BP monitoring. Every country allows this feature but U.S. Wish I lived near Canada so I could have gotten one there U.S. ‘s FDA is worthless.
So frustrating. I have zero ecg info on my samsung health app. I go to the store and type in samsung health monitor. I click update. It spins for a sec then goes back to update. I go back to my app and nothing has changed. Unbelievable how anyone at samsung can create such a problematic process to achieve.
Aug 5 2023 I just called SAMSUNG TECH because my BLOOD PRESSURE feature on Samsung watch 5 is missing. The tech tried to help me reinstall it but then found with the last Samsung UPDATE the feature was REMOVED for blood pressure monitoring by the FDA? Strange because I still ahave that feature on a different brand (cheaper) watch that I own.
@deddagen me too for me and wife both and both with zfold 5s or our s21 ultras NO blood pressure app in Samsung health because of FDA removal in US.... I'm probably gonna go dev mode and side load it what some bullshit
i had a heart attack @im 56...so i have the watch5 and we did check that with a long-term ekg..and what the watch5 say it not 100 % accurat...so best use a blood pressure monitor for your arm and not the clock..btw none of the smartwachtes work 100 % right..i had huaweii too same problem...so take care when u mean the watch show u right please go doctor
You should do à good training for your watch sellers on this and more... i’m juste a galaxy watch user and every time that i speak whit them about watch, i blow their mind 😂
Not get blood pressure yet still SUCK! Our USA Samsung Health Monitor app only one EKG rating 2.5 star wow people uninstall cuz don't have get blood pressure not yet that why..
I just have to add that it still wasn't clear as to where and specifically to set up with what equipment. I understand warning and urging people not to rely on certain things for medical info. I can only chuckle when half these videos urging people in a voice of desperation to not rely on it for medical use. I don't think anybody spent the hundreds of dollars just for the BP monitor features only. LOL
I didn't hear anything about how to make the blood pressure monitor work.
Lol. Right.
Exactly. Title says "how to" then proceeds to tell us "what is" with no further instructions 😂
Thanks for the heads up before I watched it lol
Thank you for saving me time.
Yes he does
Can you tell me if the watch measures blood pressure on its own throughout the day and night so you can see the results on the app?
How about getting to the point where is the app for the Samsung ultra g4 or is there an app only for the 5?
it is logical that the blood pressure is calibrated using a more precise cuff based blood pressure monitor rather than a wrist type but then it will read the blood pressure from the wrist. so i calibrated mine with a wrist monitor. works fine.
Nice explanation, how aand where do I find it, its not on my health moniter,
Now I find out. Not approved in the USA. Bullshit
This comment needs pinned so people aren't wasting time
US medical mafia
The dude was rambling way too much. Goodness
gonna the ecg now. Thanks.
edit - mine a 40mm non pro watch 5. Answer me, swiped the watch face and no ecg. The options to add Tiles had no ecg under Samsung health. Some watches are not ecg equipped?
So, how do we activate the blood pressure feature? It all sounded good and dandy, but you didn't explain it.
Recording ECG works fine on my Galaxy Watch4 (H71M) model SM-R870 in Canada. But, can't calibrate. It says "No compatible watch found.

Without the actual blood pressure monitoring device, this means nothing correct? Bigger claim than actual0??
do ecg and bp work only in samsung devices ?
Finally! A clear and good explanation about this feature. Thank you thank you
I cant find this app on galaxy store

Did you end up buying from canada and does it actually work in the US?@@kameljoe21
Hey. Did you ever find a decent app for blood pressure? Thank you in advance.
U.S. FDA no doubt would not allow this feature-govt department is worthless. All other countries approve but the things that are harmful that other countries will not accept, US FDA allows.

Does it only works on Samsung mobile or ?
cant find the blood pressure tile on watch 6
I can't find the blood pressure app. How he has it?
I think it's only for the 5 it's pre installed.
not available in every country
I have the 5 Pro and I still can't find it. I'm in the US.
I'm having the same problem. I tried talking to Samsung but they just gave me this video to look at
It's not in the galaxy store from what I can see. My mom found it pre installed on the watch, and once open it gives you a download button for your phone to get it. Experience has been awful trying to get going.
app is not present on the Galaxy store. I am using a Note series phone.
did you figure out a way for the Blood Pressure monitor to work? thanks.
NOT esp. if you have a Samsung phone. YOU NEED a Samsung phone for these to work. They are blocked on all other phones which I find infuriating as I just bought a watch 5 only to discover that some health monitoring is crippled UNLESS you have a Samsung phone.
Blood pressure not available in USA yet 😢
Couldn't install in the US
Everything worked fine but the problem is I don't have a machine to measure my blood pressure and calibrate with watch
Wow, thanks so much

Is the blood pressure monitoring available on watch 6?
I just bought a zfold 5 and watch 6 and fck no it's not...I was expecting this feature
@@ShawnGilbert1967 damn. Now what! I just pre ordered the watch 6 lte. One of the main reasons was blood pressure monitoring
@deddagen me too for me and wife both and both with zfold 5s or our s21 ultras NO blood pressure app in Samsung health because of FDA removal in US....
I'm probably gonna go dev mode and side load it what some bullshit
@@ShawnGilbert1967 please keep me updated as well. I need to know too if it works with dev install

I cant find the app please help me
the Samsung website has suggestions to help you get the app: www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01208785/
You should do à good training for your watch sellers on this and more... i’m juste a galaxy watch user and every time that i speak whit them about watch, i blow their mind 😂
Previous Galaxy watch health features were never accurate....they were kind of gimmicky.
Didn't know there was such a thing as a Galaxy store
Is there a video anyone can suggest as to how to access the app on the phone? What symbols to click on and such?
Is there anyone with hypertensive crisis confirmed with the watch?
I find it to be so inconsistent and very stressful
the conclusion is ecg & bpm features is not accurate, so do not expect much. 🙂
Or on a positive note it only works for 28 days after calibration
Not get blood pressure yet still SUCK! Our USA Samsung Health Monitor app only one EKG rating 2.5 star wow people uninstall cuz don't have get blood pressure not yet that why..
WOW, not a single word about how to install, set up or even find your features! Gee Thanks!!!!! A waste of time!!!!!!
This is not enabled for India. Such a disapointment, Samsung
Horrible a lot of talking and no direction on how to set up blood pressure. To much talking. Meat and potatoes please. Get to the point.😢
You told me nothing
He talks like Robert Downey Jr.
didn't even show how exactly to set up the blood pressure reading. hate videos like this.
I just have to add that it still wasn't clear as to where and specifically to set up with what equipment. I understand warning and urging people not to rely on certain things for medical info. I can only chuckle when half these videos urging people in a voice of desperation to not rely on it for medical use.

Buy a normal watch ,dun waste your curiosity to buy it?
not correct mgerment
You talk too mucy
he does it and gets an inconclusive so it obviously does not work well
No, it works in many cases as I have seen other reviews. Have you tried?
BTW nice pfp;)
