Blood pressure won't record

[Scooper]

It's never 120/80. What's the deal? Nothing happens when I hit MEASURE.

Sorry but in the US, no Samsung device has the ability to measure Blood Pressure. The phone does not have the ability and the FDA hasn't approved it for the watch yet.

Thank you so much. I didn't read this anywhere and I KNOW my bp is not always at 120/80! I'll get rid of that tile.

Exactly...Samsung promoted and promotes a watch with a capacity that has not been approved for years...

If you are concerned about your blood pressure you can purchase a blood pressure cuff. They are not expensive. Even if your watch could measure blood pressure I doubt it would be accurate.

I have two accurate cuffs. I had hoped the watch would provide a reading on the fly.

I've had 3 different smart watches that have a bp function and all of them always show 120/80 +- a couple of points. I don't think it's possible to get an accurate bp reading without a cuff and that function is mostly just for show.

[Scooper]

103/53 is not even close to 120/80. I know better, which is why I was suspicious.

I'm just saying I think they just make it up and it's not anywhere close to the actual bp.
