I bought a Samsung watch that said it will have blood pressure but after purchasing it tells me my Android Google phone won't connect so I can't get my blood pressure.

Other than returning the watch does anyone know of a workaround app that I can connect to so I can get blood pressure???

Unfortunately blood pressure monitoring is part of the Samsung Health Monitor app, which only installs on Samsung phones.
If you search XDA and/or YouTube there are some hacks out there, but they involve downloading files to trick your watch into thinking it's connecting to a Samsung phone. Not sure if you want to get into all that...

Blood pressure is only in the health monitoring app, which can't be installed on Pixel phones. Return the watch.

The blood pressure feature is exclusive to users of Samsung phones paired with a Samsung watch.  It is not available when paired with a non-Samsung phone.  So, if you really want this feature, you will need to buy a Samsung phone.
