I see that, over the past 18 months, several wristband devices have received FDA approval for blood pressure monitoring. Samsung, can your users expect Samsung Health to begin tracking blood pressure soon with the latest Galaxy Watch sensors?

Waiting years, as well as through every iteration of Samsung Watch since Watch Sport and Smartphone S9+ (I was part of the My BP Lab testing). Patience is running out.

I believe it's a matter of priority for Samsung. While Google charges a subscription for advanced Fitbit health monitoring, Samsung Health does not: it's the primary reason why we chose the new Watch Ultra and 7 over the Pixel watches. Being a no-cost addition to the Samsung ecosystem, however, Samsung likely doesn't place a lot of importance on adding things like BP monitoring (even though many of us would benefit from it). Perhaps if Samsung were to commission a survey of how many additional devices they would sell if Samsung Health tracked watch-based blood pressure, they would be more motivated to press FDA for approval.
