Here’s how to use blood pressure monitoring on Samsung Galaxy smartwatches
Samsung’s smartwatches come with a bunch of cool features along with a new and unique design. Users can also customize the Galaxy watches in different ways just like their smartphone. The company offers smart wearables in two different build materials including stainless steel and aluminum body.
Not only impressive hardware, but the Galaxy Watch offering from Samsung also provides numerous health features and alerts too, if needed. One of the top features of the Galaxy smartwatches is “blood pressure monitoring”. However, this feature is only available for the Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Active 2 users.

This functionality allows users to easily measure the blood pressure from their wrist. Along with this, the Korean tech giant has recently expanded the availability of the ECG function that lets you check for signs of heart disease. Users have to calibrate the dedicated blood pressure cuff according to their wrist to start blood pressure monitoring through a compatible Galaxy Watch.
Here’s how blood pressure monitoring works on Samsung smartwatches?
Once you calibrated the watch with a traditional cuff, the device measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the heart rate monitoring sensors. The program then analyzes the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine the blood pressure. To ensure accuracy, users are required to calibrate their device at least every four weeks and the system apps of the watch must be updated to the latest version.
Note: Same as Samsung’s ECG feature, this feature is also currently available on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Watch Active 2 as these are the only smartwatches that have the latest Android version and also fulfill the requirements for executing this feature.
Steps to take blood pressure on the smartwatch:
- Make sure the Galaxy Wearable, Samsung Health, and Samsung Health Monitor apps on phone and are up to date.
- After updating all apps, the first thing to do is calibrate the watch. For that, you need to open the Health Monitor app, tap on the blood pressure tab. After that, you will be prompted to the page where you need to calibrate the watch using Kinetik’s advanced blood pressure monitor.
- Get the blood pressure monitor cuff in place on your arm making sure that you are sitting down, relaxed, then place your arm is positioned level with your heart.
- Then wearing the blood pressure monitor cuff, place your Samsung smartwatch on the wrist.
- After the watch started prompting, start the blood pressure monitor and wait for 30 seconds to get the readings.
- After completing the measurement, you need to add two numbers on the Samsung Health Monitor app that calibrated on the monitor.
- After that, repeat the process three times for the correct reading before you take the cuff off.
- Once the calibration process is done simply head to the health monitor app, click on the widget to take the measurement of heart rate, and wait for 30 seconds until you get the details of the blood pressure.
