Samsung Enables Blood Pressure Monitoring on Some Galaxy Watch Models in the US; Watch 9 Development Tipped
Samsung has introduced blood pressure monitoring for select Galaxy Watch models in the US via the Samsung Health Monitor app. The feature lets users track systolic and diastolic readings along with heart rate, and requires regular calibration with an upper-arm monitor. It adds to existing health tools such as ECG and sleep apnea detection. Separately, a firmware listing has hinted at early testing of the Galaxy Watch 9, with reports suggesting it could launch next year alongside Samsung’s next foldable phones.
