Meanwhile, the electrocardiogram (ECG) function works by recording the heart’s electrical activity via a sensor on the compatible Galaxy Watch.Īll you need to do is open your Samsung Health Monitor app while seated comfortably, and ensure the watch is fitted firmly to your wrist. Once the calibration and setup process are completed, users can access this information and export measurements to PDF. The program then records the relationship between the calibration value and the blood pressure change to determine the blood pressure. The Galaxy Watch5 measures blood pressure through pulse wave analysis, which is tracked with the heart rate monitoring sensors. To calibrate, you need to use a traditional cuff-based blood pressure monitor first. To enable the blood pressure monitoring feature, install the Samsung Health Monitor app on your Galaxy smartphone, connect it to your compatible Galaxy Watch, and set up your profile. Now, the watch that knows your health just got better as it can now help you track your blood pressure and heart rate with its latest update.

Well, that all changes today following a firmware update. However, blood pressure monitoring and ECG weren’t initially available in various countries when the smartwatch was launched. The Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Series is brimming with various health and fitness tracking features, including blood pressure monitoring, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, SpO2 measurement, and stress tracking.
