This video shows you how to calibrate your Galaxy Watch 3 or 4, and also tests the Galaxy Watch 3 against the Omron M3 Automatic BP monitoring device.

To recalibrate the watch:

Note on BP readings: Some people believe that the BP readings on this device are misleading or not true. The watch has smart sensors that can measure your blood pressure through pulse wave analysis as you wear it. To ensure accuracy, users should calibrate their device at least once every four weeks. Users should measure their blood pressure when at rest, as they would do with a traditional cuff, and refrain from measuring when they are working out, smoking, or drinking.

How to turn on the calibration app?

@KenpoOjoko Жыл бұрын

To measure accurate BP, you need to be still. Your motion right after the Omron gave you a reading -- picking up your phone and entering the numbers -- must have changed your actual BP somewhat. You may want to have your phone close to you, so you can enter the numbers with a minimum body movement.

Can I reset the watch for recalibration? I wanted to use a more accurate blood pressure monitor, and I don't see a reset option anywhere. I don't think you need to do a factory reset on the watch? I just want to go back to pressure calibration.

@WYSbyAdamLash Жыл бұрын

Of course, you can. Simply fire up Samsung Health, tap on the three dots on the upper right corner of the screen and tap recalibrate.

how accurate is the reading...? use on Hypertensive patient if possible

@WYSbyAdamLash 2 жыл бұрын

I'd say the reading is about maximum +- 10 mm Hg, give or take. It depends on the device you calibrate it with. Make sure you calibrate it correctly.

The main reason I bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 was to have the blood pressure test. After trying to figure out how to find it in my watch, I finally called Samsung who told me it isn't available in the US. I was bummed. A man at my computer club had 6 different watches with blood pressure monitoring, 3 on each wrist. He couldn't tell me what brand the watches were, but he said they all had them that worked. Is there an app that I can add to my Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to use, aside from the Samsung app which isn't approved?

@WYSbyAdamLash Жыл бұрын

I am sorry to hear about that. Many people complained about the unavailability of the BB monitoring function on the watch, but that's because Samsung couldn't get the FDA's approval. As for workarounds, I am unaware of any. Perhaps you can try other options out there that are FDA approved in the US.

174 is very high (Stage 2) and is close to a Hypertensive Crisis (close to 180). I suggest u go to the hospital first, get yourself checked out, and then try doing the calibration there at the hospital or clinic. The nurse will usually allow u to do that if you ask them nicely to calibrate your watch. Good luck 👍🏻

I have the Galaxy 5 watch pro and you said it perfectly. It depends on which armor goes on. I think this method is not really that accurate when it comes to calibration. The reason why is because you're taking your blood pressure on one side and calibrating on the other.. My arms very a good amount My left arm is probably a little bit higher than my right. Supposed to be doing it in your left arm. I wonder if there's a better way to do it to calibrate.. I don't know why I can't just keep them both on the same arm and do it.

I've tried on same hand and different hand and the measurement on the watch is not accurate at all for someone with high blood pressure. It's basically useless and same as the Chinese fake brands that don't measure anything. The watch only gives measurements of what it was calibrated to read, it doesn't go up or down with your blood pressure as it does with an arm cuff blood pressure monitor. Samsung watch is not worth the money at all. The disclaimer about it not to be used as a medical reading, is just a way of saying, it measures blood pressure, but don't take the measurement for its reading, go and confirm on an arm cuff blood pressure monitor, which is BS to me. Until samsung is able to make the watches read blood pressure without any sort of calibration, just like an arm cuff blood pressure monitor, then don't waste your money to buy these, they are worthless.

@WYSbyAdamLash Жыл бұрын

@Emmy I disagree. You are entitled to your opinion, but calling the Galaxy Watch "Chinese Fake Brands" insults both Samsung and legit Chinese products such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Try this before judging: Go for HIIT workouts and get your heart pumping. Wait 5 minutes for your heart rate to go down, and take a BB measurement on your watch. You will notice your BB will rise drastically (I tested it once, mine was 145, and I don't have hypertension). This is normal since intense exercise temporarily elevates your BP. If your BP does not increase after strenuous exercise, something may be wrong with your watch. Send it for service or update your watch and get the Watch 5.

@WYSbyAdamLash Жыл бұрын

@Emmy @Emmy The watch can at least alert you for abnormally high or low readings. If your readings are abnormally high or low and feel some unusual physical symptoms, contact a nearby hospital immediately for proper medical attention. Measure at least 2 more times again if you are judged not to be in an emergency

The American guidelines are stricter than the others based on research. However, always consult with your doctor before making any medical decisions. Here is also a video that can give you some peace of mind if you have a structurally healthy heart. It is always a good idea to try to lower your blood pressure at least to the 130 to 140 range for systolic.

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. The watch can alert you to large increases or decreases in blood pressure. I had tested it multiple times, and the accuracy can vary up to 10 or even 15 mmHg, which is NOT bad at all. If you consistently get lower readings, you can mentally calibrate it by adding 10 mmHg. For instance, if your watch says 127, then mentally add 10, and it's 137. This is a very conservative estimate. Sometimes I also get differences of up to 10 mmHg
