Samsung provides Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2 with blood pressure monitors and more

Samsung has prepared a new update for two smartwatches. The watches Watch 3 and Active 2 are equipped with the option to make a heart film (ECG) and measure your blood pressure.

Update for Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2

Samsung has previously announced that the functionality of the smartwatch would be expanded with additional health functions. That time has now come, because Samsung has prepared a new update for the Galaxy Watch 3 and Active 2. After the update, it is possible to measure electrocardiograms (ECG), just like to perform a blood pressure measurement. To use the blood pressure monitor, you must follow a step-by-step plan to calibrate the sensors. A real blood pressure monitor is needed for this.

You can use the functionality via the Galaxy Wearable app. However, you must additionally download the Samsung Health Monitor app from ‘Galaxy Apps’. It seems for this reason that it does not work on non-Samsung devices, because Galaxy Apps is not available on other brands.
