These Samsung watches look awesome. Why would you buy a square watch that looks like a toy, when you can buy a smart watch that actually looks stylish like a real watch?

    Whoa! so surprised to know this. Now I'm torn between this or the Apple Watch Series 7. It's great to know that this was given a certification for BP measurement here in the Philippines. Thanks for the notif.!

      No thanks, my low-end Garmin watch lasts 10 days with 3-hour GPS activities every other day and other biometric monitoring always on versus this watch that needs to be charged every end of the day (and that is if you didn't do GPS tracked activities). I'd rather have a functional and convenient watch than a pretty but inconvenient one.

        Here's a wristphone with useless gimmick party tricks, but you'll have to wait a *year, or two, or three to be able to show that trick to your clueless friends.

        *disclaimer: you might never (probably) be able to show it to them

              Received a watch5 with my S23 Ultra and can also use this feature in the Netherlands, so it isn't Philippines exclusief. Also my blood pressure was calibrated, but while measuring it first said 89 and a second measurement said 62, so it isn't very accured.

                It should also work with older Galaxy Watches such as the Watch4

                  They should also give permision to Samsung Watch Acive 2

                    Jesus, thank god for Samsung for this, but ffs, get rid of that requirement so we can use those two features on different phones

                      Even GSMArena confirmed it does not work with any other brand or phone.

                          Pretty surprised that these aren't existing features until today, when some $40 watches offer these features, and even not exclusive to a single brand.

                            Finally! Hopefully it will continue on with their future watches

                              Anonymous, 18 Mar 2023How accurate is it with blood pressure measurement? No smartwatch can measure blood pressure, it's a fact. The watch measures flow of blood which indicates BP but the issue is that the wrist doesn't have any large artery and vein. So don't rely on the accuracy of any smartwatch.

                                      Even with Samsung phone none of those health apps work in India.
                                      Which means they are inaccurate and not to be taken seriously.
                                      I bought watch 4 for 100$ and it's useless. I don't understand how people are buying it for 400$.

Are you talking about the Samsung Health App? Even if you don't have a Samsung phone you can download SAMSUNG HEALTH to connect your Galaxy Watch
