Blood pressure and wear os - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi everyone...
Wondering anyone left wear os and got samsung galaxy watch ? I have the Huwaie 2 and saw the galaxy active has blood pressure but didn't like the design cos if I hit it there is nothing to protect it. Love the galaxy watch but wanted to know if it too can measure blood pressure and case not any future updates enable it or it's not capable??
And case it will never get it any advantage to switch?
Thanks a lot all ..

Not blood pressure , only bpm.... to measure blood pressure GW needs another type of sensor....which is too big for a watch

!
The samsung galaxy active has blood presure and the galaxy s10 and s10 plus have them too...
Was wondering if galaxy watch has it too or only active !

Only the Galaxy Active. The hardware wouldn't be there on the Galaxy watch.

Does Note 2 S-Pen work with Galaxy Tab S?

I don't want to buy note 10.1 because of its screen. Tab S has an AMOLED screen which offer amazing visual effect but I also like S-Pen. So I am thinking of if my note 2 spen could work for Tab S.

no it does not.
That is tab s is a junk, only good for media consumption but not production.

Wait for something better in the future, I'm sure Sammy will give us a real tablet. A tablet with amoled and wacom stylus.
In the meantime get the surface pro 3
I think surface pro 3 is much better than galaxy tab s but it's more expensive.

Smart watch for my s8+

Does any of you know any good ones. I was leaning towards the s3 frontier and the gear sport. I want it to handle a little rough day to day use. Water resistance is good. I will mostly use it while working and attending classes. Thank you
@SlowNicoFish
I have the Gear S3 Frontier, i use it basically everyday to keep stats on the distance, heart rate, notifications. It works perfectly i have to say i am charging it everyday for 2 hours so when i come to home put it on the charger make dinner eat watch some tv and when finished it's already fully charged go to the gym and sleep with it. ( on stand alone it can stay on for 2/3 days depends on brightness which watch face you use etc.
But i do recommend it, do to its design it looks like a watch instead of the iWatch or the gear sport but its all personal taste. i love collecting watches like from every brand but since i have the gear s3 frontier i stopped collecting and only used this one and occasional change the watch face if i get bored
Don't buy gear sport
I was using the AMazfit Cor for 299 RMB, but just a band. I was using it and I liked it because I could swim with it and it . would count my strokes as steps. However, I absolutely smashed it, while playing cricket (like baseball) when I dived for a ball.
I really want to get the Amazfit智能运动手表2
However, it costs 999 RMB.

Why not?
I have this and absolutely love it...I had the Gear S3 Frontier before but it let water in and now I can swim with the new Gear Sport and am absolutely living it. Plus it comes with Tizen 3.0 which is an amazing Watch OS compared to Wear OS...

wear os is far more compatible with android than tizen os
and samsung is also going to use wear os for their watches as they said so
Sure sounds that way on the surface...theoretically, but in real life settings I still wanna know what in your opinion WearOS does that TizenOS can't do in terms or "more compatibility"...I have a WearOS device (LG) and a TizenOS device (Gear Sport) and I can tell you now both are compatible with all my apps without a hitch at all....In fact I find that Samsung Health (even has dedicated Swim feature) beats Google Fit hands down...
I also use an app called Watchmaker on both and for TizenOS it requires a companion app to be installed on the device...still works without a cinch...

Can GW support BP monitoring?

The hardware of GW and GW active should be the same. So, will GW able to measure blood pressure?

I read the samsung community forum, someone mentioned that their sensors are the same. And the demo for BP measurement was done on GW 42mm previously by the study team.

galaxy watch dosen't have a blood pressure sensor. its a know fact. it was only added on the recent addition of the active model.
this article about mid way states that the regular GW dosent have it where as the GW active does:
https://www.techradar.com/news/samsung-galaxy-watch-active-vs-samsung-galaxy-watch
this article boasts the new BP sensor as being a new addition on the yet to be released at the time galaxy watch active:
https://newatlas.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-active/58619/
and as an owner of the galaxy watch i confirm that it does in fact NOT have BP.

Both articles didn't mention a seperate sensor for bp monitoring. In fact, the official page for both watches show same number of sensors.
The BP monitoring most likely make use of the HR sensor with some calculation algorithms to get the BP reading.
Anyway, the feature is not available to all GW active yet. So it is normal won't available to GW for now. But I think GW might able to access the app in future.
And the HR monitor is very inaccurate anyway.
As a sufferer of high blood pressure I can tell you that a NO watch or any other wrist based device can provide accurate or reliable BP readings.
It is a known fact that wrist based BP cuff devices consistently provide inaccurate readings, however they are allowed to be sold on the basis of providing a disclaimer that informs the user of the device's inaccuracy.
Even devices that use a proper cuff on the upper arm can vary wildly in their accuracy however I guess as long as the user is informed and knows that the blood pressure readings from a watch are in no way an accurate representation of their actual blood pressure then everything is fine.

I agree. The readings I get off my Galaxy phone are quite a bit higher than my cuff. I take my BP daily and every six months I carry my unit with me for my checkups so I can match it with the doctor's. It's usually consistent and close but I'd never trust anything that sits on my wrist.
There is no such thing as "blood pressure sensor" on the Active. The My BP Lab app use the HR monitor on the watch to estimate the blood pressure... so the GW could do it too.
You can actually install the same app on your phone if you're in US and use it with the S9, Note 9 and S10 series.
Can confirm that the my BP app is working on my s9. I've been looking for a way to sideload it on to the galaxy watch, just to see if it really can't give an estimation of my BP.

Same issue With BP Machine
I am also facing the same problem with my faulty Omron BP monitor, if anyone can help me step by step then it will be a great help. If I fail to sort this thing then I have to get e new one suggested by this source - top10talks.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

TIL no heart sensor

I mean, Sammy?
It's not that of a deal breaker, but why?
Note is supposed to be superior to any other smartphone, even S9 and s10 had heart rate monitor.

The monitor on the Galaxy watch does and will feed the software on the phone with the results
- R. Kruse Ludington
Galaxy Note 8<-5<-3<-S3<-Nexus; Droid X; HTC HD2<-Touch Pro 2<-Tilt<-8525; O2 XDA II<-XDA; Motorola StarTac
It's not on the S10 5G as well.
The screen more than makes up for it, however.
Get the Galaxy Watch.
Other things that are missing on current flagships:
UV sensor
Humidity sensor
Blood Oxygen sensor
Radiation sensor (for dosimeter function)
Earthquake detector
IR blaster
Stress detector (scream, stress in voice)
Smoke detector
Fart detector
Lightning detector
Anemometer
Lie detector
Ok some of those aren't real but we can try.
Fart detector is an excellent idea, with dynamic direction analysis (to see who it really was)
Thry can bring the price of the phone down.
Also most have a watch by now. So its kinda redundant to have it on the phone also.
And a watch keeps better track
Not many people using HR sensor on phone. Galaxy watch works better as it able to continuously monitor HR, phone can't do that.
There are apps that able to count HR by using the flash and camera combination.
I like HR sensor on my gs10 plus and use regularly. Sam removed it 2 sell more watches I don't like wearing
Unfortunately well have to learn to check our own pulse like back in the old days.

By "Galaxy Watch 2", do you actually mean "Galaxy Watch Active 2"? AFAIK, there is no Galaxy Watch 2.
Yes, Indeed. I even didn't notice. However, my opinion is that they are nothing special though, but it's nice to have more official watch faces. Very clean and minimalistic.
IMHO, it's avaliable the coolest one
