Blood pressure readings

[Dee76]

I do not understand the need to calibrate the watch against a blood pressure machine each month.  

On doing so the watch is giving me readings around the readings I've entered into the app. It's way off the mark now as my pressure has dropped as per the machine but my watch 7 keeps showing me readings I've entered in the app earlier. 

I've lost trust in this watch. I wish I hadn't bought it.

Hi and welcome, it's just a method to keep it calibrated, yes it can get annoying, but I got used to it and find it's not far off my Omron M10 IT BP machine.

For example, if I use my watch or BP machine for 3 measurements all 3 vary, the BP Machine even has an auto average of 3 reading function.

Use the watch as a directional trend.

Hi @Dee76  The watch needs to be recalibrated to ensure accuracy and unfortunately will not take Blood Pressure Readings without doing so. The readings should vary but it is not a medical  device.  It is recommended not to exercise  or  take caffine /alcohol  30 minutes beforehand.

The watch should be snug on your  wrist with the wrist position constant, whilst measuring.

Yeah. It seems to be giving a reading similar to what I have entered during calibration. It's way off now against the machine. It's like it is only giving what it thinks your usual BP is.
