Can't do blood pressure calibration on opposite arm

[selena888uk]

Hi,

I was following the instructions for the blood pressure calibration which said when calibrating, wear the cuff on the opposite arm to the one you normally wear your watch on. I wear my watch on my left arm (which is what I put in my profile on the health monitor app) but I can't use the cuff on my right arm due to a medical issue. How should I calibrate, please?

Does it matter if I swap my watch to the other arm even though it's not the one I normally wear it on? Will it make much difference?

Many thanks for any advice!

It asks which arm you have watch on so I guess not , are you intending to leave the watch on the right or swop it back once calibrated ? That might make a difference I suppose

Thanks for the response! I would still wear the watch on my left arm as normal because if possible, I try to keep my right arm clear of stuff for medical reasons. I thought it only asked which arm when setting up so the assumption is that it's the arm you always have the watch on?

I take my watch off when I take my blood pressure and use that arm to take my BP. And it is still pretty accurate when compared to my doctors proper BP. machine. hope that helps.
