Samsung Gear Watch 3 - ECG/BP UK - 22nd Feb 2021

[Obsydian]

So another promised date from Samsung is here, one of many that have come and gone for the current and prior generation watches and other functions.

Anyone received the ECG/BP/Sleep Apnea updates?

[MadalinK]

Yes I am in the UK using an unlocked N20U

[Lukasz]

do I need to calibrate it with standard blood pressure monitor?

[Adibordoy]

yep

[Wightknight]

Have you checked software updates in the Wearables app?

The app is called Samsung Health Monitor. I clicked on the blood pressure widget in the watch and it took me straight to the Samsung store, downloading it now.

Have you searched for it manually?

[Obsydian]

no sleep apnea function

Watch 3 downloaded but nothing for the Active2

BP after careful calibration is way out

In the background your BP monitor has almost exactly the same as your watch ?   149 / 84.   It looks pretty close to me.  

I have done the calibrations myself over three measurements, and then done a couple of measurements this afternoon and the results are spot on.   I have also done a couple of ECG tests... again the results look similar.    I am fairly conversant with my ECG plots as I have a heart condition and have had some 8-10 ECG measurements done by my cardiologist over the past year or so.  Below are a couple of my screenshots.  I am liking this new functionality, and it seems to work quite well in my first testing today...
