The ECG function lets users check their heart rhythm directly from their wrist. It can detect signs of atrial fibrillation, a common type of irregular heartbeat. The blood pressure feature works with a calibration process using a traditional cuff. After setup, users can track their readings over time through the Samsung Health Monitor app.
Both tools are designed to help people stay aware of their cardiovascular health. They are not meant to replace medical advice or diagnosis. Samsung worked closely with health regulators to ensure the features meet safety and accuracy standards. The updates are available on recent Galaxy Watch models, including the Watch 4 and newer versions.
Users must download the Samsung Health Monitor app from the Galaxy Store. They also need a compatible smartphone running the latest version of One UI. Setup includes a one-time calibration for blood pressure and a quick registration for ECG use. Once ready, measurements take just seconds.
