- SirMaster 3y agoWhat can they add now? Blood pressure would probably be nice, but I imagine it's probably difficult to get accuracy in an apple watch style device.
- kyriakos 3y agoGalaxy watch 4 and later have it
- SirMaster 3y agoOh cool. I hope they add it in the Watch 10 then. Maybe since 9 is such a small change they have been working on a bigger change for the 10.
- rootusrootus 3y agoThere are some caveats to the BP measurement on the Galaxy watch, I'm not too surprised Apple isn't quite ready to implement it with similar requirements. They're probably holding out until it can be an "it just works" feature.
- kyriakos 3y agoYeah it requires calibration using a "traditional" BP monitor before using which means it doesn't just work...
- smartbit 3y agoMeasuring BP with a watch is probably most accurate while lying down, eg during sleep, given yesterday’s Blood pressure should be measured lying down: study https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37471354 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37471354
- theshrike79 3y agoIt always "seems" to be "lack of innovation" when you check the diff from year to year. You, who gets the new device every year, is not the target market. People who upgrade from devices that are falling out of OS support are. For them it's 4-6 "lack of innovation" diffs that sum up to a huge chunk of new stuff and improvements across the board.
