Hi everyone, I am looking for a smartwatch that offers continuous monitoring of my heart rate and preferably other vitals (Blood oxygen, blood pressure) as well.
I have been looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but I cannot find if it offers continuous monitoring functionality.
Can anyone give some insight, or maybe share their experience with a smartwatch that offers this functionality.
The Pixel Watch doesn’t do all that continuously, but it does constantly measure your heart rate.
Thanks, ill read up on that.
Although I don’t know how i feel about google products.
Everything they do seems lacking for some reason.I use both a Pixel and an iPhone. I have almost everything from both ecosystems. I honestly prefer my Pixel Watch over my Apple Watch.
I have the Galaxy Watch 4 and I like it. Here’s a screenshot of the heart rate settings. On my current setting, it monitors continuously while exercising (including a long walk) and every 10mins while still.
It can also monitor blood oxygen continuously, but only during sleep (presumably to check for sleep apnea). While awake, you can take a manual blood oxygen measurement
OH nice, thanks that makes that clear. how does the phone determine “still” do you know?
It seems like “still” means whenever it’s not tracking an exercise. But exercise includes walking more than a few minutes. It automatically records when I walk a lap around my office during break, so that’s enough to trigger it
I have a Fitbit sense, it has a blood oxygen estimation but not constant, doesn’t really do blood pressure.
If you are just looking for those metrics then it doesn’t do a bad job, basically a lifestyle tracker. If you are looking at it from a sports perspective I’d recommend a Garmin over a Fitbit.
I don’t have any experience with any others though.
The sense 2 does look interesting. The garmin devices are very pricey
