Blood pressure, no cuff

The watch passively watches pulse and motion for weeks. Wear it at least 5 days a week for a monthly summary.

03 / 05

Insulin resistance trends

No blood work needed. It needs 7 days of data a month and was trained on over 1 trillion minutes of data.

04 / 05

Pixel vs Galaxy Watch

Samsung measures on demand but needs monthly cuff calibration. Google needs no cuff but gives trends, not readings.

05 / 05

Treat it as a nudge

It is for wellness, not diagnosis. A worrying trend is a reason to book a checkup. First reports arrive in October.
