When will the Apple Watch be able to monitor blood pressure and blood oxygen? I have a device which cost under $30 which is able to monitor blood pressure & blood oxygen which is fair close to my readings. It would seem with all of Apples technology it could monitor blood pressure & blood oxygen levels.

Apple Watch Series 8
Blood oxygen is catered for on the Watch series 8, but maybe not in your country.
Blood pressure readings are notoriously difficult to measure by LED light accurately and they are not ready. how close are your $30 watch readings in a side by side comparison?
Using my OMRON wrist blood pressure monitor and my cheap $30 device is not too far off. Pulse is always the same or 1 different. Just wondering how a cheaper device can have blood pressure monitoring when the Apple Watch is not. I thought Apple was working on getting a blood pressure sensor and wanted to know when it might be coming.
I’m not upgrading my current Apple Watch because it still has the blood oxygen sensor which the newer models do not because of some sort of legal issue.
I understand the Apple Watch is not a medical device but it’s nice to know when I should check my levels using a medical device. That is why I’m using the $30 cheaper one to monitor my blood pressure along with my Apple Watch. The blood oxygen on the cheaper one is fairly close too.
Hope this helps
