To sync Galaxy Watch blood-pressure readings, set up Samsung Health Monitor on a compatible Galaxy Watch and Galaxy phone, calibrate the watch with an upper-arm blood-pressure cuff, then keep the watch connected to the same phone over Bluetooth. Samsung’s setup guidance names Samsung Health Monitor as the phone app where results sync. In the U.S., Samsung also announced blood-pressure tracking in the separate Samsung Health app; availability and the exact app flow can vary by market.
Set up blood-pressure syncing
- Check compatibility and regional availability. Samsung’s U.S. support guidance specifies a Galaxy phone running Android 12 or later and a Galaxy smartwatch running Wear OS 4.0 or later. Its U.S. product page lists Galaxy Watch4 and later, excluding Galaxy Fit. Feature availability depends on local approvals and the region where the device was purchased, so check current Samsung guidance for your country and model before proceeding. Samsung U.S. support: Check your blood pressure using a Galaxy smartwatch; Samsung Health Monitor U.S. feature page.
- Pair and update the devices. Pair the watch with your Galaxy phone over Bluetooth in Galaxy Wearable and install available watch software updates there.
- Set up Samsung Health Monitor. Open Samsung Health Monitor on the watch and follow its prompt to install or open Samsung Health Monitor on the phone. Activate the phone app, accept its terms and privacy policy, and create your profile.
- Calibrate with an upper-arm cuff. You need a cuff-based blood-pressure monitor, sold separately. Take three cuff measurements within 30 minutes and enter them in the app as instructed. Samsung requires recalibration every 28 days.
- Take a watch reading and check the phone. Use Samsung Health Monitor on the watch, keeping Bluetooth connected to the Galaxy phone used for calibration. Samsung says the result syncs to Samsung Health Monitor on that phone.
Which app should show the readings?
Samsung Health Monitor and Samsung Health are separate apps. Samsung’s setup instructions identify Samsung Health Monitor as the destination for watch readings on the phone used for calibration. Samsung’s U.S. announcement dated March 31, 2026, also says U.S. users can view and track blood-pressure readings in Samsung Health. The announcement does not establish that this separate-app flow is available in every market or regional implementation. Check Samsung Health Monitor first; if your local Samsung Health app offers a blood-pressure flow, follow its prompts.

Samsung’s regional availability information says support depends on regulatory approvals or registration and the region where devices were purchased. Its Caribbean page lists some models beyond the U.S. model guidance, including Galaxy Active2 and Galaxy Watch3, and its availability list was marked updated July 28, 2025. Treat that list as dated information, not a guarantee of current availability. Samsung also warns that resetting or reinstalling while traveling in a region where the service is unavailable may affect access. Samsung Caribbean: Samsung Health Monitor.
Calibration and measurement tips
For more consistent measurements, Samsung advises avoiding smoking, bathing, exercise, alcohol, and caffeine for 30 minutes beforehand. Keep your skin dry and free of lotion, sit and rest for five minutes, and remain still and quiet while measuring. Follow the on-screen instructions for your specific supported device and market.

The cuff is not just a one-time setup accessory: it is needed for initial calibration and the recurring 28-day recalibration. The watch provides a convenient follow-up measurement method after calibration, but Samsung’s instructions do not establish that watch readings are clinically equivalent to conventional cuff readings.
If readings do not appear on your phone
- Confirm that Samsung Health Monitor is installed and activated on both the watch and the phone.
- Check that the watch is paired and Bluetooth is connected to the same Galaxy phone used for calibration.
- Make sure the watch has been calibrated and that its 28-day calibration period has not elapsed.
- Check current Samsung guidance for your phone, watch model, software and market. Supported models and regional availability differ.
- Look first in Samsung Health Monitor. Samsung’s U.S. announcement describes additional tracking in Samsung Health, but that flow may not be offered in every market.
Use readings as wellness information
Samsung says the blood-pressure function is not intended to diagnose disease or other conditions, or to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease. Do not make clinical decisions based on the readings without consulting a qualified healthcare professional. Ask a healthcare professional about readings or health decisions.
