How it works: The BP monitoring process involves downloading the app on both the Galaxy Watch and smartphone, calibrating the watch, and measuring blood pressure. The ECG reading requires pairing the watch with a smartphone, wearing the watch snugly, and using the app to record the ECG. The data is then synced to the smartphone, where a detailed report is generated.

These health-tracking features aim to support users in maintaining their fitness routines and keeping up with regular health check-ups. The Galaxy Watch6 Series, known for its comprehensive health offerings and sleek design, starts at ₹23,999 according to Samsung’s official website.
