Smart hours in the modern world do not surprise anyone. Among the sets of functions are sufficiently popular is the measurement of arterial pressure.
It is far from all models. The problem is that opinions about this feature are different - it does not have to doubt it, but not every smart watches with measuring arterial pressure performed correctly. And even those manufacturers who were able to achieve high accuracy do not recommend using their devices for medical purposes. With this, according to the community of doctors. The rating of smart watches with a tonometer will tell about the most interesting models on the market in the first half of 2021.
The principle of the tonometer in hours
, in contrast to professional tonometers, smart watches with this function are not used to measure the impact of the heart. For these purposes, the device is equipped with software that, based on the heart rate and the velocity rate of the pulse wave according to the vessels, calculates and gives average. In addition, to obtain the most accurate indicators to the device, you must enter user data - gender, age, weight and growth.
In order for the clock to be able to show the pressure as correctly correctly, it is not recommended to perform measurements after meals, tea, coffee, energy drinks. Also at the time of measurement, manufacturers recommend to users sit and place a brush with a clock at the chest level. Spear and strain the muscles at this moment is also not worth it.
When buying it is extremely important to take into account the fact that the sensors work most accurately if the device is tightly adjacent to the hand, does not hang on the wrist, but also does not squeeze it.
To obtain accurate data, it is recommended to carry out measurements three times through short equal intervals.

SAMSUNG GALAXY Watch 3
- Display: 1.34 inches, 360 * 360, Super AMOLED
- Battery: 340 mAh
- Waterproofing: IP68
Despite the fact that in our country Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 officially do not officially support blood pressure and ECG measurement, access to this function same possible. To do this, the user will have to independently install a third-party application Samsung Health Monitor. However, it is worth noting one important point that it works only with Samsung smartphones. Therefore, if you have a smartphone of this brand and you need a watch with the possibility of measuring hell, better Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 is difficult to find something.
In order to start using a tonometer, you need to calibrate the clock. The measurement error is insignificant-only a few units. The application on the smartphone displays the history of all measurements. The function does not work in the background, so you can only check the pressure manually.
Blood pressure is measured by a green photodiode located on the back of the case. The wider the vessel, the more green light is absorbed. Accordingly, with a narrowed artery, light is absorbed weaker. The watch analyzes the reflectance of light and determines the volume of blood in the vessels. Thus, blood pressure is calculated.
Among other things, the watch can measure heart rate, blood oxygen levels and stress, sleep and physical activity. The barometer counts the number of floors climbed and measures atmospheric pressure.
A leather strap with stitching and a large juicy display with a rotating bezel give the watch solidity. Protective glass Gorilla Glass DX is resistant to scratches. It is covered with an oleophobic layer, which is less prone to oily fingerprints. If spots do appear, they will be very easy to remove. Excellent anti-reflective properties and the absence of an air gap between the screen glasses make the image readable even in bright sunny weather.
Synchronization with a mobile device is possible thanks to the Bluetooth 5.1 module, and you can receive calls without a smartphone at all. To do this, however, you will need to connect to a Wi-Fi network. You can accept or reject incoming calls with simple gestures. Of the 8 GB of internal memory, about 5 GB is available to the user to save music and other files.

Omron HeartGuide
- Display: memory-in-pixel LCD
- Battery: up to 4 days of battery life works
- Waterproof: no
Omron is known for bringing blood pressure monitors to the market. OMRON HeartGuide watches were developed by the manufacturer as a full-fledged replacement of a cuff tonometer. It is worth noting that the accuracy of measuring blood pressure using the device is not inferior to the accuracy of classical medical devices.
besides hell, hours can track the number of steps covered, pulse and burned calories. There is also a sleep tracker and smart alarm clock. The device tracks all your real-time figures and sends them to a mobile application. If one of them is above the norm, an appropriate notification will appear in the application.

HERZBAND ELEGANCE ECG
- Display: 1.22 inches, 240 * 240, IPS
- Battery: 160 Mach
- Waterproof: IP67
ELEGANCE ECG-Another budget model from Mobile manufacturer Electronics Herzband. Despite the small cost, the clock ensures the accuracy of measuring blood pressure at a sufficiently high level. The error varies within 10% of the normal indicators.
In order for the measurement of the blood pressure to be more accurate, the clock must be fixed on the inside of the wrist. Measurement data is displayed on the device, but not synchronized with the H BAND application. To save the hell in the phone, you need to run the measurement function directly from it.
At the same time, the pulse indicators coincide with the measurements of automatic tonometers. It is worth noting that the model is deceiving in the calculations of the distance traveled and the number of steps. But if you need a smart watch to assess the cardiac rhythm and pressure-This device will suit you. In addition to hell and pulse, the clock is able to display the ECG schedule, the HRV index and evaluate the quality of sleep.
The model has less autonomy (approximately 5-7 days of active use without recharging) in comparison with a more advanced version of HERZBAND Classic. Below here is the class of protection against moisture, so it is not recommended to use them for active sessions.
Durable metal case looks perfectly on hand, and the silicone hypoallergenic strap is practically not felt. Medium-sized clock, so suitable for any hand.

Apple Watch Series 6 GPS
- Display: 1.78 inches, 368 * 448, OLED
- Battery: up to 18 hours of active use
- Waterproof: 5 atm
The most professional clock for monitoring the state of health. Although the device does not support the function of measuring blood pressure, it can easily determine the signs of fliccious arrhythmia, which can lead to a heart attack. That is why we included Apple Watch 6 to our review.
For this purpose, the clock is provided by the Digital Crown wheel with a tactile response, which is displayed on the screen. With long holding a finger on it, electrical signals are read in the heart. After a 30-second measurement, the character of the heart rhythm will be determined: sinus, flickering arrhythmia or high / low pulse. The user can save the results in PDF format and send the file to your doctor.
In addition, Apple Watch supports heart rate monitoring feature. If within 65 minutes by 5 checks, 1 case of irregular heartbeat will have 1, the device will display the appropriate notification. After that, the clock will offer the user to make ECG. An optical sensor determines the flicker arrhythmia with a probability of 98.3%.
The results of all measurements are saved on the device and in the health application. ECG and Digital Crown Wheel Function Available in Apple Watch Series 4, 5, 6, 6, 6 GPS and SE models.
Apple has repeatedly obtained patents for the development of full-fledged implementation of the function of measuring blood pressure. This means that developers are engaged in improving this opportunity. It is likely that during the next year, Apple Watch users will be available to this function.

As we saw, it is difficult to find a smart watch on the market today, In which the pressure measurement function worked correctly. There are professional models, like Omron HeartGuide, however, they are unusually expensive. Most of the models given in our selection allow you to find out the level of blood pressure, however, with an error of 10-20%. Therefore, unfortunately, they will not fully replace the professional equipment.
