• 30 minutes before doing the calibration, do not have any alcohol or caffeine, and do not smoke,
exercise, or bathe.
• Make sure your arm and wrist are dry and free of excessive perspiration or skin lotion.
• Do the calibration indoors in a quiet place.
• Put a comfortable chair next to a table.
• Sit in the chair with your back well-supported, your legs uncrossed, and your feet flat on the ground.
• Let your hands and forearms rest on the table.
• Rest in this position for at least 5 minutes before starting the calibration.
• When you start the calibration, stay still and do not move your arm or talk while the cuff-based blood
pressure monitor performs the measurement.
• During the measurement, breathe normally. Do not try to deepen or slow down your breath.
To calibrate your Galaxy Watch:
1. Place the blood pressure cuff on an upper arm.
2. Wear the Samsung Galaxy Watch on the wrist of the other arm. Make sure the Galaxy Watch strap
is snug around your wrist, but not too tight.
3. Place your Galaxy phone on the table, within easy reach.
4. On your Galaxy phone, open the Samsung Health Monitor app and press the Blood Pressure and
follow the onscreen instructions to do the following:
1. Start the blood pressure measurement on the cuff-based blood pressure monitor.
2. Measurement on the Galaxy Watch will begin automatically.
3. Enter the cuff-based blood pressure monitor reading in the phone BP App.
4. Repeat Steps a.-c. two more times (for a total of three measurements) to finish the Galaxy
Watch calibration.
Note: Make sure that you finish all measurements required for calibration within 30 minutes of completing
the first calibration measurement. To keep your Galaxy Watch properly calibrated, you must calibrate it every
28 days, as directed by the BP App. You may also calibrate your Galaxy Watch any time before then by
selecting Recalibrate from the menu on the Blood Pressure History screen.
5.2 Measuring Your Blood Pressure Using Your Galaxy Watch
After you have calibrated your Galaxy Watch with the upper-arm, cuff-based blood pressure monitor, you are
ready to use the BP App on your Galaxy Watch to measure your blood pressure. You will not need to use the
cuff-based monitor again until the next calibration in 28 days.
Note: After you calibrate your Galaxy Watch, you do not need to use the cuff-based monitor when you use
the BP App on your Galaxy Watch to take your blood pressure.
To ensure a more accurate BP measurement, do the following:
• Wear your Galaxy Watch on the same wrist as during the calibration and make sure the Galaxy
Watch strap is snug around your wrist, but not too tight.
• 30 minutes before doing the measurement, do not have any alcohol or caffeine, and do not smoke,
exercise, or bathe.
• Make sure your arm and wrist are dry and free of excessive perspiration or skin lotion.
• Do the measurement indoors in a quiet place.
• Put a comfortable chair next to a table.
• Sit in the chair with your back well-supported, your legs uncrossed, and your feet flat on the ground.
• Let your hands and forearms rest on the table.
