I bought the PULSE smartwatch hoping to have a reliable health monitor on my wrist. I know that very few watches are certified for accurate blood pressure readings, but I was hoping this might be one of them. Unfortunately, I was very wrong.
I’m normally hypotensive, so I tested the watch’s blood pressure feature. It reported 154/92 when my actual reading was 87/47. That’s not a small error—it’s completely inaccurate. It also significantly underreported my heart rate, showing 91 bpm
