From now through the end of the year, you can save $100 on the YHE BP Doctor Pro, a smartwatch that features an inflatable cuff hidden under the band to deliver accurate blood pressure readings right on a smartwatch display. It is the first smartwatch able to give you your blood pressure right from your wrist. The watch also measures HRV or Heart Rate Variability which measures the variation in time between each heartbeat.

The company says that the device offers medical-grade accuracy and data will be stored offline for seven days. And there are different watch faces that you can choose from. Why would you need this watch? If your blood pressure is chronically high, you might want to monitor it several times a day. But carrying a traditional blood pressure machine to work and everywhere you go is hard to do.
It isn’t clear whether any of the health-related capabilities of the watch have received FDA approval and the watch is not water-resistant which means you might have to keep it covered under your shirt when it is raining outside. And as we previously mentioned, the battery life is too short for someone to consider this their daily driver.
While this is a useful tool for those who need to have an accurate BP reading wherever they are, we do have suggestions for the sequel, if indeed there is one. Fit a larger capacity battery into the timepiece and add GPS capabilities. And by all means, make the second-gen version water-resistant. Too many users will forget to take off their watch before washing dishes, and even washing one’s hands could leak water into the works.
