Samsung Drops US Galaxy Watch Vascular Load in Late July, Replacing It With Blood Pressure Trend

Summary
Late July will bring the removal of Samsung’s Vascular Load feature from US Galaxy Watches through One UI Watch 9 and Samsung Health 7.0.
Samsung will replace it with Blood Pressure Trend, a feature that requires users to calibrate the watch with a blood pressure cuff before tracking longer-term patterns.
The new tool is slated for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Watch, building on blood pressure tracking that only reached US Galaxy Watches earlier this year and also needs cuff-based recalibration every 28 days.
Samsung has not explained why Vascular Load is being dropped only in the US, leaving regulatory or market-specific rollout decisions as the main apparent possibilities.
