Apple Watch Syncs With $57 to $130 Blood Pressure Monitors via Health App

Summary
Apple Watch cannot measure blood pressure on its own, but CNET says it can collect readings from compatible wireless cuffs in Apple’s Health app.
Three devices highlighted in the guide are Omron Evolv for $75, Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor for $130 and iHealth Feel for $57, all syncing over Bluetooth through companion apps.
The setup is pitched as a way to track readings between doctor visits rather than replace checkups, giving users and physicians a longer record of blood pressure data.
Almost half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, and the guide also points users to Apple Watch features such as step counts, heart-rate tracking and workout logging to support blood-pressure control through exercise.
