I'm SO FREAKING MAD and need to vent! I completely fell into a false marketing trap!
I spent months searching for a new smartwatch/Fitnesstracker and I thought I finally found one that fills my needs and has a dainty design that fits my small wrists. (Most of these watches are huge and I don't like that)... and there were even cute options to exchange the wristband for this one. I thought I found the perfect watch for me
Today the thing finally arrived and I was so excited! Well turns out the thing can't measure & track indirect blood pressure, WHICH IS THE MAIN REASON I NEED A TRACKER. But it was advertised with a feature for Blood pressure tracking. It does have that but you have to measure with another device the watch just reminds you to do it...THIS IS GARBAGE, becaue it can measure blood oxygen and heart rate and these things are measured with the SAME friggin sensor tech at the SAME wavelenght!!! They were just too lazy to programm the conversion mode into the app.
And YES I know the blood pressure function of these watches are not comparable to proper measurement with a pressure manchette. But it can give me a rough idea of the blood pressure throughout the day when I can't sit down with a pressure manchette and that is what I need. For accurate measurements I do have an accurate device.
No now I have to start my search all over again! All the Smartwatches that still have the indirect bloodpressure tracking are just huge and ugly....This really ruined my day!
