I for one love the technology these smart watches offer, but for me, the hypertension function will not work since I take a beta blocker for my heart and blood pressure.

I mainly use the heartbeat function in the center of my ultra 3 watch face and love it and the graphic function is awesome. For heart patients like myself, I feel the Apple Watch with the updated heart monitoring features is a game changer.

You might want to try it out anyway if you're curious. My log showed no Stage I or II hypertension alerts, but sure enough I pulled a 132/81 this morning so it will show up on the next report. I take both a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker.

Thanks for the heads up, I will give it a try.
