I've been thinking about getting a smartwatch since they can track heart rate and blood pressure, but I'm a bit skeptical. Do these gadgets actually give accurate readings for heart rate and BP, or should I not rely on them for medical monitoring?

Smartwatches can provide a useful and convenient way to monitor heart rate and blood pressure, but their accuracy can vary. While they can give a general overview, they may not always be as precise as medical-grade equipment. It's best to use them as a supplementary tool rather than a primary source for critical health decisions. For accurate and reliable blood pressure and heart rate measurements, it's important to use validated medical devices and consult with your healthcare provider.
