Health Record Watch for Mac

[Mikeo512]

Can someone pse suggest a fairly basic health-record watch that will work with an iPhone? Don't need to do anything except have the watch check blood pressure, heart rate and so on.

Just get on Amazon.com and do a search for fitness watches. You'll find a large variety of various wearables from inexpensive to expensive.

I've seen basic wearables for less than $100 and some for more than $300.

I don't know of any wearable that does blood pressure. That measurement requires a pneumatic cuff to read the pressure.

Very true. I have a portable wrist pneumatic cuff which is fairly accurate when comparing it to readings at my doctor's office.

Again, check out Amazon for portable blood pressure monitors. Buy a good one so look for reviews. My monitor was on sale but normally costs around $80.00.

Many thanks for the replies.
Someone did mention (not online) the other day that there are BP devices that you can wear on your wrist that do not require an inflatable cuff.
Will investigate further via Amazon.
