I bought the new galaxy watch 3 late last year only because it was going to have ECG and BP checking.

It's been almost 6 months and we still do not have these options on our watches! 

What is the delay...it has been released in updates in other countries. Why is South Africa still not able to have these features! 

Very disappointed!

Hi monaroth 

 

Please note the South Africa model do not support EGC and BP functionalities, there has not been any communication regarding these updates in South Africa as yet.

Do yourself a favour and search Youtube videos on how to unlock the ECG and Blood Pressure. I watched a video where the guy had links to the APK files needed to unlock and BAM all working, all i still need to do is visit my GP to calibrate the BP function by using his cuff model and readings. You can list whichever cuff and monitor model and then enter 3 readings and save them and then you're good to go.

It's still a pity the Blood Oxygen function won't be available for us in SA!

HI Maps. So we paying full price with the BP and EGC missing that will cause alot of complaints especailly with CPA and other institutions like icasa too you can sell a product without back up apps seriously

Maps you are wrong with the ECG function, mine is working after "hacking" the files installation process from a Youtube video!. Yes i know it sounds dodgy, but it works. Blood pressure set up as well, all i need to do is calibrate my watch using my GP's cuff mldel and respective readings i get

Very disappointed! I literally bought a new galaxy watch 4 classic for its ECG and oxygen functions based on the online adverts by Samsung but never realised these don't work in South Africa. Had I known I would have gone for fitbit!

Please advertise your products correctly as this in extremely inconveniecing.
