Can the Google Pixel Watch Measure Blood Pressure? – How to Fix It

by

The Google Pixel Watch does not have a built-in blood pressure sensor. However, there are alternative ways to track blood pressure using external devices and third-party apps.

Use a Compatible Blood Pressure Monitor

Connect a Bluetooth Blood Pressure Monitor
  1. Purchase a Bluetooth-enabled blood pressure monitor such as Omron, Withings, or QardioArm.
  2. Install the companion app for the monitor from the Google Play Store.
  3. Pair the monitor with your Google Pixel Watch or phone via Bluetooth.
  4. Take a reading with the monitor, and sync the data to your watch.

Use Fitbit Integration for Blood Pressure Tracking

Since the Pixel Watch uses Fitbit health tracking, you can sync external blood pressure readings to Fitbit.

Log Blood Pressure Manually in Fitbit
  1. Open the Fitbit app on your Pixel Watch or phone.
  2. Go to Health Metrics > Blood Pressure.
  3. Manually enter readings from a home blood pressure monitor.
  4. Track trends over time.

Check for Future Blood Pressure Features

Google has acquired Fitbit, which is working on blood pressure tracking technology. Future updates may include:

  • Passive blood pressure monitoring without a cuff.
  • Fitbit Labs research programs for wrist-based blood pressure estimation.

For now, the best way to measure blood pressure with a Google Pixel Watch is to use a compatible Bluetooth blood pressure monitor and sync the data through third-party apps.
