Fitness Tracker w/ Blood Pressure Monitoring

[kevwun 16437]

Is there a good fitness tracker that can also somewhat accurately measures blood pressure in addition to heart rate?  From some interneting, it seems the reviews for the devices that also measure blood pressure are very mixed.

Can't imagine there's anything other than the biceps cuff-type blood pressure devices that are worth a shit. Even the ones that go on the wrist and you hold up against your chest are supposedly wildly inaccurate according to my PCP.

That is what I am afraid of.  I am supposed to find one as a retirement present for someone and I'm not sure that what they want actually exists.

There are companies that have BPMs and fitness trackers separately that have Bluetooth and feed to a common app. Probably the best you can do. Check out ihealth.

Just give them a fleshlight and tell them it is a new age method to check blood pressure.
hilarity ensues

Thanks, it's got a separate chest strap though and he just wants a watch.  I think we are going to end up getting him a fitbit.
