Apple Watch Now Looks For High Blood Pressure in Australia. Here’s What That Means

Now it’s watching for something more serious: long-term signs of high blood pressure. Unlike a traditional blood pressure cuff found at your local GP, the Apple Watch isn’t taking a reading on the spot. Among people with normal blood pressure, it correctly avoided false alerts 95 per cent of the time. So, who should use Apple Watch’s blood pressure feature? You’ll need an Apple Watch Series 9 or later (not available with Apple Watch SE), or an Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, running the latest version of watchOS.
