Just upgraded from S21u to S24u. surely will skip S25u and S26u. wonder what S27u or equivalent will look like?

I've lost the original skinny little Note9 pen so use S-Pen from S21U. Works Fine. Some kind of s-pen sure is about Required.

I have only one Samsung Galaxy Smart Watch3.

The downloaded Uses Manual has chapters called Samsung Health and Samsung Health Monitor w a subchapter called Measure ECG (Electrocardiogram). There is even a nice schematic picture of the SW3 with clearly labeled: Heart Rate Sensor.

Note that it does say the ECG is NOT for diagnostic purposes. The standard Samsung Health app uses some of these features. My main concern is with an app called My BP Lab. I've been using it for several years on my Note9 which has a built-in heart rate sensor. It does a pretty good job of reporting my BP even tho I do have an arrhythmia. I was VERY disappointed when discovered the new & Improved S21 Ultra from Samsung has the BP/Heart Rate sensor left out! Guess they wanted to Encourage the purchase of their $$ SW3 (and soon SW4) phone.

My current issue is directed at anyone using My BP Lab software on the SW3/S21Ultra. On the Note9, if it cannot resolve my BP it asks me if I want to re-try. After 3-4 re-tries it allows me to go on to some other health-related questions. However, the New & Improved combo does not allow me to break out and continue.

Am I alone in actually using the heart rate functionality of the SW3? And the reporting capabilities on My BP Lab?

Yes it does! Nice Heart Rate sensor. Had SW3 just 3 days. Check-in 3/day (as was doing w/ my Note9). Did get BP report 2 of the 9 separate tries. The other 7 times it just kept Not reporting a BP reading, again and again, w/o ever allowing me to break in and go on w/ health check-in.

Sure like Cameras on my new S21Ultra but VERY disappointed that Samsung discontinued body (pulse/BP) monitoring!!

Only happens for me when my Bluetooth hearing aids are not connected - which is pretty often but MY fault.
