I strongly recommend it. There are many useful measures so far. A prestigious company with high techs of tracking like Garmint should definately grasp its advantage to go a bit further to take on BP measurement becoming its feature, giving the fact that high blood pressure so prevailing in modern world and having BP checked regularly to prevent cardio-vesticular related diseases is strongly recommended by doctors.
Some might argue that Garmin is for fitness watches not for medical purposes. Personally I consider a comment like this down plays the importance of blood pressure on fitness as well as the potential market might have for Garmin to develop. Sincerely hoping that measuring BP would be incorporated into Garmin watch features array
Yes needs manual input, can't be hard to do. One common reason for people embarking on fitness programmes is after advice from doctors regarding their blood pressure.
My Withings watch had it and they have one programmer and their dog in the development team.
Using Samsung Health for it at the moment but it would be better if all was in one place.
