Agreed manual input of Blood Pressure would be useful

Garmin employees rarely respond in these forums. As best I can tell the forums are for user-to-user discussion and not a way to interact with the company. Garmin provides this form for making suggestions…

That's a good suggestion. I went one further and enter my blood pressure information as an Event in itself. (I don't take measurements so often.) This way, they appear as a colour band in my Calendar widget…

The fitbit web site allows you to log blood pressure and blood glucose levels. Given the aging of the population, you're giving your competition a major advantage. Right now I'm using Garmin Connect because I like the device better. But it's not that much better, and it wouldn't be that difficult for FitBit (for example) to improve their devices to be equivalent. Once the devices are identical, the web site will be the differentiating element. And there you are currently behind.

I am still trying to figure out how to input weight and such.

You can enter weight by going back to Classic View. Once there, click on Analyze | Health. This brings you to your Weight screen. Click on the Manual Input button.

I really miss blood pressure too. Other health data such as waist circumference and body fat percent would be very useful as well.

If we can vote - I also would like to be able to add Blood Pressure measurements!

Completely agree with the comments in this thread: I want to keep blood pressure records together with other health records.

Garmin, please address this concern soon.

Has Garmin ever replied?

I'd like to add other health data too - I used Microsoft Health and Health Vault and loved the idea of having health data integrating with my doctor's data. With my Microsoft Band, there was brilliant integration (and with Windows Phone) but this is all being lost as Microsoft gives way to less innovative but much more popular platforms (Android and IOS).

Yeah, I would love to track my bp as I lose weight. This is a giant hole in Connect. I can't believe this thread has been here for years with no action from Garmin.
