currently we can input weight, but I would really like to manually enter my blood pressure readings.

is something you guys can add?
  • 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. Also, I've found making a phone call to support to be effective.

    Any news on this basic feature?

    I asked for this many months ago and the response made me feel I wish I had bought an Apple watch 

  • I agree with all here.  Please Garmin - give us this in Connect.  It can (and should) be a simple data entry field.  Your only responsibility is to maintain it.  From our perspective, we would then have all our tracked health information in one place.

    To those wanting to do this - I use notes in the Calendar.  My subject is BP 120/80 65 8:55a.  I can see the information when I hover over the note.  I'd like better - but it works. 

  • 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 in my Dashboard.

    We can only hope that Garmin enables blood pressure field somewhere in its available metrics.

    I love this idea and am switching to it.  Thank You!!

    Garmin - this would be so simple.  Click on a calendar day, add note - weight - event - or blood pressure.  So simple. 

  • HI there! I am happy to create a feature request for you! I can not make any promises on any changes but I will get this created! 

  • 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.

  • Hi just wondering if there is any update or an option to allow manual data entry on connect?

  • Hello, there is not, I apologize. Any time we put in a feature request, there is not a guarantee the changes will be implemented.
