I shelled out almost $600 for an Iwatch 6 last year because I developed A-fib due to high blood pressure from sleep apnea. Under control now, but I need to monitor blood pressure and sleep. Sounds like I should’ve waited a year for the Iwatch 7. Feeling a little bit ripped off, can’t afford to spend that kind of money again.
Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 8
Apple Watch 7 does not, nor can it monitor blood pressure. There is no watch made by any company which can monitor blood pressure. I'm not aware that the sleep app on Apple Watch 7 does anything more than the same app on Apple Watch 6. If these are the two features you think you're missing out on with Apple Watch 7, I don't think you'll find anything different between the two watches on these services at all.

And there is no glucose monitor or blood alcohol monitor on Apple Watch 7. Far be it from me to discourage an upgrade here, but none of the features you thought you don't have on your current 6, don't exist on a 7.
I wouldn't trust it. There's a reason when you go to the Doctors office they put a cuff on you and that's so the cuff can inflate above systolic blood pressure, briefly stopping all blood flow, but deflates quickly enough to read your pressure. How on earth can a watch do anything close to that?
I'm sure if Apple thought they could make a watch with accurate BP monitoring, they either would have already or will if the technology can be made to work. I highly doubt this though.
You can trade in your Apple Watch Series 6 for up to $270 off a new watch if you don’t want to spend as much money on a new watch.
Thanks for that information, must have mis-read the blood pressure feature a while back, glucose monitor, blood alcohol also…
Actually there is a non-Apple watch that will measure blood pressure
That is not an article it is an "advertorial" as it says at the ends. I can find nothing that says it has any approval to be sold as a medical device in the US or the UK. I call BS and fake news.
Also if you do a DuckDuckGo search the internet is littered with fake "independent" review sites raving about this device.
