Hi everyone, I am looking for a smartwatch that offers continuous monitoring of my heart rate and preferably other vitals (Blood oxygen, blood pressure) as well.
I have been looking at the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, but I cannot find if it offers continuous monitoring functionality.
Can anyone give some insight, or maybe share their experience with a smartwatch that offers this functionality.

I have the Galaxy Watch 4 and I like it. Here’s a screenshot of the heart rate settings. On my current setting, it monitors continuously while exercising (including a long walk) and every 10mins while still.
It can also monitor blood oxygen continuously, but only during sleep (presumably to check for sleep apnea). While awake, you can take a manual blood oxygen measurement

It seems like “still” means whenever it’s not tracking an exercise. But exercise includes walking more than a few minutes. It automatically records when I walk a lap around my office during break, so that’s enough to trigger it
The Pixel Watch doesn’t do all that continuously, but it does constantly measure your heart rate.

I use both a Pixel and an iPhone. I have almost everything from both ecosystems. I honestly prefer my Pixel Watch over my Apple Watch.
I have a Fitbit sense, it has a blood oxygen estimation but not constant, doesn’t really do blood pressure.
If you are just looking for those metrics then it doesn’t do a bad job, basically a lifestyle tracker. If you are looking at it from a sports perspective I’d recommend a Garmin over a Fitbit.
I don’t have any experience with any others though.
