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
