Blood Pressure Log

A cuff that talks to your phone, a watch that forgets by lunch.

Coming to Connect IQ Unlock €4.99

Blood Pressure Log icon

Beta: free for 30 days

The app works fully and for free for the first 30 days after you first open it. After that you can buy a one-time unlock code below. No subscription.

Blood Pressure Log is a quick place to write down a reading you took with any cuff. There is no blood pressure diary built into Connect IQ, so the numbers end up in a notebook or nowhere. This app logs a reading in as few as 4 button presses (a few more when the numbers changed; quick repeated UP/DOWN presses speed up to steps of 5 and 10) and keeps the history on your wrist.

  • Add systolic, diastolic and pulse with a big number picker, starting from your last reading
  • Pulse defaults to your current heart rate when the sensor has one, otherwise your last entry
  • Tag morning, evening or other, set automatically from the time of day
  • Big display of the last reading with date, time and a 7 and 30 day average
  • History of your last 50 readings, delete any entry from its menu
  • Category label (Normal to Very high) from the 2017 ACC/AHA table, informational only, can be hidden
  • Not a medical device. Discuss your readings with a doctor.

How to use it

Add Blood Pressure Log to the widget loop (swipe through widgets on the watch).

Controls: UP adds a reading, START opens the menu, UP/DOWN change a value, START goes to the next step. Touch-only watches: tap the upper half of the main screen to add a reading, the lower half for history; in the picker tap the top half for +, the middle for -, the bottom edge for OK.

What it does

Blood Pressure Log is a notebook for readings from any cuff. You enter systolic, diastolic and pulse in four steps. The main screen shows the last reading, a category label and 7 and 30 day averages. It measures nothing itself.

Installation

In the Connect IQ app on your phone (or Garmin Connect, then the Connect IQ Store) find "Blood Pressure Log" by Dialforge, tap Install and sync the watch. Find it in your glances (UP or DOWN on the watch face, or swipe) and press START or tap to open it.

First launch

With no readings it says "No readings yet". The picker starts at 120/80 and pulse from your heart rate if the watch has it, otherwise 70. Later readings start from the previous one. The 30-day free beta starts the first time you open it.

Controls

Watches with buttons (START, UP, DOWN, BACK)

  • Main screen: UP adds a reading, DOWN opens History, START (or holding UP) opens the menu: Add reading, History, Hide category, About.
  • Adding: UP +1, DOWN -1, START moves on (Systolic, Diastolic, Pulse, Time of day) and saves on the last step. BACK goes a step back, on the first it cancels.
  • Fast repeated presses speed up: steps of 5 from the 4th, 10 from the 13th. Time of day cycles Morning, Evening, Other.
  • History: UP and DOWN move the highlight, START opens Delete or Cancel.

Touch watches (tap, hold, swipe)

  • Main screen on watches without UP and DOWN: upper half adds a reading, lower half opens History, the corner icon opens the menu. With buttons only the icon works.
  • Adding: upper half +1, middle -1, bottom strip next step or save. Swipe right goes back.
  • History: top third up, middle down, bottom third opens Delete or Cancel.

Settings

Phone: Connect IQ app, Blood Pressure Log, Settings (the unlock code fields are there too).

On the watch, inside the app:

  • Hide category (menu): Shown or Hidden. Hidden removes the label from the main screen.
  • Ranges: systolic 60-250, diastolic 30-150, pulse 30-220.

License

  • Free beta: 30 days from the first launch, everything works.
  • Price: 4.99 EUR once at dialforge.dev, no subscription. The 8-character code is tied to your watch's UID.
  • Where to enter it: phone, Connect IQ app, Blood Pressure Log, Settings. Read the UID in "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)", buy the code, then type it into "Unlock code from dialforge.dev". The end-of-beta screen on the watch shows the UID too.
  • After the beta without a code: an end-of-beta screen with the UID replaces the app. Enter the code, then open it again. New watch? Write to us and the code moves for free.

Privacy and permissions

No special permissions.

No internet use. Data stays on the watch.

Health note: not a medical device, no diagnosis or treatment, no substitute for a doctor. Medical decisions belong to your doctor or pharmacist.

Troubleshooting

The code does not work. Check that the UID you bought for matches "Watch UID (needed to buy a code)" and type all 8 characters (case is ignored, no 0, O, 1 or I). A code for another app does not fit. Sync, then reopen.

Which category is used? The 2017 ACC/AHA table, Normal to Very high (above 180 or 120). Only a label, with no advice. Hide it in the menu if you like.

How many readings are kept? History shows the last 50, the watch stores 200.

Time of day is already set? Yes, from the clock: Morning 5:00 to 11:59, Evening 17:00 to 21:59, otherwise Other. Change it on the last step.

Glance after the beta? Without a code after 30 days it shows "Beta ended".
