I have bought the same few months back, waiting for ECG and BP monitor feature which is long due since it's launch in 2019. Now I heard that Samsung has enabled BP feature in Korea only and ECG and BP both will be soon available in the fall of 2020

@Pleasant BTW you have made a good decision by getting the stainless steel edition

Yes its a long over due feature they are having some issue with getting an approval from FDA or something i guess
So far Enjoying the purchase
i was lucky enough to get a Good deal yes stainless steel has a premium feel and the leather band is great will be ordering some more straps though as you have been using it already would like to know what accessories you are using with it for protection like cases or rings i saw ringke bezels looks sweet
there are few cases one was ringke other was spigen i haven't decided yet which one to go for
Spigen Looks great but doesnt give full coverage the edges where as Ringke has option to Put Bezels on Top

There is a method to install BP monitor available i installed it using the same method now i need the device to calibrate it

I have couple of stainless steel chain straps which i ordered from aliexpress before the pandemic, they are of excellent quality and I am satisfied with them, I personally like chain / metal straps. For protection I am using a simple screen protector as I don't like those rings and bulky cases which are available and using such things will kill the beauty of the watch so I am keeping it simple, BTW the watch glass itself is scratch resistant..just my opinion..

Lastly, yes there is a method of side-loading BP feature is available on XDA, but my those days are gone when I used to do such experiements, now I hardly get time for such activities :( if you try that, do let us know about the BP feature!

Yeah i can understand it kills the beauty just wanted to be extra careful what happens if it drops from my side table while charging will it survive without protection
share the images of straps you have i am thinking about getting a steel meshed one and sports one for a change and leather one is already came with it so i will have 3 different variety

Well it hardly takes 15 20mins in slide loading it that is still bit exaggerated
yeah i just calibrated with the device and its pretty close

Here are the results Quite happy with this feature

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
