ZDNET's key takeaways The YHE BP Doctor Fit is available for $129.
Blood pressure results are within 6-8 mmHG of a blood pressure cuff, the display is vibrant, the battery lasts a week, basic health tracking is available, and it's inexpensive.
The band closure is the opposite of other watches; the charger connection can be finicky, and there are limited apps. $129.99 at Amazon
In 2024, I reviewed another YHE blood pressure watch, but while its blood pressure monitoring was solid, the rest of its features and design left much to be desired. I couldn't continue using it after my evaluation. However, after a month of using the YHE BP Doctor Fit, I'm impressed. For just $129, it's proven to be an excellent blood pressure watch.

The watch came in a basic black retail box containing the watch and a USB charging cable. The charging cable is the weakest aspect of the package. It attaches magnetically to the back of the watch, but the magnets are relatively weak, requiring careful alignment to ensure charging occurs properly.
While the charging connector can be a bit uncertain at times, the watch easily lasts for more than a week, with someone taking blood pressure measurements two to four times a day. I'm sure the battery will be reduced the more you take your blood pressure, but even with the vibrant high resolution of 410 x 502 pixels, I am impressed by the watch's battery life.
