From a quick Amazon search, it looks like the online superstore has done a good job of keeping sellers from claiming that their wearables offer non-invasive blood glucose monitoring. However, it appears that some sellers may have still slipped such claims through via potentially inauthentic product reviews. For example, one product listing from “SOUYIE” features a review — fourth from the top at the time of writing — that specifically singles out purported glucose monitoring in its title. “What really made me happy is the diabetic glucose feature,” writes Viktoriia B. “This is super cool! It’s not just a stylish gadget; it’s a valuable tool for health management.”
Found in the same top search results, a product sold by “TADIBU” has its alleged blood glucose monitoring capabilities touted in its top review. “This watch does EVERY THING [sic] I need one to do and seems to do it very well,” writes a reviewer using the handle Batman1945. “I need to check SPO2, BP, HR, and glucose several time [sic] each day, and this does them all.” Claiming to do blood glucose monitoring doesn’t necessarily mean cheap smartwatches are bad products overall, but it’s a strong sign that you should use caution in shopping for these devices, scrutinize their claimed features, and never use them as a substitute for proper medical gear.
