1) within 5 minutes of pulling the battery tab, I lost all power -- this needed to be remedied before the bluetooth connection could be established -- but the instructions that came in the box contained no instructions on changing the batteries. 2 ) Initially it would not connect to my WiFi. This held me up for 15 or 20 minutes -- got it on the 7th retry with the same data -- apparently it incorrectly sniffed out the initial WiFis incorrectly but got it right once I figured out how to make if resniff them using the PDF user manual that is offered on-line. 3) I find the downloaded app quite confusing as I believe it tries to serve too many devices. For example, the home tab kept telling me there were no recordings to display even after I had taken three readings ... then I went to the More tab, selected Health Stats, then chose Blood Pressure before I could then see the three readings. So, for the BP Index user, the relevant data is somewhat buried.

I bought this a month ago, it synced to my Garmin connect with no issues. I love that I can view my result instantly on the app and keep a record of it for my Dr. Also my wife uses it as well and we can enjoy the comfort of taking our BP's at home any time.

My one suggestion would be that the blood pressure monitor could be taken at your wrist instead of your arm... The cup monitors that the hospitals use are very accurate and easier to use. I bought a separate Garmin case for my device but it sure doesn't fit very well.

I have using this BPM for more than a month now. It's great and super easy to setup and connect to both wifi and Garmin Connect. It is great to be able to view all my health stats in one place. I purchased the BPM and scale at the same time which makes for seamless monitoring of my health stats. I would have given 5 stars except I have smaller arms and the blood pressure cuff doesn't easily fit so it is a bit cumbersome to adjust on my arm to get a reading. Otherwise I am totally satisfied with my purchase and would recommend to others..

Just received my monitor. So easy to set up and sync to Connect App on my IPhone . Really nice design and readings are very accurate . I compared to other BP monitor I have and they were the same result. Great to be able to email readings to Cardiologist when needed. Well done Garmin

My wife and I both have Garmin watches and I recently purchased the smart scale along with the BP monitor. We have spent too much time and energy trying to get both of us connected to the BP monitor and still have only one user. The connectivity should not be this difficult and frustrations clearly rise when we try multiple times to no avail. My wife still is not connected and we have given up.

I bought the Garmin Index to track my blood pressure from home. After a month of usage I'm less than pleased with my purchase. The reading vary wildly by 30 points and the device has only successfully synched with my Garmin App one time. I have been a Garmin enthusiast for years and I am very disappointed with the usefulness of the Index.

I bought this a few weeks ago. My husband and I both use it. We also bought the scale. Both of them are easy to use. I am writing this review, especially for those of you who add a secondary user to the blood pressure monitor. You will not see The secondary user's readings updated until hours later. We thought there was something wrong with the monitor, but then woke up the next day to find that the secondary user's readings had finally been uploaded to the app. The primary user will see the readings uploaded almost immediately.

I bought this a few weeks ago but wish I had it years ago for the simple fact of how all the measurements automatically store in my connect app, can be downloaded and sent to doctors if needed. A valuable tool to help pool all of your health statistics together.

I love the fact that all my vital information is captured in my Garing devices. It is easy to use. Training and tracking progress is easier in a marked way! The BPM smart Blood Pressure Meter typically takes two readings to provide accurate blood pressure readings. I have historical data to compare.
