Simple and effective monitoring!

I do not suffer from high or low blood pressure since getting myself in shape but as part of my overall fitness regime I have been monitoring my BP for a while now. As an avid Garmin user, this product's launch was timely for me and since I received it, has not failed me. In concert with Garmin Connect, I now have a full history of my BP over a period of time which I can share seamlessly with my Doctor. Awesome product.

Bad measurement of upper pressure

I bought the device three months ago and its main flaw is that it measures the upper pressure incorrectly. On average, it's off by +30 points. The error for the lower pressure is almost zero. All its other features are very good and I hope that Garmin will fix the error through an upgrade.

A great home health tool.

This was purchased to add to our growing Garmin devices. It seems to do a perfectly adequate job at providing a daily insight into blood pressure. I have not verified it versus a 'professional' set but it is a good indicator at any rate and so long as it is accurate to itself, which it is, I hope to use it to provide some additional diagnosis tools to maintain general health. It adjusts easily and is three button simple. My only complaint so far is that I have not found a way to set up both mine and my Wife's connection to our Garmin connect app simultaneously. When she connects it to hers, it seems to remove my profile altogether. It is entirely possible this is user error. Simply stated, it does exactly what I expected it to do, which is perfect.

Great tool!

I can't speak for anyone else, but my blood pressure usually only gets checked when I'm in a Dr's office. I've had elevated readings passed off as being from nerves or whatever, but this device is showing me I actually have high blood pressure and now I'm working on that. Very cool to see when I'm making progress and what's maybe leading to elevated readings. The extra user setup, took us a few tries to get my wife and I both added. Understanding the difference between the wifi and bluetooth setup is the key.

About 15-20 points higher than registered manually

I am hoping that I got a bad BPM - sent it back and hopefully new one will work. Sent it back since it was consistently reading 15-20 points higher than what I get from medical professionals taking it manually. Will try the replacement - hopefully it reports more accurately as I love Garmin products.

horribly inaccurate

I'm getting a measurement of around 170/100, multiple times. I have other Omron BPMs and they're all sub 140 / sub 90. It makes no sense. First Garmin product I'm disappointed with. Hoping there's a software/firmware update in the next few days to get this working correctly or it's going back.

Great idea but not accurate

When I got the Garmin index, I was excited. I needed to monitor my blood pressure due to starting a new medication that could cause my blood pressure to rise. I set it up and started taking my blood pressure daily. The Index kept telling me I had Stage 1 and Stage 2 blood pressure. So I followed up with my doctor as soon as I could. Well, my blood pressure is fine. We did side by side tests and the Index is a good 30 points, on average, above my actual numbers!

I want it to work!

I have more than 30 types of Garmins in my house. I was super excited when I saw the blood pressure monitor. After 10 days, it consistently measures my blood pressure at 175/120. I was terrified and wanted to run to urgent care. I measured it against the health mate cuff that I already use and my BP is normal. I have searched everywhere to find a link to calibrate the Index but not having any luck as I suspect that it the problem. I'll call Garmin for help and check back in to update my review if it gets calibrated correctly.

Easy to Carry Around - Convenient

I bought this about a month ago. I love that it is small and easy to carry anywhere. I like it because it gives good blood pressure numbers. The only problem, I have, the arm band cannot be tighten more before you turn on the blood pressure monitor. Otherwise a good investment.

Accurate monitor

I found it hard to pair initially as I also did with the scale. Maybe it's me but I usually don't have these kind of problems. Also difficult to add a person. I finally gave up on that. Need to be able to do something with the extra cuff if you have smaller arms. My wife had difficulty putting it on her arm. The good and the reason I bought it is once it is paired it syncs well with Garmin Connect. I doubt I would buy this product again
