Been having the yearly conversation with my doctor about high blood pressure. I'm low 40s and he kept talking about blood pressure meds. Bought this a few months back and used the app to start logging BP. Saw my DR yesterday and put the issue to bed. Officially got white coats in my file and no more BP med talk. This unit was very close to the one they had in readings.

Pros: Easy to set up, easy to read the screen. Cons: The Velcro band is difficult to use. Where the rough part stops and fuzzy stuff starts, there is a fold in the band. It's extremely difficult to get that to fasten correctly with one hand (especially for smaller arms, or ones that fasten right at that folding point). The app integration is lacking. I have a Fenix 6 watch. If I want to add my blood pressure which is an option under health stats, I have to add it manually. I also have issues to it connecting via wi-fi/bluetooth to the app on my phone. I bought this blood pressure monitor because it's Garmin, and because I thought that it would automatically collect my data and give me the ability to see a comparison over time. I still have yet to find that capability. Although, I admit this could be user error. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does what it's supposed to do. It takes my blood pressure. However, I do feel like the ability to use it on one's self could be easier, and the app could have some better functionality.

The Index BPM is compact, making it practical to bring along when traveling. IT is relatively easy to use. The readings seem to be accurate. I especially like the fact that the readings are synced onto my Garmin Connect App, making it easy to track over time.

I bought this because I've become fully obsessed with the Garmin ecosystem. The data transferring to the Garmin connect app is awesome and very reliable. I check my blood pressure every morning and I often have to check it two times in a row because the first read is high vs what my normal BP is. Not a problem in my opinion but if it's not situated perfectly on your arm then you can get some weird readings. Overall it's fantastic and I'm glad I purchased it.

I rarely forget to check my BP for the last two years, but RECORD KEEPING? I am looking forward to my appointment with my cardiologist in August and having ALL of my testing results right in my phone; along with my notes whenever numbers just don't seem to add up correctly. I am so happy that I FINALLY ordered your (and my) perfect BP cuff. No record keeping necessary. All right there in my phone. Believe me, I am spreading the word.

I've had this blood pressure monitor for a couple weeks now going from a traditional one with a pump tube. For the first entire week I was getting really inaccurate readings. The positioning on this one has to be absolutely perfect, and make sure you're making no movements whatsoever. After I finally got that figured out it went a lot smoother. The top number always seems at least 10 points higher than what it actually is. But I guess that's a worthy trade-off from not having to input my data every single time and having it easily read. I think the only thing I'm truly disappointed with is the amount of time it takes to take my blood pressure. It takes significantly longer than my traditional one. As well as deflating on its own. Am I happy I bought it? Yes, do I wish it was better? Also yes.

The blood pressure monitor is accurate. I have another monitor and the results are consistent with it too so I'm confident that the readings are true. I love that it works with the Connect app since it allows me to easily compare my metrics over time. Glad I got it.

Better than my Omron, but still not as accurate as the hospital quality monitors. I will take it with me to my next appointment to get it certified. They do 3 measurements back to back using the personal and the hospital device then give you an accuracy report. I will update my review accordingly.

I was wanting to track my blood pressure and stress of my job and the pain I'm constantly have so I bought the BPM and it works great and sinks it to my app on my phone. I can then see all my data from my TACTIX 8 solar watch works perfectly together. I would recommend both the watch and the BPM blood pressure monitor!!!

I really ,like the capability of the device to upload to my Garmin Account where I can monitor all of my health parameters. However, this is the second one I have gotten, the first one only lasted about 6 months and then would get an E3 error and would not hold pressure, I tried other batteries, no help. I like the upload capability enough to try another one.
