Almost 5 stars but heavy battery drain

I have been using this MPM for almost 10 months. Easy operations, but for me, a tad slow while sync is on. You must wait quite a while after recording to get it further (2nd measurement or user). What is more frustrating is an incredible battery drain. I may be wrong and do something badly, but since the device has been in use for 10 months, I have changed 5 complete sets of batteries (4AAA) from different OEMs. In any case, I thank you for this great invention.

Great product, no wires & easy to use

I really love the product, I just keep it by my bedside and use it nightly so I don't forget. It also uploads to my Garmin connect so I can show my doctor when I visit. The only thing I wish they would have done better was make the inside of the cuff a little less smooth so it does not slip when you try to tighten it. When I try to tighten the cuff, it slips, and I have to hold it and because it is on my arm, so a little difficult to do.

Getting use to it

Like that it syncs to Garmin Connect to shows data with all other training activities. Need to do three readings to get an average still trying to understand the variance from 1st to 2nd to 3rd. Otherwise, great way to keep an eye on your blood pressure.

Been waiting for this product

I have been waiting for a way to get full blood pressure monitoring into Garmin Connect automatically. Omron and others have good hardware but the digital portion has always been lacking. As syncing only via cable and then the software portion is a let down. Garmin has done it right. And IMHO the hardware is much nicer then anything I have seen for a full size blood pressure monitor.

It just works!

Not much to say except that this BPM just works as expected and intended. I love my wifi-connected smart products, and this is a nice addition. Syncs nicely with Apple Health as well. Setup was fairly straightforward, EXCEPT adding a second user. If you want to add a second/third/etc. user, do NOT have that person add it as a new device in their Garmin app - you have to “invite” them to the device through the “Manage Users” screen in the primary user's Garmin app. We were pulling our hair out trying to figure this out at first, especially since there is no manual included, just a quick start guide (no objection to less paper and waste, but we did have to go hunting online for the full manual).

Index BPM

This was a gift from my stepson in January 2023. I have taken BP measurements every morning since January. Then last week, the device would not upload to my Garmin Connect App. I kept getting Error Code "X". After many tries to get a live person to help me by calling your toll free number, I got first Brigette, then Erick today to solve my problem.

Seems Accurate

It was pricey when comparing it to retail store blood pressure monitor options. I have used garmin products for years and have come to trust their precision. I did not want it for smart technology usage, but ended up syncing to my phone and I love how it records my readings. I did compare its results to a blood pressure system at my employer and my retail store machine. All were pretty similar. I simply bought this because I don't like how my practitioner immediately gets blood pressure reading as I hustle to my appointment. I never had confidence in my previous machine. In summary, is it more accurate? Seems similar, but I paid the higher price because of my trust with garmin technology. One gets what they pay for.

Very accurate when compared to Omron

I purchased the Index BPM when it first came out in September of 2022. It is different from the Omron cuff that I was used to. After viewing the online videos on how to take a reading, it has been great ever since. After comparing several weeks' worth of readings with the Omron, I decided to stick with the Garmin. Also, there is the added benefit that your BP readings are seamlessly integrated with the Garmin Connect ecosystem.

Convenient BPM

Convenient and simple to use, the accuracy seems okay. Connected to the Garmin connect app and worked out of the box. Accuracy seems okay but I've noticed holding down the heart button and allowing for 3 measurements seems to help a lot with this. Doing a single measurement seemed all over the place. Recommended for the convenience and integration with the connect app.

Unfortunately, results are consistently 10 mm high

At the hospital I had a nurse check my existing BPM and it was dead on. When I received my Index BPM it consistently read about 10 mm high for sys and 7 mm high for dia compared with my validated BPM. The pulse was accurate. I then reset the new Index unit and tried again to see if there was some problem that a reset would clear. No change still about 10 units high
