OK first version but needs some changes

Overall I do like it but needs some tweaks for the next version. The set up compared to another brand I have was not as straightforward, I'm a Software Engineer and a gadget junkie. I think of set up should be super simple for non technical people, this was not. Should have been a simplified set up cheat sheet/card right at the top of the box to walk a user through. The band has three harder areas that for me make it hard to get on just right as one of the hard areas is right where it needs to fold so I get pinched out an awkward fit. My other one is soft the whole way around. The three buttons could be a single button, again user experience is lacking. Uploading into Garmin Connect is great, but there are no averages, what the doc is looking for and is a simple calculation.

Easy and Informative

I was able to connect the cuff to my Connect app with zero problems. It has made taking a series of 3 bp readings every morning effortless, which means I'm much more consistent. Having the data populate automatically in the app eliminates any logging typos or even forgetting to log. Seeing the color coded dots make it easy to track to make sure I'm staying on track. The user-replaceable batteries were a concern, but they seem to be lasting a long time.

Difficult to use with two users

This product works well if it's for only one person but if you share, it's quite frustrating. First, if you manage to load multiple users, it only recognizes one person before you have to reset the Bluetooth and/or network connection on the device. Then, after limited uses, it random knocks one of the users off. If the secondary user adds themselves back, the original account owner gets knocked off when secondary user gets added! After this happening a few times, I just stopped using it. Kind of disappointing such a piece of vital equipment isn't free if these types of bugs...

Very Compact

This may not be as accurate as my large Omron blood pressure machine (the type with a cuff, air hose, brain box and wall plug) but it is so much easier to use, and easier to travel with. I also love that it sends data to my Garmin connect app where I track all of my health related data. Sometimes I get readings that seem way off and find myself having to adjust the position of the cuff and take a couple readings, once you find the sweet spot for fit and position though it gives fairly consistent readings, comparable to any other wrist mount or travel size cuff.

Works great for multiple people in office

I leave this unit in our company break room where anyone can use it. Most people in my company have Garmin products (Watches, EDGE, etc.) and already use Connect so it was easy to add the BPM to our WIFI network and I invited the various users to attach to it. We all use it daily and log the data into our own Connect accounts. You just select the user with the top button. It couldn't be easier!

Refuses to connect to WiFi

Perhaps it is faulty, and it looks like I will be returning it. I cannot get it to connect to WiFI. It works like any other BPM but I bought it for its capacity to record my details automatically and be a part of the details gathered by Garmin Connect. But it doesn't do the bit I bought it for.

So far it reads exceedingly high

Have taken my BP many times over the past 2 weeks and it is consistently high, like really high. According to it I am constantly having a stroke. I went and compared it to the one at the doctors office and my BP was perfect 121/82. Took my BP with this immediately afterwards (while in the doctors office) and it read 190/145.

Nice design

I bought this due to my wife having some health issues and wanting to get more consistent BP measurements looking for trends. Having the data in Garmin Connect is helpful. I really like the way the cuff wraps up nice and clean and it is super easy to use.

Compact size

I've had this a couple of weeks. I like the compact size which allows me to easily carry it with me. I like the three reading option that gives you an average of your blood pressure. Wish it detected and recorded irregular heart beats but I do like that records everything on Garmin Connect. That makes it convenient so I can share that info with my doctor.

V1 not ready, will wait for V2

Tried to like it, worked with support and still cant get it to take a accurate reading. Ran into all the same issues that you'd find with a search. Always reads much higher then actual reading when compared to both another device i own and doctors office. Will be returning the device.
