Seamless connectivity

I love having Data. While I have my problems with Garmin Connect, I really enjoy having my results be sync'd to my profile where I can track my stats over time, and see a visual representation where my blood pressure is. Honestly, is it worth it? Maybe. You can simply get a regular BP cuff and write your results down, but I like the Index and its features. Build quality is nice. I'm happy with my purchase.

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.

Works well, good data viz.

Works exactly as described -- especially appreciate the high quality data visualization in Garmin Connect. I think there will be a lot of value in having this as historic data for myself. The biggest feature I would add is the ability to measure body temp and include that as well -- that would capture all of the major vitals in the Garmin ecosystem (blood oxygen, pulse, blood pressure, temperature).

Great BP monitors

I purchased this to help monitor my and my wife's BP. It works great. Only issue is it won't all multiple users as advertised. I add my account the my wife's, it wipes out my account. I add my wife's account and the me. It wipes out her account. So you can switch users Luckily, you can use it without being a registered user. That's why only 3 star rating.

Easy to use and love that it syncs to Garmin

Overall pleased. Easy to use, syncs up with Garmin Connect so I can track longer term trends vs. one-off measurements. You can add up to 10 additional people by inviting them through Garmin Connect app, great for family. It seems to be accurate, I've compared against another blood pressure monitor and it seemed consistent with it.

Compact, portable

I bought this a few weeks ago. It does a good job taking the blood pressure. However, i find the communication to connect on my cell phone to be a bit iffy. I have had to intervene and poke at the control buttons to make sure it was going to transfer the data. Perhaps i don't understand the not very clear instructions.

Junk

Right out of the box, the unit had issues pairing with the app and finding our wifi. Control buttons and functions are unclear and the user manual was not much help. Battery compartment design is terrible, access is hidden beneath the cuff and the latch broke after two days so it wouldn't stay closed. All-around failure in every possible way. Returned. I wasn't going to post this review because I generally like my other Garmin products, but Garmin kept spamming me asking me for a review. Careful what you wish for.

Decent little BP machine with some issues...

The good... easy to use for the most part, nice and portable and part of the Garmin ecosystem... The bad... pain in the *** to get the cuff on correctly and tighten it, Garmin should take a cue from Omron's portable travel cuff, its amazing, also the device disconnects from WIFI on its own quite often so it doesnt sync like it should...

A nice compliment to Garmin fitness

One of the missing components to the Connect daily summery was blood pressure. As someone on medications for hypertension, the device allowed me to monitor BP and see this along with other data in one app. The device itself is small enough that it's easily portable and easy to use. Highly recommended.

Convenient

I've been using it for about a month now. I like that it's convenient and ties into Garmin connect. The reporting features are great too. It does tend to read high when you put it up against the doctor's cuff. In my case, 10-20 points average. The nurse tried to help me troubleshoot, but the medical cuffs have markings on them for positioning over the artery and sizing. This cuff doesn't. I marked it average since it seems to be very consistent in it's readings, so it's at least useful for tracking trends if you're worried about blood pressure.
