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.

Excellent compact design that delivers. Once initial fitting is done, you simply slip it on and push the button to start. No need for refitting every time. Love that I can keep a running record of my blood pressure over time. With the compact design, you can even travel with it. Also allows for multiple user tracking.

This is the fourth blood pressure cuff I've bought. It is my favorite of them all. The reading are fairly accurate as compared to a manual sphygmomanometer. That being said, you do have to be Very Careful and follow the instructions exactly or you will wind up with a very inaccurate reading. Arm strength out resting at heart level. Give yourself a few minutes to relax before you take a reading. I don't think any of the automatic blood pressure cuffs are exact, but if used correctly gets you in the “ballpark”. I like that it automatically saves the data to Garmin Connect.

The Index BP monitor is really easy to use and it syncs beautifully with Garmin Connect. I'm really pleased with its performance. Some reviews said it doesn't do triple averaging--it does very easily. I like that it doesn't have hoses and power cables--I can use it anywhere.

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.

I've had this device 1 month. I check my BP 3x a week. I always take it 3 times in a row and take the average. Sometimes the top number is way low the first time then high the second time. Not sure if it's positioning on my upper arm or what? Once I find the "sweet" spot on my arm, readings tend to trend closer to correct numbers.

I would give it a one start. This blood pressure doesn't communicate well with software. It also send false information on random times of the early morning . It was very difficult to add my fiancé and retrieve his information, when it did it came with false information. I included the BP false information that send to my connect and my fiancés connect. His was send at 1 am and mine at 5 am neither off us took our blood pressure at those times. I love my garmin devices and was really hope that this BPM would work for us . As I'm trying to come up with a whole body health program for my family. It is disappointing not to be able to get the information needed. It sucks the you don't have a customer service I could talk to . It would be nice to be able to talk to someone that could help with the problem.

I work as an Anesthesiologist. I was very surprised a month ago when I recorded high blood pressures during a routine physical. I compared the garmin machine to the machines in the hospital. Both were the same. I appreciate the connivence of the data streaming to my phone. I already used garmin connect for my cycling and other workouts. I would recommend this product

I've used several different home BP monitors over the past decade. When my most recent one fell victim to a high impact incident with the floor, I jumped at the chance to replace it with the Garmin Index BPM. The chance to add my BP metrics to the collection of vitals in the Garmin ecosystem along with the expectation of quality and reliability convinced me to overlook the premium price point and a few negative reviews about accuracy.. Oh how I was disappointed! The clever design of the angled face is annoying in practice. Rather than allowing the cuff to be wrapped around the body for a compact travel package, the angled face means that the cuff is bunchy and loose. The design of other cuffs I've used have a serious advantage for portability. But most troubling by far was the accuracy of the BP readings themselves. Multiple back to back readings with no other changes produced wildly different results. The readings would consistently vary by 25-30 points! Inconsistency was the only thing consistent about this cuff. Yes, I have also used the feature for 3 readings to average and yes, I'm very familiar with the importance of placement position. Comparing side by side readings at the same time with a different BP cuff, the Garmin BPM was all over the place and even the averages of readings were not in line with the other cuff or manual readings (the old school way). My experience unfortunately echoes that of others reviews that have found the BPM to be consistently inaccurate. After a month of trying to make it work, I have returned the unit. I will not buy another, and I would not recommend to others. I would go even further to recommend several alternatives (all of them cheaper) instead.

I've had this monitor for several months now and it's always easy to use. I've done a few tests against my BP readings at the doctor and it's within 2-5 on both systolic and diastolic. I would highly recommend for anyone that wants to keep an eye on their blood pressure!!
