I bought this to start tracking my blood pressure and keep accurate records. Easy setup and it works wonderfully synching the information immediately to garmin connect app. The problem I'm having is the readings are higher than my other much cheaper monitor and when being checked by my doctor.

Bought the BPM unit about 3 weeks ago. Easy to use and measurements are comparable to other units I access. This unit has the added pluses of convenience and documentation. The documentation feature was quite valuable in demonstrating to my provider that my current BP management regime was falling short of target and required adjustment. Needless to say, the BPM unit is worth every dime I paid for it.

I have been using my Garmin Index BP for about two weeks. I really enjoy the automatic updating on the Garmin connect app. More and more I have been using Garmin products to measure stuff. I am 54 and somethings become much more important to overall health (before this age actually). I can no longer ignore elevated blood pressure or weight measurements. I really don't want to start on medication and so have chosen to spend some money on a blood pressure monitor that automatically sends measurements to an app that I've been using for some time. The price is competitive as well. It may be a little bit more expensive than other blood pressure monitors but I feel it was worth it. It is simple to use to get a 3 measurement average in the morning.

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.

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.

I am very unhappy with this device. It was indicating I have hypertension. After visiting my doctor and testing the device against their readings my blood pressure is 30 points lower than the device reading. We took multiple readings and used both arms each time the results were wildly inaccurate. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I thought this would be a nice upgrade from another B/P cuff I've been using for years, and thinking it would be nice to have my B/P showing up in Garmin Connect. However, readings on the BPM Smart Blood Pressure Monitor were so much higher, I began comparing reading, when I say higher, I mean at least 20 points higher on the Systolic. The reading on 1/29 the reading was 202/101 with a pulse of 142 and I was, supposedly in Hypertensive Crisis. The reading from the old cuff was 139/83 with a pulse of 54 (this was after drinking coffee.) Readings from the old cuff are similar to those taken by my PCP. There are times when the readings between the old cuff the BPM are close, but not often for me to consider it accurate.

It reminds me of my first Garmin product, the Forerunner 210. Clunky, clumsy; short on physical design. It literally fell apart in less than two years. The watch did serve as a great tool to introduce better designs. I am up to the Forerunner 945 and enjoying it. Hopefully Garmin will find a better way to match its computing brilliance with an improved physical design for the monitor. Maybe it won't be necessary to err on the safe side in measurements...

Activity trackers, on body sensors, the connected scale now this! A blood pressure cuff that automatically drops your readings into a single health and fitness app! Love it. Maybe they'll work on a lactate sensor next? Now in my 50's my doctor asked to track my blood pressure. Plenty of connected devices out there but then you have to link apps and deal with all the headaches. This connects directly to your network, uploads the readings to Garmin Connect and you can easily track them in the single location.

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.
