Number are all over the place

I always have to take 2-3 reading and average them out, the first one almost always says I'm in stage 2 then I think the next few are accurate?? I found out you can delete entries in the app that the blood pressure monitor sends so I started deleting the first one every time.

Dim display

Pretty convenient but the display is too dim for me. I tried new batteries, no difference. I have even seen several videos, they all look dim. No idea why it's an issue, a simple LED display can't cost that much or be that large to be accommodated in this form factor.

Better than other similar options

I've tried a few different portable cuffs, both arm and wrist, and this one has consistently matched the reporting I see at the doctors office. I appreciate the easy to adjust cuff, though it took me a little while to figure out a technique to keep the control unit from rotating around my arm while I tighten it. I love that it is easy to stow, and fits into my travel gear nicely. My only gripe is that it really should come with a hard travel/storage case. The cuff is a magnet for dust and hair, so I usually just keep it stored in the box it was delivered in at home. I won't deduct points from the units function for that, and that the instruction booklet didn't include instructions on how to swap the batteries. I shouldn't have to google such a basic function of the device. Again, not deducting points from the review since the device is still great.

Great, when it works

I really ,like the capability of the device to upload to my Garmin Account where I can monitor all of my health parameters. However, this is the second one I have gotten, the first one only lasted about 6 months and then would get an E3 error and would not hold pressure, I tried other batteries, no help. I like the upload capability enough to try another one.

Compact and easy to use

The Index BPM is compact, making it practical to bring along when traveling. IT is relatively easy to use. The readings seem to be accurate. I especially like the fact that the readings are synced onto my Garmin Connect App, making it easy to track over time.

Great BP monitor if you're in the garmin ecosystem

I bought this several weeks ago and have been using it fairly consistently. I previously had a cheap noname brand. It e I like the feature to acquire 3 readings and then average them out, as well as the automatic sync with garmin connect. My only complain is that the arm band fits a little weird on my bicep.

Reliable, but sometimes you need two try's.

I bought this because I've become fully obsessed with the Garmin ecosystem. The data transferring to the Garmin connect app is awesome and very reliable. I check my blood pressure every morning and I often have to check it two times in a row because the first read is high vs what my normal BP is. Not a problem in my opinion but if it's not situated perfectly on your arm then you can get some weird readings. Overall it's fantastic and I'm glad I purchased it.

Very inaccurate

Bought this for the second time hoping it was more accurate after a year. Turns out it is not. Gave me a 3x reading at 192/94 compared to an average reading with my traditional BP monitor of 135/80 which coincided with my readings at my doctor's office. Heart rate also about 5-10 beats higher than my traditional monitor and my Garmin watch as well. Will continue to test and compare but will most likely return for a Withings. May swap out my Gamin scale for a Withings now as well.

Accurate

I have been using this monitor for over a month now, using it daily, and I have also been checking its accuracy against a BP cuff (sphygmomanometer). This is the most accurate BP device I have found so far. Nice that it uploads directly to my phone and the Garmin App. I Would have given it 5 Stars, but still waiting to see how long the batteries last.

Ease of use

I have been checking daily blood pressure for years now. I have never HAD TO check my blood pressure, like my wife. I am just trying to be aware of my overall health picture and to avoid any surprises. Unlike other brands used, I don't have to have this one really scug. It has never errored out because it was too loose. It is as accurate as others that I have used. The best thing is that it automatically syncs to the app.
