Best Blood Pressure Monitor (Doctor's Review)

[@ValentijnLangendorff]

Update 2: measured on both bpm connect and omron evolv. To be enought you have to use 2 systems to have a sort of feel that you can thrust a bit the BP benchmark values. The data values are average wise the same. I did a 3 run test on the withings bpm connect and the omron evolv. Bpm connect can do that with a custom setting. Evolv not. But pressing 3x times with a little break is not that hard. My biggest positive for the omron is its clumsy proof. If your doubting the pressure on your arms than the evolv wins. I had to use the evolv in order to have a trusty feel of fitting with the bpm connect. Software wise omron connects nice with Samsung health directly. Bpm connect not. Data wise I'm a freak so I like the more open structure of withings health app. And also it syncs via WiFi. Omron wins in my opinion on speed, fitting and trustworthy measurements. Withings bpm connect wins on software and WiFi connection. So 8/10 for withings bmp connect and 9/10 for the omron. Im still not sure if I'm returning the bmp connect.

[@KoiAcademy]

Valentijn Langendorff it’s good to know that we arrive at similar conclusions, but thank you so much for your input on their accuracy and for taking the time to review them yourself! I’m going to pin this comment so that other listeners might benefit from it as well! Thank you so much!!

[@trikkemike]

Mike and Matty so does that mean the omron is a better device?

[@KoiAcademy]

Michael Simmons they both get the job done for sure. The biggest factor is if you plan on sharing the device with others in your household then go with withings. Otherwise you could argue your favorite based on personal preference 😄

[@janstergaard703]

For me the accuracy and the openness of the data is paramount. I want to have full and free access to my data, put em in an excel sheet, share them with other apps. Like Google Health(fit) etc. So I find myself not able to decide yet. Unsure of the openness.

[@knottreel]

Great review! I don't really care about all the features and portability. I just want something as accurate as the Dr's office monitor.

[@bmrbca3658]

An accuracy test would be helpful. Comparing home units against what you have at your office. The biggest complaints with home units tends to be issues with accuracy

[@sethwilliamson]

100%!!! I took one home unit with me to the Doctor's office and it measured a full 20 mmHg off what the nurse measured with theirs!

[@krollpeter]

This may mean the end of sales for most home devices. Europe and the US have institutes that verify accuracy of devices, but the vast majority does not get a seal of approval. However, there are many Omrons which do, even some cheaper ones, and even some of their wrist devices.

[@davidcreely693]

Thank you for the review! Diagnosed stage 2 hypertension a few weeks ago. The Withings readings matched my historical bp numbers. I now take bp readings daily, and forward my ENTIRE health data (coordinated with Apple Watch) to my cardiologist. My ACE inhibitor wasn’t working well enough, and adjustments are required. The Withings let me know that. Highly recommended! If not for this review, I would have bought (and almost did) the inferior device.

[@smilebot484]

i bought the withings. it really is well made and well designed. taking your blood pressure initially can be a bit scary! but what happens to me is my pressure is generally 10+ points lower at home than in the doctors. so many people are just wrongly diagnosed and drugged with serious meds that have negative side effects. taking bp is also a great way to tweak sleep, supplements, exercise etc. everyone should be taking bp 2x a day imo. heart disease is one major bullet it's advisable to dodge. i went whole food plant based, got rid of salt and refined oil, reduced stress, and increased exercise to make sure i don't fall victim to this scourge. taking my bp is a great way to keep an eye on trends to make corrections. be well!

[@hobo1452]

It should be noted that, while they may last up to 5 years, the Withing uses rechargeable batteries that are not replaceable by the user. That means you either send it in to have new batteries installed or buy a new unit. For that reason, I prefer user replaceable batteries.

[@stylefreaks]

Yes, rechargeable is more convenient however, sooner or later, the internal battery will crap out and you will have to throw the unit away. With the Omron, you will just replace the batteries.

[@ENFL470]

You should show how accurate they are ?

[@muir71]

I agree with this, features alone should never be a reason to chose a medical grade device over accuracy. I personally own both and replace the Withings with the Omron because of accuracy issues,. The Withings started off great, but slowly got higher and higher with readings. Short of resetting the device continually for accuracy wasn't worth it. 0 issues with Omron ever regarding accurate readings. Withings had me worried that my medication wasn't working... And HBP is bad enough without that stress on top of it 😂

[@watersbey25]

I agree an inaccurate BP monitor belongs directly in your trash can. Don't try to save money by keeping a faulty (Titan) BP monitor that can give false readings to your doctor

[@krautkopp]

My withings bpm core is 15 points off. Checked it with my doctor. Their support does not answer. Brand new e-waste.

[@chad5711]

Wife uses her BP monitor daily. Her "issue" is struggling to wrap the cuff around her arm; a) she's female hence smaller arm diameter, and b) the cuff "hangs-up" when she's trying to adjust it before inflation. You didn't mention the physical "get-it-on-your-arm-properly" aspect, and that's her issue. Thanks!!

[@cyphonrider]

The Withings BPM Connect was WILDLY inaccurate for me. I had to return it to Amazon. It was generally 25-30 points higher than what was measured at my doctor's office.

[@tdeweesebeats]

I’m a CNA and the first thing i am tasked with is passing ice and getting vitals. The quicker,smaller product is what I am after. I need to be able to use it on large arms and tiny arms but a wrist is much easier. Not sure if as accurate but if you could do a video for this need Im sure you will get some good feedback. Thank you for the video i will be watching more

[@petebarnett5189]

In the UK: Omron Evolv 5 year warranty / Withings BPM Connect 2 year warranty.

[@jlittsey6243]

Had the Withings first gen and the warranty and the battery cover we’re HORRIBLE. One year on any medical device is indicative that you shouldn’t take it seriously. Checking what the warrantees are now.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Rechargeables have batteries that will die in a few years usually. And sometimes things are made so that it's difficult to change the rechargeable battery and people wind up chucking the whole machine. So I think that might be something to consider with comparing to a device that takes regular batteries.

[@somestuffithoughtyoumightl6985]

Non consumer replaceable internal batteries should be outlawed. Such a waste to toss a perfectly good machine over batteries. Rechargeable AAs for the win!

[@Doggieman1111]

Exactly, I'd rather buy a pack of AAs or AAAs every once in awhile than have to deal with USB charging all the time.

[@terrencebenjamin7241]

I bought both. The OMRON evolve first then the WithIngs BP Connect.I bought the Withings due to my physician saying that a smaller cuff could give a false read but I since noticed that the withings gave back similar results as the OMRON. So it’s me. As far as price the Omron is now 59.99 at Bestbuy and the Withings was $100 but I was able to get it for $54 at bestbuy because of points. As far As the OMRON I feel the cuff is more rigid but It is easier and quicker to get on. The battery replacement is annoying though. Also you can delete no results in the Omron Connect app if you need to. The Withings I like for the cuff is adjustable and it’s compact and it’s is rechargeable. Also I like where the Withings automatically sends the results to the app where the Omron doesn’t. Overall both are great but I feel the Withings is the best one.

[@reneamaro8476]

Thank you so much. Because of your review, I ordered the Withing BPM Connect. I confess I think the rechargeable is the best way to go. Even though I buy batteries in bulk, I'm always running out, and to be frank,, I am so tired of replacing batteries in everything. Again, thanks for the great reviews.

[@djTorchLive]

There were a few concerns I had for this video. 1. The Omron CAN take 3 measurements and average them. 2. The Amazon reviews for the Wthings is "not that great". The accuracy was a concern. I want to like and buy this because I have other Withings devices but I may have to stay with my Omron for now. You nailed it about the Omron connect app, it was horrible at first. You'd have to keep pairing it.

[@GammaScorpio]

The omron has papers on PubMed in pregnancy and they are calibrated for pre-eclampsia.

[@KuyaRafi]

I hate that omron is not going with time and just implement a type c plug. We live in 2024. Batteries are useful for travelling but 99% i measure blood pressure, i'm at home near a plug and not in the mountains. Even while travelling, i'd prefer to use usb c. It runs on 6v 1A, it would be so easy to implement. I also don't want to carry extra batteries when travelling or replace them once a week I contacted omron and they're saying there is no plans to implement that in the future.

[@strangnet]

In Sweden the pricing is swapped. The Withing goes for around €100, and the Omron is twice that.

[@Dufus57]

I’m surprised at the prices quoted for the Omron Evolv. In UK, the cheapest is £105!! I want to get the Garmin Index BPM but it is not available in UK. The lack of automatic syncing for Evolv is also disappointing and quite ‘clunky’.

[@miriamshippmann7638]

I recently got a garmin index bp monitor. It was a bit expensive $159 but I love garmin products. And I already had the app. Story why: I have a cat who constantly chews on tubings (bp monitors) and hoses (cpap machine). So I needed a monitor that did not have tubing. I like it so far. This one you can share with 16 people and it weighs so much less than my old ormon did and is much easier to pack.

[@calikokat100]

comparing 2 devices for accuracy isnt valid...becuase both devices might be inaccurate

[@joemanta504]

So when the withings no longer holds a charge throw it in the trash ,with the omron just replace the batteries and keep checking your blood pressure .

[@KoiAcademy]

Joe Manta hahaha I suppose so, great point 😂

[@nsevv]

Well said! standard replaceable rechargeable battery is always better! Works even during blackout if you have a hoard of batteries.

[@dzonatanas]

@@nsevv Or you can use portable power charger during blackouts if using Withings

[@ianduckworth8595]

Hi Doc great idea but I have evolv (UK) and I don’t see how you can share? Also you can delete someone else’s reading via the app if need be - Go to BP tile in App ‘tap’ then ‘3 dots menu’ tap all stored data, then pick the ‘line’ which is someone else’s ‘tap’ and then at bottom of page ‘delete’ entry 🤗

[@koofdome]

I was real sick with a cold or flu so I went to an urgent care since it was 8pm my doctor was closed. They took blood pressure out of protocol as part of the check up and I was 165/83. They took it on my right arm, over my long sleeve dress shirt, and my arm was hanging down just laying next to my side/hip.... I don't think I was given an accurate reading at all? And they freaked me out. I bought the Omron 3 the very next day and it's consistent around 130/73 I'm 28 yr old, male, kinda lazy office job 6'5" 227lb I'm hoping that dr office reading was off. It's been freaking me out....

[@matn7743]

@@nearlyretired7005 Like myself, plenty of consumers like to write reviews about their own personal experience with a product to either show support for a good product, or warn about possible quality or performance issues - for the benefit of other consumers. Amazon sells freaking everything. I highly doubt they have some elaborate network of drones with multiple fake accounts employed to write glowing reviews on everything amazon sells. There's plenty of negative reviews as well as positive reviews, and often a mixture of each for the same product. You can gauge the veracity of a review simply by reading it. If it seems "canned," ignore and move to the next. Calling people sheep is not edgy, it's lame. There's 7.8 billion people on this earth, so when you find people with a specific interest commenting about the relatively small range of product options available, you'll see some common themes. Don't be so negative. Peace.

It is set up to stop corporations from dominating trade. In the end you will have no choice but to buy from Amazon when they control all consumerism and prices. This company makes billions and pays very little tax in proportion to its profits. The tax bill from covid be will massive and the ordinary man pays. not the shareholders of Amazon If you buy from Amazon you make billionares richer at the expense of the ordinary people. Consumers are sleepwalking into buying from this company for a cheaper product without realising they are helping Amazon to become the ultimate world dominating monopoly. Peace to you also.

Thank you for review. Which is more accurate and has close reading Dr. office's BP monitors ? Would be great if you have a video compare both same time with Dr. office monitor..

[@ValentijnLangendorff]

I'm owning both the Omron Evolv and the Withings BPM connect rigth now for a comparison. And am comparing. As I have the Withings scale the app works great also with the BPM all data. A big up for the Withings' software and freedom (direct wifi upload and great dashboard). Omron has a poor app and no online dashboard. But then again the Omron is very consistent with the measurements. BPM connect : when playing with the height on my arm and pressure of the band it varies a lot. Omron has a better fitting technology and even says a code E1 if it's too loose or E4 error if you move to much and such. I keep both of them right now to compare and will decide after one week which one to keep. So at the moment Omron: wins on trustworty data (consistency) en Withings wins on software (mobile/dashboard). As Omron is a big player in the Bp market I guess they will improve the App soon. Note: sharing data on Android is a bit frustrating : Health mate won't sync BP tot Google Fit nor Samsung Health (only steps). I like to have different perspectives on data. Will update soon.

[@KoiAcademy]

Valentijn Langendorff yes keep us updated on your findings and thanks for sharing! If all else is the same for you, but you just enjoy using one over the other and it will motivate you to continue checking your bp as a healthy habit then go with that one!

Let me guess without watching the video, he's not going to actually measure BP with them and compare to hospital grade medical device. He's going to tell us that both are good and we should choose the one fits our needs better.

[@cfc-prototype1200]

100% correct

[@MoSs.]

It's actually a good thing that they use replaceable batteries and not an internal rechargeable battery. Simply because all rechargeable lithium batteries deteriorate in a couple of years, at some point they just don't hold a charge and you'd have to either send it for replacement battery or buy a new one. Having them use regular replaceable batteries makes them be a device that will last for years if not decades (if everything else works fine in them). You can always use rechargeable AA/AAA NiMH batteries.

[@KarenKelleylucky]

I have the Withings BPM Connect. I had the previous model as well. I like the newer one and how compact it is. I have been a little worried about the readings being slightly high/incorrect.

I have had such accurate and consistent readings from the Omron *WRIST* device that I stopped using others to double check. It is 100% in sync with the Omron HEM-780 *_AND_* the Evolv.)

Thorough review. I think the Withings interests me more. However, is there data on the life cycle of the battery since it's a rechargeable? What happens when the battery no longer accepts a charge? Can it be changed? Consumer or factory? Thank you

I agree. That's one reason I chose an Omron. I like that mine uses common, user-replaceable, AA batteries. Rechargeable AAs work just fine.

[@normandeaunewswire]

We are using old fashion Omron at home. Had considered newer Omron that send data wirelessly but the permissions wanted by their app was too obtrusive. Withings says Photos/Media/Files read the contents of your USB storage modify or delete the contents of your USB storage I would prefer if Withings said read contents of Withings storage

[@KoiAcademy]

yes that does sounds very intrusive. I believe it is because omron uses your mobile device's space to store data so it needs your permission. thanks for watching!

[@aalikes7]

Great video! I took your advice & I'm returning the one that I just recently bought for the item: Withings. I didn't know that the BPM could be wireless, rechargeable, & Bluetooth. Moreover, I share my BP with family & friends, that's just greatly convenient. I was just looking for an item that was Bluetooth & compatible with iOS. This exceeds my expectations. In addition, Omron bumped up their price. So, it made the decision easier. Cheers! You definitely should be an updated version of this video. The content is great.

[@jamiesmith9247]

I went with the Omron Evolv, in-part, because it is NOT rechargeable. A big problem with a lot of built-in rechargeable batteries is that they cannot be replaced if/when they go bad. You also have to wait for it to charge if the battery has gone dead. Also, who still uses micro-usb?! I did buy rechargeable batteries, but I have two sets. If the batteries die, I swap them out in 60 seconds, and I'm ready to go.

However, they weren't portable, were cumbersome to use, and they weren't convenient when it came to keeping/tracking data. All those things contributed to me not taking my measurements regularly. This BPm Connect is awesome. Good size. Fits right in my bag. Also, slipping it on while I'm just sitting around is super convenient. The Withings cost more, but I actually use it! The app is easy to use and makes sense. It syncs with Apple Health easily and setup (Bluetooth) was straightforward.

What about consistency? If I move the BPM a bit or looser or tighter I got lots of different measurements. So With the Withings there a measure errors for me.

[@johnw9177]

Valentijn Langendorff my measurements appear consistent. True, positioning the device differently will yield varied results. However, I'm consistent where I place it on my arm. Yesterday, it ran high. I double checked it with my old one and got similar results. I also notice, understand and appreciate when nurses would tell me be still or quiet when they took my measurements. I always thought they were just being..., not nice. Well, turns out it really does influenced the test! So, I actually sit still for 5 min (no talking) before taking a test.

I got both the Withings BPM Connect and the new Omron Platinum monitors and did a side by side on them to determine which one I was going to keep. I have to admit, after your review and handling the BPM unit, I was in love! Small, portable, rechargeable, good app that interfaces with Apple Health, B/T and Wi-Fi, what else could you ask for? And then I started to us it and the love began to fade away. Here are my issues with the BPM: total lack of information and users guide, what we use to call “instructions”. If it is for a single user, yep, it is kind of plug and play, but still, total lack of info. And, only a 1 year warranty if you live in the USA, but 2 years if you live in Europe? There is no product registration process that I could find online so assume you have to maintain receipts and play email tag if there is an issue. And the final straw was the BPM always read a higher blood pressure than the Omron Platinum unit. I really wanted to love this and use it for travel, but I cannot depend on accuracy and readings, so back it went to Amazon today and the Omron is my daily driver, even though it is larger. But, it does more, has a 6 year warranty and was cheaper than the Withings BPM. I still like your reviews, but cannot agree with you on this after personally trying it out.

I have the BPM Connect and a more traditional tubed device, and have been making consecutive measurements every day to compare.

You did not put either BP Monitor on your arm. Both units have an alignment mark which you do not identify. Also, disability issues with either BP Monitor (elderly, stroke, partial paralysis, weakness) Nothing said about the actual use on the arm. I think this is a bogus review.

[@Gulhaider77]

Thank you for the great reviews? Have you looked at the iHealth Neo Wireless BPM? Can you please do a review on that one?

[@lmadsen7118]

I just bought the Omron. Do it warn me, if I have set it wrong on my arm?

[@AngelBeingAngel]

Which one gives the more accurate reading?!?

[@KoiAcademy]

AngelBeingAngel thanks for the comment, I see you found the pinned thread on accuracy ☺️

[@alexng4]

You mentioned to get 2 devices just to compare for accuracy. In your opinion, is it a good idea to get 2 of the same model (Omron Evolv ) to compare each other for accuracy? Or does it make more sense to get 2 different models.

[@barkingspider2007]

Doc, Removable batteries = longer useful life of the device. All the devices with built in batteries have a very limited useful life = Till the battery fails. Thanks for the video.

[@shirosurfer8864]

Batteries are super best standard because once you have rechargable batteries you don't have to toss it in the trash because batteries don't hold charge anymore

[@swisdom9117]

Every BP machine says unavailable on amazon and idk why. They also have really bad reviews. I'm just gonna buy a machine locally and hope its good.

[@Kashif314]

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of Omron Evolv?

[@gindro_oficial]

I've got a Withings scale. Great quality but really poor software. There is NO way to print pdf and send a list of the past measurements. It just gives out the last one (so total useless). My ejection depends on this feature. Can you tell me about that?

[@Denvermorgan2000]

I upgraded to the withings from a Braun I check 7 after I realised it was very inaccurate.

[@missj.4760]

Do you have any advice for a cheap and no frill blood pressure monitor for those who need it only for a short period? All I want is something cheap and acurrate.

[@e.herrerajr.8641]

Love you review! Thank you! It helped me make a decision regarding which one to buy. I went with the Withings. Just got it today....I love it......BUT.....It's not as straightforward to set up with multiple users....I'm pulling my hair trying to figure out how to do it!

[@KoiAcademy]

Ah yea the experience could be improved for sure. Good to hear you are being proactive about your health, what gets measured gets improved!

[@EmilyTienne]

Reasonable accuracy is everything. Blue tooth and wireless are worthless if the monitor under reads.

[@triquetra011]

Devices with replaceable batteries are better (you can use rechargeable batteries). The built-in battery degrades over time.

[@jadesluv]

Doctor Kenny: you helped me decide, great video, informative,concise. I ordered the Withing from your link, only $85 plus tax, thanks!

[@shaluvishali4590]

I wanted to buy bp monitor for my personal use. Your video about wrist vs upper bp monitor and this video is quite enough to buy a monitor. Thanks a lot to mention the brand to buy. Keep rocking 💐

[@seymore1532]

Can you suggest a basic reliable BP monitor that's cheaper, without all the bells & whistles as I can't afford either of these. Cheers

[@keaien]

I personally like removable batteries in omron.

[@tarugo1993]

Im a nurse and im looking for something i can use to multiple patients that is fast and accurate... is it the withings bpm connect?

[@markcottierkw950]

Omron is fda approved though aren't they? Is Withings fda approved? I know from many tests and reviews that the Withings smartwatch is drastically inaccurate so I am a little untrusting of any of their other products.

[@wyle569]

I bought the Withings Connect. Also have an inexpensive Omron. I liked the Withings so much I also bought the bath scale and the smart watch. Now all my info in one app. Wish they made a blood glucose monitor.

[@BecauseICanField]

Bought the Withings but had to return it due its not constantly connecting and poor customer support.

[@rjdavies1982]

Hi there, thanks for your excellent video. I’ve been fitted with an ambulatory monitor from my cardiologist but want a more portable device to wear to see what a usual working week is like for me. Withings looks great - do you know if it will work with my Apple Watch ?
