Product Information

As a fitness fanatic who loves running and cycling, I also have a keen interest in fitness-related technology, and I take every opportunity to cover this niche on my blog. My diverse interests allow me to bring a unique perspective to tech blogging, merging lifestyle, fitness, and the latest tech trends. After being paired, I was informed I needed to update the firmware and this process took about 5 mins or so. After upgrading I had to repair, this time it took a lot longer to connect, but it got there eventually. App This is my third blood pressure monitor review in recent months, having recently reviewed both the Braun ActivScan 9 and the Omron Evolv. The Omron EVOLV all-in-one is an absolute eye-catcher and just right for design lovers and technology enthusiasts.

What we didn't like was the fact that the Braun Heart Health app cannot share readings data with third-pary apps using Apple Health.

In addition, the blood pressure monitor detects usage errors thanks to its cuff seat control. With its small size, the Omron RS3 Intelli IT is extremely portable, making it the ideal blood pressure monitor for frequent and business travelers. The Boso Medicus Family is one of the most popular blood pressure monitors for couples with high blood pressure. Featuring two separate memories, the Boso Medicus Family is a suitable partner device. Its universal cuff also ensures a good fit and accurate reading results for all users. Bluetooth interface: Possibility to transmit measured values to computers and smartphones via Bluetooth and USBOur biggest criticism is the Omron Connect app, which tends to be a bit difficult to use. In some cases there are also Bluetooth connection problems. There are two distinguishable types of blood pressure monitors: Upper arm monitors and Wrist monitors. Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors One of the things I liked about the ActivScan 9 was the app, and this uses the same app. The interface and features are considerably better than the Omron alternative. It looks nicer and it is much more user-friendly to delve down into all the results. WHO classification: Optical classification of measurement results in hypertension grade according to WHO

However, the large cuff of the Beurer BM 85 can lead to measurement errors in patients with small upper arm circumference. Furthermore, the battery life of the Beurer BM 85 is rather short. I think the Omron is a bit more reliable with its readings, but this has a better app, and the wrist-based system makes life a little easier. They are both priced almost the same too, so I would say they are both about equal and if you were going to buy one, decide if you want to do wrist or upper arm readings. The Omron RS3 Intelli IT is the successor to the popular and affordable Omron RS3 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. I would certainly recommend it as a well made, qu ality item, it does the job and I hope it will last a few years. Upper arm monitors have a sleeve, which is connected via a hose to the device. While reading, the cuff is attached to the upper arm and thus at heart level, which facilitates the correct positioning of the arm. Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorIn my academic pursuits, I earned a BSc in Information Systems Design from UCLAN, before advancing my learning with a Master’s Degree in Computing. This advanced study also included Cisco CCNA accreditation, further demonstrating my commitment to understanding and staying ahead of the technology curve. The monitor impresses with its sleek and elegant design, a Bluetooth interface and useful features such as colour coding of the blood pressure values from green to red. The the "ball in the hole" system makes is also very easy to attach the cuff on the right place on your wrist. A device you use on a daily basis should be easy and pleasant to use. Therefore, the user friendliness of the tested blood pressure monitors were a factor in our assessment. This includes the ease of use as well as the size and universal usability of the cuff.

The Omron M7 Intelli IT is the successor to the popular Omron M6 (ranked #7 in our blood pressure monitor review). The Omron M7 Intelli IT boasts a wide range of features, Bluetooth transmission of blood pressure measurements to the iPhone and very accurate readings. Nevertheless, for as little as 35 punds, the Sanitas SBM 22 covers all the basics that can be expected by a modern blood pressure monitor such as arrhythmia detection, WHO classification, and a display of average values. In addition, the device features a cuff seat control. It is also a wrist-based device, so this makes it a bit more convenient to test yourself. You could easily carry out this test in a public setting without looking too weird. Being wrist-based it may also be more suitable for people with huge arms, such as weightlifters or obese people. However, this is dependent on your wrist size too, this goes to 21cm which I am not sure if it is large or not, I am cursed with thin girly wrists, so there is plenty of room for me.

The Beurer BM 85 convinces in our review by a comprehensive range of functions. The improvements compared to its "little brother" BM 58 include a resting indicator and a Bluetooth interface for transferring readings to smartphones.
