Omron 5 Series Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

I have monitored my blood pressure for years using an older Omron model. I purchased the wrist model as it would be easy to travel with but wondered about it's accuracy. So I bought this one for home use. It is easy to use, and both models are within just a couple of points if I use them both. It paired easily with my smart phone syncs quickly after taking your blood pressure. The app provides the option of adding notes which are useful for your physician. I printed out my report for my last appointment with my cardiologist and she was very impressed. As a matter of fact, she was so impressed with the report and information I provided through the app's printout she asked me what bp monitor I was using and told me she will be recommending it to other patients who monitor at home. My mother recently bought a new monitor and hers not only doesn't have a phone app so she has to hand log her readings and it is larger and bulky for her to use. This one is so simple, just place it on your upper arm and press start. It takes up little space and I personally believe with the right case it will be just as easy to travel with as the wrist one I bought originally. I would definitely recommend the Omron Series 5 for anyone who wants an accurate reading of their blood pressure whether or not you have health issues. I have no doubt that if you don't have a blood pressure/health issue, using this bp monitor and keeping a log will give you a headstart on treatment options if you develop an issue.

This was recommended by my doctor to track my daily BP. I installed the app on my phone and can make comments on the reading. All was easy to set up. I really like that I can track my BP and take it along to show my doctor rather than keeping a paper source. It also shows if I have an irregular heartbeat, which now my doctor is checking out further.

I've had a few Moron BP devices before but this one impresses me the most, all with a reasonable price with all the easy to use & read interface. The automatic daily average readings and the ease of wireless connection to my iPhone, and the all so professional PDF report that I am able to send to my doctor every week just make my life so much easier. Even my doctor is impressed by the details and analysis of the report the program sends her, directly from my iPhone. Great price. Not overly complicated. East to use and details perfect for physician report. Perfect for me. Nothing more. Go for THIS ONE if you're still going crazy comparing all the other models out there like I did before for weeks! Stay healthy with ease and peace of mind people.

The display is clear to read and easy to use. The size if the cuff is snug for plus size arms but still reads well. The value and performance are top notch for this brand. It keeps up with the memory and transfer by Bluetooth allowing for tracking from home. Worth the price and you can monitor you bp every day. Recommened not to talk during readings and with 30 mins after eating, drinking or light activity to take reading.

I'm a heart patient and need to take my bp a lot. I've been using this machine for 3-4 weeks now. Having it record everything to my phone with bluetooth has been well worth the higher price tag over more basic machines. The Omron app has a lot of features past what I'm going to mention—for the sake of this review, I'm only mentioning ones that you'd encounter most often with Omron's blood pressure monitors (as this app does interface with other Omron medical equipment). Pros: Pairing the machine with my phone was quick and easy. Doing so set the date and time automatically. The machine records results to the Omron app by itself, keeping track of both your bp and pulse. The app keeps a list and a chart, allowing you to switch between views. The list allows you to add a note to any measurement so you can make note of symptoms or maybe something you ate prior to a measurement. The chart will average any measurements taken within 10 minutes of each other (the list will still show individual measurements). You can also use the chart to view daily, weekly, and even monthly averages. You can use the app to set goals, make reminders, keep a diary (this seems redundant with the notes feature), and even send results to your doctor. If you don't want to view measurements in the app for whatever reason, you can still view results and history on the screen of the machine with the press of a button. If the app doesn't automatically sync a new measurement because it has lost its bluetooth connection, there's a way to input measurements manually (it's surprisingly pretty convenient for manual entry). Pains: The pains are by no means deal breakers and are annoying at most. The machine doesn't always stay paired if you have to restart your phone for any reason. Resyncing CAN be as simple as pressing the button in the app, but it's not a guaranteed fix—I've had to tell the machine to re-pair using its buttons at least once or twice. If the machine is not paired with your phone, it obviously will not record measurements. Luckily, this issue is easy to avoid/fix though, once you're aware of it. Because of this, I've given the machine a 4.5 for ease of use. The app is a bit annoying however, constantly giving me insight notifications despite disabling them in the settings. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product, even despite the occasional annoyances. Dealing with them beats having to record everything manually again. I'd happily buy it again.

This B.P. monitor has been working perfectly, the app as well. Easy to understand and navigate all the readings and charts you can even email to yourself or anyone all the readings.
