BEST Home Blood Pressure Monitor? Omron Evolv vs Withings BPM Connect

Looking for a blood pressure monitor that makes it easier to keep track of your blood pressure? The Withings BPM Connect and the Omron Evolv are two of the most popular "smart" blood pressure machines. They have a lot in common - both connect to apps on your phone to log, track, and interpret your blood pressure. And they can even generate reports you can send to your doctor!
But which one is right for you?
I tested them both, and in this video I share my thoughts on the pros and cons of each one, in the areas that matter: accuracy, design, smart features, battery, and price.

Monitoring blood pressure is vital! (Pun intended) High blood pressure leads to cardiovascular disease - the #1 killer in the world, so finding and treating it can save SO many lives! The problem? Most of us can't feel when our blood pressure is high so the only way to really know is to check it. These 2 BP monitors aim to make it WAY easier to check and track blood pressure which can mean the difference between under-treated hypertension (leading to unnecessary organ damage), or too much medicine (leading to lightheadedness, falls, or worse). I've made individual review videos of each of these machines, so check them out for more details about each one. Feel free to leave a comment below with your thoughts or experiences with either of these machines. Thanks for watching!

Great source of information. Thank you. I received the Withings BPM this morning. I thought I was computer savvy but the material that came with it was useless. The instructions were so light and difficult to see and the print was tiny. The setup coordination between the unit and the APP was not user friendly at all. The band was slow and sloppy putting on and the unit was difficult to put in the right place was cumbersome. I played with it for three hours and when I saw a $9.99 monthly fee I wrapped it back up and it's going back.

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

Excellent report, thank you Dr. Zain! I have the Omron and I love that it is automatic (no stethescope), easy to put on correctly, fast, and accurate. Frankly, I write my BP and BPM data in my daily agenda, so I dont care about the bluetooth or logging functions. And I got my Omron on Ebay for only $60 with free shipping.

I use MedM Health to connect to my evolv. The software connects to a ton of different Bluetooth devices. My Android version works fine. (They do have an apple version but I have never used it.)

MedM does synch to both Apple Health and Google Fit.

[eliott]

Dude this is awesome getting one for myself and my parents.

[DanielMuvdi]

Omron Evolv Android a app works smooth not a single problem, always connected and never fails.

I went with the Evolv because I think is better at reading accurate, is easy to put in your arm by yourself and therefore is a lot more accurate because you placed properly in your arm, they have almost exact same features.

[steventaylor]

your advice was useful. Omron for the win. thanks Dr.

[unclefreddy]

Unlike the majority of people. The OMRON machines both this one and another similar model were very inaccurate for me when compared to a manual reading in the office. (OMRON was +15-20). My theory is the cuff didn’t fit me well, even though my arm isn’t significantly large nor small.

[andreabermeoful]

Which one is best to use with large arms?

[kodurivinod]

Combo machine EKG+BP is much better in my opinion.I have tried Omron machine and it works well

[xpusostomos]

No, on the withings you can select the active user by pressing the button to cycle through.. when you see the right name you long press.

[mmarjisr]

good video I liked it but I have the checkme BP 2 for 3 days now and so far I like how easy to use it

[Lawman]

Thank you for this very polished video. I had an surprise elevated BP reading at my eye exam yesterday, so have resolved to watch my pressure more closely. Yours is the first video I've seen on the topic! I wanted to see one from a doctor, not some AI bot with ten reviews. I have a withings scale at home, and it's a terrific device. Its web logging is fantastic. So I am biased toward Withings. I'm not a fan of that BP readout though. It's strangely illegible. Thanks for all your work.

[fujimotosan]

Omron measures fast, because the Korotkoff frequencies are measured while pumping up. Is the Withings the same or the legacy method?

[jiorphia]

Do you have a video highlighting the best sphygmomanometer for a doctor or nurse? If not, what's your favorite?

[ashalatha]

Sir is Omron Evolv BP machine or Beurer BM81 which is accurate n has versality sir pl suggest i need to buy urgently for my mother sir

[balanceandswing]

Is there a monthly subscription fee for either device in order to perpectually store the readings? Is so, how much?

[xpusostomos]

Withings has perfect synching with Android Health Connect, as far as I know it's the only real choice for proper synching with Google Fit or Samsung Health.

[Dextermorga]

You forgot to mention, that as a user you can replace AAA.
Withings that battery eventually day. You have to trash that thing. So I am all for AAA
