It’s incredibly easy to use, and the built-in display is clear and convenient. The data syncs seamlessly with my Garmin app, making it easy to track my blood pressure over time.

Only 1 reading allowed per day; your data is held hostage by sleazy company
I really wanted to like this, but Garmin’s sleazy policies on access to your data — and their misleading advertising — ruined it.I got this to track my blood pressure. I use apple health for everything else and Garmin advertises that this will pass your blood pressure data to Apple Health. However what they don’t tell you is that they will only allow you to do so for 1 reading per day. Many people who are watching their blood pressure take a morning and mid-day reading (and some do an evening reading as well). Garmin will only let you sync the last reading of each day into Apple Health(!) and if you have previously synched (e.g., after the morning reading but before mid-day), then Garmin will GO IN AND DELETE YOUR EARLIER READING(S) FROM APPLE HEALTH when you take another. What’s worse is that this is apparently intentional behavior according to Garmin Tech Support. (I can only assume that they are trying to make it harder to use their products within the Apple ecosystem as some sort of sleazy competitive (anti-competitive?) tactic to try to sell their watches instead of Apple’s?). This is appalling!As a further note on architecture, this product ONLY works if you give your private health data to Garmin. Yes there’s an iPhone app (that’s how the data passes into Apple HealthKit), but this device must first send a copy of your data to Garmin’s servers via WiFi (and they will keep a copy) and then your iPhone app (“Garmin Connect”) will (sometimes) download it and then (sometimes) pass it into Apple Health. In addition to meaning (a) this product only works with an internet connection and (b) you’re giving your PRIVATE health data to a company without a good record on data custodianship, I’ve also found that In my experience this process is only semi-reliable: I usually have (1) take a reading, (2) wait about 3-5 minutes, (3) open Garmin Connect, (4) Close and restart Garmin Connect one or two times, and (5) wait another 1-2 minutes, before the data shows up in Apple Health. (And, as previously mentioned, Garmin Connect will (maliciously?) delete any previous entries it has put into Apple Health that day in order to enforce the 1-reading-per-day limit outside of the Garmin “ecosystem”.) Alternatives, like Omron (which has it’s own problems too) do not have any of these limitations.Note also that if you do use Garmin Connect (rather than Apple Health) to view your data, Garmin carefully forbids importing any data from Apple->Garmin. Despite a public HealthKit API that Garmin Connect could use to, e.g., auto-import blood pressure readings (or other things like weight or resting heart rate) that you had manually or otherwise entered into Apple Health, Garmin will apparently only allow the data into their app (and therefore to be included in their health analyses like “Fitness Age”) if your have recorded it using a purchased-from-Garmin device.I really wish this company would try to compete by making better products rather than by holding your data hostage 🙁

Very pleased with this. Links with Garmin connect on my phone and I have the watch and scales. I use myfitnesspal and it links up too. Very pleased with it as it does 3 readings one minute apart and uses that

Doesn’t check for AFIB.Doesn’t sync to Garmin Connect as easily as watches do.Limited functionality compared to brands dedicated to manufacturing BP machines.
