Reviews for Withings Smart Blood Pressure Monitor

I've used this product for over six months and it has worked flawlessly. I use it with the Withings iPad app which has a sleek and simple user interface that visualizes my historical blood pressure measurements.

I paired the blood pressure monitor with the Withings body scale. The iPad app has allowed me to see a correlation between weight reduction (and exercise) and improved blood pressure readings.

Overall this product is a nice tool to help with an overall health & fitness plan.

I would have never believed that I would enjoy a blood pressure monitor, but this model by Withings has changed my mind. Every morning and evening, I check my BP and it stores all of my scans. The charts are easily accessible and easy to read. The product should really be showcased on a stand at the Apple store so that the quality can be viewed first hand. From the images on the Internet, the cuff seemed small and low grade, but after I opened the box, I was pleased to see that it was solid and was built to go a long ways.

Two things I would recommend to keep in mind ...
1. The only email setting is for the original user that is set up.
2. The original 30 pin connection doesn't work in the new iPhones, iPads, and iPods. I haven't tested an adapter yet.

I had one of these BP cuffs and sent it back. It's made extremely well and the iPhone and iPad app is great;however, the sensor in the cuff is very difficult to place in the exact position even after watching the video and reading the documentation. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, even if I had it on my arm and didn't touch it.. When it worked it worked perfectly and accurately, just couldn't get the thing put on my arm correctly 100%. Hope this helps someone else. .

I purchased this device 2 weeks ago, my wife & I use it on our indivual iPad. Loved it until she took it to the doctor with her & they testedi it. Was told it was not accurate, numbers were too high. Proved it to her by taking pressure with there equipment. It took the trust out of the device, at least until i see an update come out that states "More Accurate than last update".

Beautiful design, but finicky operation. Too many errors stating to refit the cuff and try again, even though I had followed the instructions carefully. Readings were inconsistent with other BP cuffs.

This product is hardly usable as the cord length is about a foot. How are you supposed to let your i-device rest and not hold if you are taking your blood pressure at the same time?

Cord needs to be at least 2 to 3 feet long so you can rest the i-device and sit down at a table at the same time.

Very poor design.

This device can measure and track normal readings. It cannot detect anything out of the ordinary. It records high readings as normal. So, you never know when you are experiencing something that requires further medical attention. If you have heart problems, stay away from this device; it could cost you your life or result in a stroke. I went into atrial fibrillation with an irregular heart rate of 110. The Withings device registered 48. Fortunately, I have another device that is more accurate in its readings. I kept comparing readings to my disappointment with the Withings. I now use it as a paper weight. With my medical condition I can't afford to trust it.

Looked at several others but liked the compatibility with ipad and iphone. Very accurate, compact and great design. Money well spent.

Created a Withings account through their IOS app. Account data is sync'd to their server and can be accessed via any IOS device. Great interface via the iPhone or iPad. Blood pressure cuff can be use on adults and children without too much issue. Had to run the test 2x on the kids arms to get a reading, which could have been just a cuff alignment issue. Would definitely recommend this BPM to everyone with an IOS device.
