BPM Core

Fantastic blood pressure monitor that effortlessly records my statistics to Apple Health via their app. Unlike most monitors I don’t feel like my arm is being ripped off, the pressure is fairly gentle. Connecting to my phone is effortless and the app is well put together. There’s also a 3 reading mode completely ruling out the need to get a calculator and average your readings.

Bought this to replace a dodgy Chinese one that never showed correct results. Got this on Amazon prime day with price reduced and a good buy as I needed a good one to monitor my blood pressure and to do a ECG which gives excellent results with the app showing everything in good detail results. With it can see how my blood pressure is doing and ECG keeping a check on heart so I recommend this to anyone who needs to keep their heart and blood pressure under control.

It is very good and pretty dumb too. It operates flawlessly and seems to do what it says on the label. It is of a good quality construction. It uses a Micro USB for charging, a legacy fitting which is far less substantial than USB C. They need some care so as not to damage them. Why do this on such an expensive product? More seriously... My old Withings BPM would fire up the app on the phone and I could see the results as they came in and then decide whether I needed a further reading. It is easy to use a phone to control the procedure. This device does not do that. This device can be used separately from the app and no phone is needed. The readings go straight to your account in the cloud and they are on you phone the next time you open the app. That is nice. However it does not show its progress on the app and you have to crane your neck around to read the readout on the device. That is very uncomfortable. This device so desperately needs to show its progress in the app especially as choices need to be made as the procedure progresses. These choices are entered by swiping the tube on the device, or holding the metal part with your other hand for heart readings. But you have to crane your neck to see when to do that. The app desperately needs an upgrade for this.

The cuff is a generous size, which was my main concern. It took me a couple of attempts initially to place it properly for the reading to work, but never had a problem since. The only problem I has was interpreting the instructions from the web page properly. Probably me being dim. The key point to note is once the reading has finished a line of dashes appears. To change the user to another person registered on the device you need to swipe on the line until the chosen user's name appears. The battery life appears to be very good. I have used it twice a day for about 7 weeks on 1 initial charge and it is still showing 68% full. A good bit of kit. Glad I spent the money.

Overall the your blood pressure reading and ECG. This is excellent. But the stethoscope is pointless. It never records anything and is always inconclusive. Even with the latest firmware 841. It still doesn’t record anything. My Apple Watch can do an ECG as can a few other watches. Personally I’d save the money and buy Withings cheaper blood pressure only machine. Save your money if your buying this for all the feature.

Previously purchased the Withings Scales (Core) which is fabulous but had to send the BP Monitor (Core) back. Could not (having spent hours trying) get multiple users to connect & then it got stuck on ECG mode. Just too much hassle & hugely frustrating. Tried online FAQs.

Am very disappointed with the product! I bought blood pressure machine from Boots & it lasted me ten years & it only cost me £50. I spend £159 with this product & it only lasted for two years. It’s a lots money for it to last just two years.

I've tested this product thoroughly. There are some serious failings which are inherent in the software and hardware. Setting up is a real pain. The unit powers down throughout the process which means you have to start and repeat all over again. I've found this was a problem with the Withings scales as well. Eventually you get there, but it's all very hit an miss, and very time consuming, and you wouldn't expect this from such an expensive, premium product. The most important fault is that the digital stethoscope/heart sound analysis doesn't work. This is something you see everywhere on the net, with people complaining. The readout just reads "Sound data is processing" even after 20+ readings. I had a clear audio signal (which I could hear on the recording), but the digital stethoscope software fails to analyse them. If you contact support you receive a detailed set of guidelines, some of which conflict with other Withings guidelines. It smacks of desperation and clearly demonstrates that well, it SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. The training guide doesn't work. You're meant to be able to start training with a long press of the button (selecting Training and start), which then triggers the app to begin showing instructions and tips. The unit fails to connect to the app, and then powers off. Again, not what you'd expect from a premium priced product.

Very easy to use, with quick blood pressure testing, then straight to ECG test which is a real bonus over virtually every other BP monitor. Great product design too. This is real innovation and, in my opinion, worth the higher price.

Great product

Funda ideal para el tendulmetro whidings

Fonctionne nickel, complet. Application impec, dommage pour le côté commercial de l app.

Estoy sorprendido con este tensiómetro core de whidings. Calidad de mediciones. Fiable. App whidings de escándalo, que te aporta toda la información/datos de las mediciones, incluidas otras apps que se pueden integrar en Withings. La recomiendo totalmente, aunque no es barata, respecto a la competencia (ej osram). Pero si tienes iPhone, se integra perfectamente con iOS.
