HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- 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.
And if you want to check out my individual reviews of each of the machines, check out the links below!

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!
In the UK: Omron Evolv 5 year warranty / Withings BPM Connect 2 year warranty.
I went with the Omron, and I'm pleased. Your video helped me decide.
After many tests throughout the day, the results are tight. My old machine was all over the place. Setting up the app was easy, and it pushed the results to the app automatically. I didn't have to press the sync button.
Glad to help. And happy to know you’re staying on top of your health
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.
Thanks for watching. And thanks for the feedback. Someone else in the comments was able to find a way to use it without the fee but I totally understand the frustration. You definitely want to have reliable home medical equipment that's easy to use.
Dude this is awesome getting one for myself and my parents.
Thank you for watching! Let me know how you all like it!
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.
Thanks for your feedback and your very kind words! I really appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. If there's anything else you'd like to see a video about feel free to let me know.
your advice was useful. Omron for the win. thanks Dr.
Anytime! Thanks for watching
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.
Awesome! Thanks so much for watching! Glad you got a good deal and are keeping track of your heart health!
I love the omrom with my galaxy 24
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
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.
MedM seems great! I hadn't heard of it before so thanks a lot for your comment
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
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Which one is best to use with large arms?
which one gives most accurate readings , has those units checked using biomedical test units , bcz all those units got one pressure transducer , very low in accuracy, checked it with your mercury bps accuracy level
Combo machine EKG+BP is much better in my opinion.I have tried Omron machine and it works well
thanks Dr..
Always welcome, thank you for watching
Hi doctor zain, i would like to know that the WITHINGS BPM comes with power code adpater and usb cable right..
I mean we can use the machine either by battery or else charging to direct current!
Mine did
Mine did not come with adapter only usb micro cable.
You can get A micro cable and and plug for about £3 $3
A birthday present to myself!
Happy birthday!! 🎉🎂
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.
Glad you were able to find out it wasn't accurate for you. You definitely want a machine that you can rely on.
I had the same issue.
@@lauraforro just to follow up I replaced it with another OMRON (model 3 I think), but with the non preformed cuff and it is much better now
Omron measures fast, because the Korotkoff frequencies are measured while pumping up. Is the Withings the same or the legacy method?
From what I found, it's the oscillometric method
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8967988/
Ir what about Beurer BM81 wireless BP monitor ? Is this better than Omron Evov BP monitor?
I'm not sure - I haven't looked into that one. Regardless of what you get I recommend having your doctor's office check the accuracy of your particular machine.
Is there a monthly subscription fee for either device in order to perpectually store the readings? Is so, how much?
Withings charging £8.99 a month, silly money and the device costing £220 to buy, there a lot cheaper options
@@nofalelias Thanks. I don't know WHY reviewers don't mention this fee unless they receive a kickback from the manufacturer. Grrrr.
@@balanceandswing Withings replied to my complian and showed me how to access my historical BP readings for free, is not as straight forward as before but neverthless, I can see it without having to pay monthly subscriptions
Glad you found a way to do it
I have a omron series 7 , 20 times tested , 20 times different reading , I don’t know wichone is better?
Blood pressure can fluctuate based on a lot of factors so that might be the reason. Check out my video on how to check blood pressure. You should also take it to your doctor’s office to check it against theirs
This might be good information, but the music is too much. I had to turn it off.
How about Garmin?
I would call out the privacy concern with the Whiting as all your readings go through their server! Why should this be necessary??? I don't want to get spammed with blood pressure medications! BTW, I would prefer it if you didn't have background music while you are talking. Thanks for an informative video.
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
I like to see that you’re drawing your line in the sand. As long as you’re working on improving your health the best way you can, that’s what matters
What about accuracy???
I always recommend people bring their blood pressure machine to the doctor's office to have it checked against the clinic's. Just because my particular unit was accurate does not mean that they all are.
Omron wins hands down.
And i cant bet my withings to connect at all. NO SUPPORT from withings.
Sorry to hear that
Still no lithium ion batteries for these things yet lol? Wow lol
