Withings - BPM Vision - Smart Arm Blood Pressure Monitor - Gray

The BPM Vision Blood Pressure monitor is a high quality device, easy to setup and use, as well as precise and app friendly. From the moment I opened the box I could tell how careful the makers were with both the packaging and the design of the device, which says a lot about the manufacturer. The design is simple. I like the white color they used because it makes it look very professional and reliable. The storage case is elegant and sturdy. The setup process is easy, and the device and the app are very user friendly. Basically what comes in the box is: The Blood Pressure Monitor Storage Case USB-a to USB-c cable Get Started Guide Product Guide Manual The BPM comes with enough charge to power on and start using it right away. The Quick Guide has the QR code that will guide you through a step by step process to install the app, create an account, pair your phone with the unit vi BT, and connect to wifi. During the setup process it will ask you for your height, weight, DOB, name, email, and it will also offer the option to integrate it with another app/tool called “Health Scan” which I skipped as well as the multi-factor authentication steps. The setup process won’t take more than 6 minutes. If you have never used a BPM monitor before, the step by step process will guide you on how to do it through the app. My phone is an android, and the “Withings” app was available in my play store. I didn’t have any connectivity issues with the BP pairing or wifi setting for firmware updates. I can only say good things about the Withings BPM vision. The operation is very intuitive. I found it very clever that the design is a separate cuff/monitor connected by a tube. The cuff is standard size, which is 8.7in-16.5in, but there is an optional XL cuff for bigger sizes. It doesn’t come with a “Power cable”, you will have to get a Power adapter for the included USB-c cable adapter to charge the device. I think that is the way to go nowadays on all these devices since it’s more practical to carry one Power adapter to charge the USB-c devices, like iPads and iPhones since it is a standard rather than having different ones for each device. The operation is pleasantly quiet, compared to other units I have had over the years. Sometimes it was stressful to hear to pump and the feel of the cuff inflating on my arm, and because of that I was always getting inaccurate readings a little higher so I had to repeat the process several times to make sure I was getting an accurate measure. The good thing is that you have the option to use the unit for Blood Pressure readings without the app, so it is not app dependable like other devices. The app can integrate with other health application tools and it has the option to generate reports to share your data with you heath care provider or family/friend via a web link, which is a nice feature. My brother in law is a doctor and I can easily send my BP info to him via this tool. The link will be active for seven days and it also allows you to select what you want to share including activity, body, nutrition, heart, etc. The link that contains your personal medical information can be set by you to expire in the time frame you wish. The link can last as long as you want it to. It can last 24 hours, one week, or even a month before it’s automatically deactivated and the link can also be sent via email. To access advance features with the Withings app, like data analysis and recommendations, it will require a subscription. I think the size and weight of the unit is appropriate, it feels portable and it’s very good looking. The 2.8” high-resolution LCD screen is beautiful, very clear to read and with soft colors. It only has 4 Buttons, Power on the right, and 3 Buttons for the screen option which is navigate and selections. It shows your name and you can select to store your data in your profile in the app, or you can select the “guest” option. The measurement process, is quick, not painful or uncomfortable. At the end, the screen will show by colors the range of risk of your reading. The unit can take either one measurement or what it is called “TripleTrust”. On the LCD screen it will show as “Blood Pressure x3” which reads your blood pressure three times to get the most accurate readings. The readings are very accurate. I tested several times using the “Triple Trust” measure and always got the result of the first reading, so I am confident that the first reading is always reliable. I was curious about the two metal contacts on the top of the unit on the left and right side. After some research I found out that those are a design for a future ECG lead feature. So “if” they release that feature in the future via firmware update it would be great. The Withings BPM Vision is a wonderful BP measure. I really feel I can trust my BP monitoring with this device with confidence. It’s easy to use and it’s useful for recording historical health data and sharing options. It is a well thought out design with future upgrade options.

The Withings BPM Vision is an great device for checking your blood pressure and keeping a record of your results. It comes with a very nice travel and storage case that makes it easy to keep all of the components together and store it when not in use. I love how it syncs with the Withings app so you can easily view and keep a record of your blood pressure readings right on your phone. And, if you want to share your readings with a doctor or other trusted individual, you can easily share a health report from the app that shows your readings over a specified period of time. This is an excellent piece of hardware. It feels like a really well-built device that gets accurate and high quality readings, just as you would get with any traditional blood pressure monitor. I love how this unit not only gives you your blood pressure readings, but it also shows you a scale indicating if the readings are good or not (green, yellow, or red). I also love that this device has a USB C port which makes charging easy and convenient. My only complaint with this device is related to the instructions on how to use it for the first time. This was my first blood pressure monitor and I was not very familiar with how to use the cuff. The instructions were very poor in explaining how to unravel the cuff and put it on your arm. After some trial and error, I realized you have to slide open the cuff where the metal piece is and put your arm through the opening. This was not clear, and the directions both in the app and in videos posted by Withings did not provide clear instructions on how to use the cuff properly. Just a very basic video showing how to open up the cuff and put it on your arm would have made using this device much easier. Now that I understand how to use the cuff properly, it is very easy to use and put on my arm. Hopefully Withings will create an instruction video in the future that clearly shows how to put the cuff on your arm for those that may not know how. Overall, this is an excellent piece of equipment that I highly recommend. For anyone looking for a good quality blood pressure monitor that also connects to an app and allows for easy recording and monitoring of blood pressure readings, this is a great option.

With a history of high blood pressure in my family and weight issues in my past, I've tried out a few BP monitoring devices over the years. They worked - mostly - but were always difficult to set up and didn't keep a history so I ended up not using them regularly. But the WIthings BPM Vision makes it so easy I think I've finally found a device I can stick with long term. It's quiet, comfortable and has easy to follow step by step instructions right on the device's screen, which is bright and easy to read. Combined with the software, I can get a reading in minutes and track my BP over time, which is really important. Pairing the device with the software was foolproof and worked the first attempt. I also like that Withings has a pretty complete API so I can use that data in other programs like my HomeAssistant smart home management program. This not only gives me the ability to gather history but also display the data in graphs and tables. If I had to find any fault, it would be their odd security methods. You can set up a username and password for your Withings account, but every time you open the app to log in, it sends a code to your chosen email account and it does this even if you choose to login with a username/password combo. So you end up logging in fine, but you have to go and delete the emailed code that you didn't choose in the first place. I understand that they are doing this to offer you more security, but I feel that if I choose not to use it, it shouldn't clutter up my email with code sends. Fortunately this only happens if you log out of the program or don't use it for a long time, so it's a small annoyance to be sure. It's just confuses me why they made that choice in the first place. Other than that, if you need to keep track of your BP or just want to keep a handle on your health metrics, it would be difficult to find a better choice than Withings BPM Vision.

First impression was the main unit is sleek and modern looking and comes in a nice travel case. It came almost fully charged so turn it on to start the setup and connection to the Withings app which I already have due to owning a scale and the older BPM Connect. Setup and connection to WiFi and the pp went smoothly with no issues. Since I already had and account user names were already on the screen after the setup was complete. Adjusting the cuff for the first reading I found the Velcro to have a good grip and the standard cuff it shipped with was a good fit for my arm. Starting the reading the first thing I noticed was the BPM Vision is much quieter than the BPM connect while inflating the cuff. The display on the main unit is easy to read with good sized numbers for BP and HR and has a nice colored bar indicting where your results land. The results instantly showed up in the Withings app and also synced right to the Apple Health app putting all necessary health info in one easy to access app Overall we’re impressed with the BPM Vision and wil be using it on a regular basis both at home and when traveling.

I don’t currently suffer from high blood pressure, thank God, but I am diabetic. Unfortunately, high blood pressure can develop in the future for those with diabetes, so having the Withings blood pressure monitor is essential for my everyday wellness journey. Upon opening the box, I appreciated the well built design of the monitor. It comes in a hard shell case that offers excellent protection from falls. The large cuff fits me just right, charging cable but no wall adapter. The monitor is very quiet when inflating. It’s also super lightweight and compact. The accompanying app is a must have, it’s loaded with valuable information and helps track all your blood pressure readings. You can even share your blood pressure reports with your doctor easy as 1,2,3. The app also provides guidance on how to take your blood pressure correctly and what to avoid to prevent false readings. Additionally, you can add up to eight users, allowing everyone in the family to keep track of their readings, and detect on time possible high bp levels. This is such a great monitor that gives me quick results without any issues.
