The Garmin Index\u2122 BMP is a device clinically validated for blood pressure and heart rate measurements that automatically syncs your readings to your Garmin Connect. It was launched in the US and the UK in September 2022 but has recently started selling in many more EU countries. Should you consider getting it? What are the main advantages? Let\u2019s take a closer look.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Garmin Index BPM is a simple device when compared to many other Garmin gadgets. It\u2019s been designed to measure your systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as your heart rate using the attached foldable cuff. This is certainly nothing new as home blood pressure monitors have been used for years now. The interesting part of this device is that it doesn\u2019t just show you the results on a built-in screen but also sends them over WiFi to your Garmin Connect account.<\/p>\n

Is the Index BPM accurate and reliable?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Garmin made sure that nobody has any doubts about this gadget from an accuracy perspective. They validated it in a clinical trial. Officially, the Index BPM<\/a> has an accuracy of +\/- 3 mmHg or 2% of readout value for blood pressure value and +\/- 5% of readout value for pulse. This is on par with many other devices for measuring blood pressure at home.<\/p>\n

Looking at reviews, many people report that when compared to popular Omron devices, the readouts are indeed very similar. Still, if your readings are suspiciously high or low, it\u2019s best to consult with your doctor. They can confirm whether the same numbers are showing up on their blood pressure device. If not, then they can help you determine where on your arm you should place the Garmin monitor to get the most accurate readings.<\/p>\n
