750 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Garmin cost so much more than other monitors?
Much of the premium reflects the brand and the OLED display, which is rare in this category. The listing does not detail accuracy features beyond the screen, so the value depends on how much you weigh design and brand.
Is an OLED display worth it on a blood pressure monitor?
An OLED screen produces crisp, high contrast numbers that are easy to read. It does not change how the reading is taken, only how it looks. Whether that justifies the higher price is a personal call.
Can this device manage my blood pressure for me?
No. Like any home monitor, it only records your readings so you can track them. Decisions about your health should come from a healthcare professional, and you should never change advised monitoring or treatment on your own.
