Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitoring System

Unless you’re a hypochondriac or someone who goes to the doctor on a regular basis, you probably don’t check your blood pressure often—if at all. There are plenty of wireless blood pressure monitors on the market that work fairly well. If you want to keep track of your daily vitals, however, you’re going to have to manually store them. Sending your results to your physician will also have to be a manual chore. Nowadays, the digital route seems to be the way to go for keeping track of steps, sleep activity, and your vitals. The Withings Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor will help you keep track of your blood pressure and heart rate without being a chore.

When Withings sent this to me for review, I was ecstatic. I’m not a health nut, but I do love digitizing my life, including my health.

Specifications

Before we get into the rest of the review, here are the specs for the blood pressure monitor, as advertised by Withings.

Instead, the motor is housed alongside the cuff. You’ll be disappointed if you’re looking for a variety of colors The monitor only comes in one color option: white exterior with a green lining on the underside. It’s aesthetically pleasing, giving it a modern, relatively high-tech look.

The blood pressure monitor itself lacks a display for your readings. Your smartphone (or tablet) will handle those, as long as it’s an iOS or Android device—sorry Windows Phone users. On top, you have the single power button (which also enables Bluetooth automatically), and on the bottom the battery cover. On the side is a discreetly located microUSB port, allowing you to attach the included USB adapter for wired use.
