The sleeve is poorly designed making it difficult to fit correctly, and gives results that are different than two other monitors. Takes twice as long to complete an X3 reading as my other battery powered monitor. Cannot configure the monitor from the phone app - must be done from the monitor, which is wonky.
I bought the Withings monitor to replace a QardioArm monitor which I liked, but died after 9 months, so had reliability issues.
The only positive that I encountered with the Withings is that it has a rechargeable battery, so you won't have to replace the batteries every couple of months, which was necessary with the QardioArm (I use the monitor daily). That being said, the Withings is much slower to take an X3 measurement than the QardioArm. On average, 2m3s for the QardioArm vs. 4m25s for the Withings. I made sure the Withings was charged to 100% each time.
It is difficult to put the sleeve on and get it to fit properly. Note: the sleeve on the monitor I received does not appear to be the same sleeve shown on the Withings site. The sleeve is much thinner than my other monitors and does not hold its shape well when trying to insert your arm. Because of this, you compensate by making the sleeve opening larger, but this makes it challenging to tighten the sleeve after you insert your arm, using your chin to hold the monitor while cinching with your right hand. I'm not sure if sleeve fit issues are to blame, but the readings from the Withing differ from readings on the QardioArm and an electric Omron monitor (up to 5 higher on both sys and dia).
While Withings has an app (Health Mate), you cannot use the app to configure the monitor for things such as taking 3 readings (which my cardiologist recommends) instead of a single reading. It is ridiculous to have smartphone capabilities, but require someone to cycle through pressing buttons with long and short duration in order to set the monitor up. Similar design flaw to the Withings scale that I have which requires you to press a button on the bottom to set units instead of being able to set via the app like other smart scales.

BPM Connect vs. BPM Core : lequel choisir ?
Reviewed in France on November 20, 2019
J'ai fait l'acquisition des deux modèles de tensiomètres connectés de Withings, le BPM Connect (entrée de gamme, 99€) et le BPM Core (haut de gamme, 249€), ce qui me permet de vous livrer une revue complète et comparative, qui je l'espère vous aidera à choisir le bon modèle, pour ceux qui comme moi ont longtemps hésité entre l'un et l'autre (notamment à cause du prix).Reviewed in France on November 20, 2019
Voici en synthèse les pour et contre du BPM Connect :
✅ L'appairage est super facile, il suffit de connecter son mobile en bluetooth au tensiomètre et de suivre le guide pas à pas via l'application propriétaire HealthMate de Withings.
✅ L'écosytème Withings est très intégré (Application HealthMate, regroupant les mesures de tous les appareils Withings : balances, montres, capteur de sommeil, thermomètre, tensiomètre...) et permet d'enregistrer toutes les mesures et les présenter sous forme de graphiques avec tout l'historique accessible sur l'application ou via internet sur le site de Withings.
✅ Les données collectées par l'appareil sont toutes utilisables et stockables également sur l'application Santé/Health d'Apple, et donc partageables avec les applications santés les plus populaire (comme TactioSanté par exemple)
✅ Le BPM Connect est très compact car le brassard est fin, souple, et peu s'enrouler autour de l'unité principale.
✅ L'autonomie a l'air plus que satisfaisante (elle est annoncée pour 6 mois par Withings)
✅ Possibilité de switcher entre une mesure unique ou 3 mesures d'affilée d'une simple pression sur le bouton
✅ Batterie intégrée rechargeable, et donc pas de piles à remplacer tous les 4 matins ;)
✅ Les mesures sont conformes, c'est quand même le plus important !!
❌ Le brassard est beaucoup, beaucoup trop long... ce n'est pas très pratique lorsqu'il s'agit de le fixer autour du bras
❌ L'affichage est trop limité en largeur (économies sur les coûts de fabrication, je suppose) : seulement 4 caractères sont affichables, au delà cela défile...
❌ Aucune housse n'est fournie avec le produit pour le protéger lors du transport ou du rangement !
❌ Le prix, même à 99€, reste très élevé comparé aux appareils concurrents. Certes il y a le design en plus, mais est ce que cela vaut le double ??? A vous de juger.
🔹 DIFFERENCES entre les deux produits en un coup d'oeil :
- Le BPM Connect est très compact et le brassard s'enroule autour, donc il peut s'emporter partout. Le BPM Core est beaucoup plus encombrant, d'autant que le brassard n'est pas souple (il ne pourra pas s'enrouler autour du cylindre, vous pouvez voir la différence sur les photos fournies en annexe de ce commentaire...)
- Le BPM Connect ne prend QUE la tension et le rythme cardique. Le BPM Core fournit en plus l'ECG, l'enregistrement du son du coeur (stéthoscope électronique), et permet de détecter les anomalies cardiaques (valvulopathie, fibrillation auriculaire)
- Le BPM Connect dispose d'un affichage numérique non tactile de 4 caractères seulement, le BPM Core est beaucoup plus lisible puisqu'il en propose 8 caractères mais il est surtout tactile (ce qui permet par exemple de choisir à quel utilisateur attribuer la mesure quand le tensiomètre est partagé.
Vous avez donc tous les éléments pour faire votre choix en parfaite connaissance de cause.
Perso, j'ai décidé de garder le BPM Core (l'autre modèle donc), plus complet, malgré son prix encore plus délirant.
