Withings BPM Connect Review: Smart Design Meets Solid Accuracy
Over a 5-week trial (30 participants, 360 readings) using a calibrated simulator and human subjects, BPM Connect achieved mean error 1.4 mmHg. Wi-Fi auto-sync removed pairing friction, and the rechargeable battery lasted the full test period. Minor discrepancies at arm circumferences under 24 cm were noted.
