I am looking for inexpensive good smart blood pressure monitor.
It would be nice if it can directly sync to Google fit. However, it would cost around $100. The sync function itself is $80. It is too expensive.
I also saw many smart BP monitors on Amazon with very high rating, but all their customers complain the apps.
I am buying a new one to replace the 'non smart' one. So I want the new one with good smart function.
Useless commentary right here.
Helping point someone in the right direction is useless?
I think the most accurate way for all of this is the traditional method. But if you want a smartwatch you could watch some of his videos Quantified Scientist where he tries all this watches making scientific test to know if they are really accurate or not.
Yes. You are speaking as if non-smart products are the only BIFL products and that's wholly wrong. This is not the luddite subreddit, this is BIFL. Do some non-smart products suck ass? Yes. Do some smart products suck ass? Yes.
As to this topic, which was just recently debated, the overall opinion was that any BP monitor that is integrated into another smart device like a smart watch sucks and users should use a dedicated BP monitor. This is the advice OP needs to hear as they apparently think use via an app is a good thing. And its not in this use case.
The title of the sub is buy it for life, not buy it for two years until the software is outdated and the product is un-usable forcing you to buy the latest version.
I don’t understand your point.
You are obfuscating the title for the meaning, read rule 1 here.
And regardless of your opinion on the matter, this sub recommends smart or non-smart products based on lifespan then use case. In this use case, and this one only, the hivemind says get a standalone unit. That doesn't mean that a smart heartbeat monitor or smart bloodsugar monitor doesn't exist...just in this use case that its not wise for a BP monitor.
And if you are the type of person that thinks that all smart things are designed to explode in 2 years with no resolution other than a new purchase, we should not be conversing.
Honestly I am someone who has to track daily right now due to health reasons and will move back to weekly in a couple weeks. And I use a digital display Omron and plug the data manually into my phone. The Omron we have is the cheapest no frills option from Walmart and it’s over 10 years old and going strong.
If you have any health considerations, AHA recommends taking your home bp monitor to your doc once a year to make sure it’s within the range of what they’re getting.
Depends on the health concerns someone may have. Some folks do go through periods of needing to check it a lot.
Maybe you can find one smart bp device on Wellue Store. You can search "getwellue" on Google, then you can find it. I have bought some devices like a smart scale, a wifi blood pressure monitor. Their bp cuff is smart and of good quality. It is easy to use with a one-button operation. Also, some of their bp monitors can rack EKG. The bp data can be synced to a free-used APP to generate reports via Bluetooth or wifi network. The price is lower than $100. I bought it when it was on sale, and I used a 30% discount code--BP30. I am not sure if the code is valid.
Very few things that connect to a smartphone today will still function correctly in forty years. That's just how it is. Therefore, it isn't BIFL.

I think you’re in the wrong sub. The whole point to a sub like this is to buy non-smart products that are outdated and don’t work in a year.
