BP4M vs BP5K which is more accurate? What is the difference?

Not sure. I have the BP4M, it is pretty accurate, + or - within 5 points of a manual BP. I hope that helps a little.

The most accurate would be a manual arm cuff. As far as digital, I feel that the wrist and arm cuff are similar.

When I compare it to the Treadmill reading they are about the same while in exercise mode. I think for the most part the hear monitor is as accurate as most...don't think it could be considered medical grade, but seems pretty accurate for everyday use.

The heart rate monitor is not the only difference between the 205 and 305. The 305 supports auxilary devices with the ANT+ interface. The heart rate monitor is one such device. Other supported ANT+ interface devices are a cadence meter for biking and a foot pod for running (allows speed and distance to be calculated without GPS reception, or on a tread mill).

It has 7 increments but they are pretty small. Really you wouldn't be able to tell a difference between 4mm and 5mm.

No. I have not found this meter to be very accurate. The Accutrend Plus seems to be more accurate.

Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit. It has sensors on the back and will track movement better (not sure about cycling) but I walked/ran a 5k a few weeks ago and it broke down the minutes I walked versus ran and gave stats on the sync. It is very accurate on the heart rate as I just had an cardio stress test and compared this at the doctor's office and it was right on (within 1 digit). I highly recommend this device and the features online to create "habits" to keep you motivated are fun too. I only wish it had an alarm to buzz you to remind you to do your habit....but overall for the $ it beats the fitbit hands down. Being a former fitbit owner, I love, love, love this over the fitbit.

Really no difference. The Withings 'PULSE' that I own communicates with the iPhone app by Bluetooth on demand. I believe the newer versions communicate automatically without the need to initiate an upload. Functionality for medical measurements are identical.

I have no idea of comparisons. Would suggest contacting a medical technician.

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

They both have an automatic reader and same cuff size. Only difference I see is the 5 is able to store readings for 2 people. I just store my readings on a app on my phone I can email my doctor.

I'd say YES , if you are in a band. Personally , I think mc5 is good enough for monitoring just like as er4s or p . Just there is a little tiny difference.

I don't think you have a choice with the Nonin Go2 and my primary concern is accuracy. I have checked the Nonin Go2 against the ones used by various health providers and it is very accurate. Two of the less expensive ones I tried are worse than useless as give misleading info.

Docs USED to say that about 5 years ago according to an NIH paper. However, the error was negligible and predictable. The result is all modern home units, wrist and arm, are equally compatible and accurate if used as indicated. Note that ALL Omron wrist units are considered to be solely for home use according to Omron. There's a slight variance in accuracy from professional units.In that taking a BP using the ausculatory method (read old style) is still pretty idiosyncratic, unless you're doing serious, time-critical cardio monitoring, you'll probably be just fine with the wrist units.

First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor. I never could get the arm monitor adjusted correctly on my upper arm. Also it is known, you BP is not always the same in both arms. Wrist Blood one says to put on right wrist, based on the readings and if you didn't put it on right, you will definitely get a weird reading or it won't take at all, it will say there is an error. Also you should take BP reading right after you have eaten or drank something cold, suppose to wait at least 1/2? or 1 hour? before taking BP reading. All my readings seem to be about what the Dr. had recorded in his office, so I figured I was doing it right.

I confirm using an old style, non digital Sphygmomanometer. That said, an exact comparison can never be made unless measurement made simultaneously - which isn't done. Even a reading with the Omron will differ when taken moments later. Consequently, accuracy is is considered OK when readings are consistently in the same range.

From what I can see, it has a few more features... the 5 is able to store readings for 2 people. If the only need is to see your blood pressure readings and heart rate, I'd still go with the 3.
