I bought this model a few months ago. I'm requested to send my readings to my GP quite regularly (not sure why!) and this model gets a very high rating by Which Magzine as one of the most accurate.

It says upper arm to 32cm... How big is everyone's upper arm? That's huge isn't it?
not for a man it isnt, mine are 37cm
[deleted]
This is a rebadged omron m2 basic
Got the omicron ones use it too monitor my blood pressure. Nowadays you go to gp and they tell you to monitor your blood pressure over the next seven days and upload it to the nhs website ....mine is on average 137/64 measured over 7 days , morning and evening , think its ok but I'm fast approaching 60 years in age...great to have at home.
You mean OMRON. Omicron is a COVID type!
This is a great device and price, a rebadged OMRON and I’ve just been using mine this morning. I think the cuff might be a bit tight for those with Brutus size biceps (it’s a Popeye reference kids) but I find it very good and it’s what the local surgery uses too.
If it is a rebadged Omron and I promise you I haven't got Brutus Biceps, but I needed to get a larger cuff.
Just saying
These are 100% made by Omron. Great price at £9. Even better at £6.98 with staff discount! Bargain!
£6.97 for me
If anyone is interested in purchasing this product and wants a bigger cuff size I managed to find a larger size on eBay for a fiver.
ebay.co.uk/itm…254
Hope it helps.
Thanks for that,i'm borderline so might squeeze into the supplied one.
If you're using any software, there are many different standards. I was using the top rated one on the Play Store for a few months which said things were fine, only to realise it was for the US and not UK standards. When I changed things to the UK, my numbers were slightly elevated and it gave me reason to keep a closer eye on things.
Something to consider.
I bought one of these a few years back for £13 and it's really good. Unbelievably, it even comes with a case and batteries.
Mine's an OMRON, but this one looks to have been rebranded by Boots... which is a bizarre waste of time and resources... nobody likes buying 'own brand' goods.
Anyway, no excuse not to buy one at this price if you're like me and need to keep an eye on your BP. (edited)

If it has different features and looks different, in what sense is it the same model?
Yes it is made by Omron, using it for 3-rd year. What I have found, that systolic readings are always out on first few readings. And most times by 20%. I had replacement and same story. How do I know? I took it to 3 different doctors and tested with their one's readings.
:/ In a letter published May 2, 2023, in JAMA, an international team of researchers reported findings indicating that the vast majority of top-selling blood pressure monitors sold on a popular website are not validated for accuracy. And using a nonvalidated device might threaten your health.1 Sept 2023
.... doesn't apply to this one, the box blurb says it's "clinically validated"
Just now collected and is showing as HEM-8712 model
I have this one, which has an easy to read colour scale so you can make easy sense of the readings.
It also detects irregular heartbeat and only £17 delivered.

This one is better a lot in accuracy. Using it right now and always accurate and stable readings.- Thanks OP, managed to get it for £9.00, heat added.
Thanks, and you are right about 10% discount via advantage card.
I can’t get the 10%. What am I doing wrong? 🫣
Thanks OP. Everyone should own a blood pressure monitor, as blood pressure is a hidden killer.
This is a good price. But by default they all come with tiny cuff sizes. So always measure your upper arm size. For me you need up to 42cm.Yes, because it should be tested at home, NOT in the hospital or GP office, they are false readings.
Btw you get an additional 10% with the student discount, so it's £8.10 if you have it (edited)
Could you help me with student discount please
Thanks
Thanks, been on the lookout for a new one since my first and hopefully since last heart attack.
The heat on this deal is going up quicker than my blood pressure!
Thanks OP, bought.- Only an extra £0.50 since there's a 10% discount... but it is profoundly irritating that this thing is in stock at my local, but not only am I not allowed to go and buy it I also have to pay extra and wait two days to collect it.While ordering it shown as 14-Mar for me, but after 30 mins got confirmation as ready for pickup. Went and picked up.
went through at £7.29 with student discount in store!
Ordered, thanks
Went for a health check and they suggested I keep an eye on things, so grabbed one (edited)
Bargain
Cheers op - bought- Amazing deal. Ordered
further 10% off when using code NEWAPP10
Only if you have an Advantage Card and only if it's your first shop over £25.
Great deal, Op! I’ve had one for 2 years, and had no problems with it. I was surprised to see that it is exactly the same as the device my doctor used, when I last visited!!
fab little machine I bought one same as Zerobob for £13 and it was money well spent, I did also need to get a larger cuff though as you would have to be quite petite to use it comfortably! I work at a GP practice and we actually now charge patients a £20 refundable deposit to borrow one of ours! although this mainly because they never get returned or about 3yrs later...- Hot and ordered. Cheers OP.
Ordered for collection. Thanks- Been looking to get a blood pressure monitor but was baffled at the variety available! Ordered this for £8.10 thanks for posting
- I had it and dissapointed with accuracy. My blood pressure is 135/85 most of the times and this one shows 148/97 take or add few. Made me worrying and had consulted with GP and several tests on other devices confirmed normal results.
Lol have neatly the same avg blood pressure 😜 do you take any medication? - Takes AA so I’mreplacing my AAA one with this.
Thank you - only started thinking about buying one of these yesterday, and then this popped up!- Just bought this to replace my old Omron one where the readings were all over the place (always took the best one for my records 😸). It's a real bargain at this price.
The readings on this are nice and stable.
I record my readings on an app called "blood pressure, my diary" and export to Dr when visiting surgery 
This looks almost identical to the one i bought last Month from Argos for £17.All they seem to of done is change the colour to their own Blue and white. That one also had a memory of 90 tests.- If the cuff is too small can you get a larger one and fit it to this? Gym finally been paying off
How long do the batteries last on this?
That would depend on how often you use it, once a week, once a day, three times a day etc. I suppose the question is, how many measurements will one set of batteries offer. All I can say is, I have the Omron version, it's probably done about 40 readings with no sign of a flat battery indication but you would expect that.
