10 Best Blood Pressure Monitors UK 2024 | Omron, Braun and More

A&D Medical is known for providing high-quality medical devices for both professional and at-home use. Their range of blood pressure monitors are no exceptions, and of the various models they have to offer, this one is our top pick.

Taking the stress and error out of home blood pressure reading, this device uses one-button operation and can be synced via Bluetooth to the A&D Connect app to automatically track your health data. It's also affordable, portable, and comfortable. 

The most technologically advanced blood pressure monitor on the list, the Omron X7 Smart can automatically transfer readings to your smartphone, and even be paired with Amazon Alexa!

This monitor features atrial fibrillation detection, an often-undetected condition which, when left untreated, can lead to a higher risk of stroke and embolism. While it does not yet appear on the list of devices published by the BHS, it has been clinically validated by other organisations.

Looking like something out of a futuristic science fiction movie, Omron’s EVOLV wireless blood pressure monitor combines the cuff and the reader, all in one reliable package; so no need to fiddle around with attachments at all.

We recommend this one as a good option for an easily transportable monitor to take on the go. A sleek and stylish way to keep on top of and better understand your health, simply connect the device to your smartphone via Bluetooth using the free app. 

The Braun ExactFit 5 Connect generously includes two cuffs to accommodate a wider range of sizes for that perfect fit. If you hate the anaconda-like grip of many upper arm blood pressure monitors, you may want to give this one a go – its soft inflation technology promises a gentler squeeze, for improved comfort.

An upgraded version of the ExactFit 1, this monitor comes with a few extra features such as irregular heartbeat detection, and a colour-coded system to help you interpret readings at a glance.

If you’re looking for a straightforward blood pressure monitor to take readings at home, Omron’s X2 Basic is a good option. It's clinically validated for peace of mind and will enable to accurately track your blood pressure and heartbeat at the press of a button.

Best of all, it’s incredibly wallet-friendly, which is ideal if you don’t require any extra functions or features. So if you don't want an all singing and dancing, multi-functioned blood pressure monitor, then this will do you just fine.

The Omron X4 blood pressure monitor is designed to help monitor hypertension and some of its associated risk factors. Using intelligent technology, this monitor detects stroke risk factors, and will even indicate if an irregular heartbeat is detected.

Braun’s Intelli Wrap technology ensures the cuff always inflates to the ideal level every time, and the LCD screen indicators tell you whether your blood pressure is normal or high. The Omron brand is also validated by the ESH so you can rest assured that this one is trustworthy.

It is also capable of real-time recording of your heart rate and rhythm with real-time results and trends that are easily sent to your doctor. Note however, that this particular monitor has not yet been BHS-approved, but it's been clinically validated by another body.

The Braun ExactFit 1 is a simple to use, one button blood pressure machine with a few smart features to help track readings. It can be used alongside Braun’s free Healthy Heart app, through which users can receive an instant analysis of their readings, set reminders for doctor’s appointments, and much more.

Be aware that if you choose to download the app, you will need to enter your readings manually as unfortunately, it cannot be synced with the device. So if you're not confident that you'll enter the correct numbers or even remember to in the first place, this may be a moot point.

This automatic blood pressure monitor from Kinetik Wellbeing is not too sophisticated and easy to operate. There is an instruction manual enclosed that is well explained to guide you through in case you find it a little complex at first.

Whilst app integration is not available, it has a good internal memory and can store up to 90 memories showing date and time of reading. This clinically-validated device works straight out of the box!

Duronic’s BPM150 has a large digital display that’s easy to read and uses a colour chart to help you quickly see whether your result falls within the normal range. Misplaced your last reading or forgot to write it down? No problem! This device can store up to 60 past readings on its internal memory.

While the BPM150 does not appear to have been clinically validated by the BHS, other Duronic devices that use similar technology have been. If in doubt, get it checked for accuracy by your GP.
