I bought this machine after a surprise at the doctors office, readings of 160/100. I was asked to monitor my blood pressure for several weeks to see what the average was.
I bought this over other devices as I have a liking for Alexa. The machine works great overall with minor issues.
Bluetooth: I have an Android 7.1.1 phone and the connectivity works fine. In order for bluetooth to work properly, the bluetooth on the phone needs to be on, followed up by the location services. The location mode must be set to "high accuracy" or the machine will not be detected. It does not work with "Device Only" selected. Low energy bluetooth devices require location services to be turned on in order to be properly detected. This is a function of the Android operating system, not the Omron device. In two months, I think I may have had one issue and it was solved by rebooting the phone. The normal routine is to make sure bluetooth is on, flip on the location services, open the app on the phone and then press the button on the Omron device. On the app you tap "Add blood pressure" and it transfers. As soon as it transfers, I turn off location services. It works perfectly when this path is followed. This is a similar procedure that I use when syncing my Fitbit Charge 2 to the same phone and the FitBit app.
Alexa: I have a Fire TV stick attached to my Samsung TV. Within Alexa app, you have to find the Omron skill, enable it, and link it to your Amazon account. I can quiz the TV for my blood pressure using the remote control and it gives a set of commands and visuals to display the pressure readings. Sometimes, it is flaky and cuts off when reading the pressure out loud. On the plus side, when asked, it will verbally give the last 5 readings, an average for the month/last 10 readings. I find the Alexa skill to be a little quirky, however, I consider it a "gadget". I'm a "Star Trek" fan of many years and Alexa is starting to sound a lot like the "Star Trek" computer with the amount of information that she is capable of giving. In the 1980's, I can remember watching the crew of "The Next Generation" quizzing the computer verbally for information and using black touch screens. At the time, I thought that was from the 24th century in some distant future. Now, a reality in the 21st century.
Android App: Install the "OMRON connect US/CAN" 2.3 app on the phone. It gives a blood pressure history that is easy enough to follow. Careful to choose the right one as there are other Omron apps.
Accuracy: I take my pressure two times a day, when I rise and at night before bed. I set the machine to take the pressure three times in a row with 15 second rest intervals and then it provides an average. The numbers are usually close to each other. Occasionally, 1 out of the 3 readings will be higher or lower than the other. I think it is more important to remember is that it's not about any one specific number. With enough readings and data, you build a profile over time that is measured and shows in the app by the day, week, month, etc. The machine is sensitive to movement so make sure to rest your arm on something!
Health: With the use of the machine and making modifications to my lifestyle, in two months I have managed to reduce my pressure from an average of 160/100 to my first "normal" reading today of 118/74, prompting my review of this product. I quit drinking caffeine and the results are *astonishing*. I'm very pleased with this device and how it actually assisted with monitoring my health. With the aid of my FitBit to track my heart rate and steps, I have also managed to reduce my resting heart rate by 8-10.
My advice is that this a great product, take a few minutes to read the directions and understand how it works. It's not really about pressing the button once a day and then crying about it because it doesn't seem accurate. Take hundreds of readings over a course of time and let the math speak for itself. I have used this machine daily for two months and I would highly recommend this product.
Thank you!

Great BP monitor, but horrendous app, practically useless existence of Bluetooth connectivity
In this day and age of constant stress from various things in life, once you are over 40, it is definitely a good thing to keep track of your health, especially heart rate and blood pressure. Omron is a trusted brand and I had bought one for my parents over 15 years ago and it is still working great. I wanted one for myself now and with the ability to connect to your phone through Bluetooth, I thought this would be a good one to get.What you may like:1. Excellent design, product feels like it is well built with large display2. Accurate BP and HR reading.3. Memory of readings4. Separate readings for two individuals5. Ability to connect to your phone through an app to more easily keep track of readings (but big problem, see below)6. Simple to use7. Excellent value at $65 at the time of the review8. Can take batteries or connect via adapterWhat I am neutral about1. The hard cuff, which is easy to slide up, but if you have larger arms, this may pinch your skinWhat you may not like1. The connector to the cuff could be a tighter connection. I always feel like I have to watch to make sure it doesn't disconnect if I even slightly accidentally moveWhat you will definitely not like1. The Omron App. Easily one of the worst apps. The problem is, I don't even know how it works, because I haven't been able to connect it to my phone (4 different brand and makes, all Android) even once. This hasn't been fixed for over two years now. I am not sure how Omron is getting away with this nonsense.Overall, the main function of this machine is to accurately measure your BP and heart rate, have good display and ability to store readings, and it excels in all these functions, which is the reason I am giving it a four and not a 2 or a 3. I did think about docking the rating because the app is truly frustrating.
