What reviewers say about the Withings BPM Core
Only one whitelisted tester (Digital Trends) published a hands-on review of this exact model. Digital Trends found blood pressure and ECG accurate and reliable, praised the 2+ month battery life, but the digital stethoscope failed on most of ~50 readings, making the $250 price hard to justify.

Tested by Digital Trends
Consistently praised
- Accurate blood pressure, matching an at-home monitor and the doctor's-office reading
- Useful, reliable ECG analysis when heart rate is above 50 bpm
- Very long battery life, 2+ months of daily use on one charge in testing
- Solid, polished construction in a compact package
Commonly flagged
- Digital stethoscope fails to record heart sounds, usable only a handful of ~50 attempts
- Stiff cuff is difficult to adjust and too big for small arms
- Expensive at $250 given the stethoscope shortcoming
Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted tester survived verification, so no cross-source comparison is possible. All praised and flagged points rest on Digital Trends' single hands-on review, whose lukewarm verdict is driven by the flagship stethoscope feature being nearly unusable in testing.
The sources (1)
Stethoscope readings taken in testing: ~50 (heartbeat accurately recorded only a handful of times) · ECG reliability threshold: reliable above 50 bpm; reviewer's 45-50 bpm resting rate often inconclusive · Battery on single charge (observed): 2+ months of multiple daily BP/ECG readings, still running off first charge
When it comes to measuring your blood pressure, the Withings BPM Core delivers. The device matched my at-home blood pressure monitor as well as the one at the doctor's office.
Of the 50 or so readings I took, I was only able to accurately record my heartbeat a handful of times.
The Withings BPM Core accurately measures blood pressure and ECG, but it stumbles when recording heart sound, rendering it nearly useless. Because of this shortcoming, it's not worth its $250 price tag.
