What reviewers say

Both praise the large, readable display and Bluetooth transfer. Their measurement tests disagree markedly: ETM Testmagazin finds precise readings in its user and laboratory checks, while F.A.Z. Kaufkompass finds substantial deviations in its five-person test. Kaufkompass also finds inflation slow and uncomfortable; ETM criticises the short cuff tube and date reset after battery changes.
