Beurer BM 23 vs Omron M3
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| BeurerBM 23 | OmronM3 | |

| Overview | ||

| Measuring | ||
| Type | Upper arm | Upper arm |
| Clinically validated | – | Yes |
| Irregular heartbeat detection | Yes | Yes |
| AFib detection or ECG | No | No |
| Method | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement during deflation. Exact UK item 60493, EAN 4211125604936; manual model BM 23, technical type BM 25. Range tile and SEO title use BM 25, but active product heading, photos, datasheet and instructions identify BM 23. First-sale date unresolved | Automatic oscillometric upper-arm measurement; HEM-7154-E, distinct from M3 Comfort HEM-7155-E and M3 Comfort AFib HEM-7196-FLE. First on-sale date not established |
| Accuracy | Manual display accuracy ±3 mmHg for systolic and diastolic pressure and ±5% for pulse; systolic range 50–280 mmHg, diastolic 30–200 mmHg and pulse 40–199 beats/minute. Maximum cuff pressure 300 mmHg is separate | Maker's pressure accuracy ±3 mmHg and pulse accuracy ±5% of displayed reading; systolic range 60–260 mmHg, diastolic 40–215 mmHg and pulse 40–180 beats/minute |
| Clinical validation | Current manual claims clinical testing to ISO 81060-2. Medaval lists a Stride BP derivative recommendation based on equivalence to BM 28 via Globalcare GCE603, but says unpublished equivalence results cannot be verified to MDR requirements. Independently established exact-device validation remains unresolved; headline flag omitted | Maker manual states an 85-subject clinical investigation under EN ISO 81060-2:2014 and compliance with 2014 and 2019+A1:2020; K5 is used for diastolic pressure. No additional population validation is inferred, and blood pressure validation does not establish diagnostic accuracy of rhythm indicators |
| Features | Irregular-heartbeat warning, coloured classification scale, electronic cuff-position check, automatic switch-off and battery indicator. No ECG, dedicated AFib screening, resting indicator or voice output | Irregular-heartbeat, body-movement, cuff-wrap and high-blood-pressure indicators. No AFib detection or ECG recording; the manual supports displaying the average of the latest two or three readings taken within ten minutes, despite the UK web table marking averaging as absent. This is distinct from automatic consecutive three-reading measurement; the UK page's generic Upper Arm BPM & ECG category label does not describe an ECG capability on this model |
| Cuff | ||
| Cuff fits | 22–42 cm | 22–42 cm |
| Cuff | Supplied universal cuff for 22–42 cm upper-arm circumference, replacement item 110.031; conventional hook-and-loop cuff rather than easyClip or easyLock | Included HEM-RML31 Easy Cuff, 22–42 cm arm circumference; approximately 145 × 594 mm, 750 mm tube and 170 g |
| Connections and memory | ||
| Users | – | 2 |
| Readings stored | – | 60 per user |
| Bluetooth and app | No | No |
| Memory | No stored reading history, user profiles, date/time or calculated averages established by the product table or complete device operation section. Manual's isolated statement about resetting date/time and retaining saved measurements conflicts with those sections; not treated as an implemented feature | Up to 60 readings per user for two users; guest mode takes a measurement without saving it |
| App | No Bluetooth connection from the monitor. Scan & Save captures the display with a smartphone camera into beurer HealthManager Pro rather than automatically transmitting measurements | No Bluetooth or OMRON connect support |
| Power | Four 1.5 V LR03 AAA batteries included; manual approximately 300 measurements depending on blood pressure and inflation pressure. USB-C input supports optional 5 V DC / 1 A mains operation, not battery charging or a demonstrated data connection. Manual lists EU adapter 072.78 and UK adapter 072.79; remove batteries for mains operation | Four AA batteries included, DC 6 V / 4 W; optional compatible AC adapter sold separately. Approximately 1000 measurements with new alkaline batteries and the included cuff, depending on batteries and cuff |
| Design | ||
| Display details | Non-illuminated LCD with black digits, maker 4.4 × 5.3 cm; physical START/STOP button. Manual IP21 | Digital LCD; monitor IP20 |
| Size | 120 × 90 × 40 mm (L × W × H). Manual and datasheet approximately 318 g with cuff and without batteries; current product table's 362 g excluding packaging has unspecified weighing conditions | Approximately 105 × 87 × 153 mm (W × H × L); approximately 310 g without batteries |
| In the box | Monitor, universal upper-arm cuff, four AAA batteries and instructions according to the datasheet and manual. Product page additionally lists a blood pressure record; mains adapter sold separately | Monitor, HEM-RML31 cuff, four AA batteries, storage case and instruction manuals 1/2 |
