Withings BPM Connect Review: Wi-Fi, Eight Profiles, No Rhythm Feature

Name: Withings BPM Connect
Brand: Withings

By the BP Monitor Lab editorial team · Written from manufacturer documentation and published guidance, not from our own device testing · Updated: October 6, 2026

The BPM Connect uploads each reading over Wi-Fi, so no phone has to be in the room. Up to eight people can have a profile. The trade is that the device itself keeps only 8 readings, so the history lives in the Withings app. It has no rhythm feature at all.

Brand: Withings
Model number: WPM05
Lifecycle: Current
Also sold as: Model WPM05 on Amazon's listing

Independent validation: we can cite one

A listing or published study names this exact model.

Withings publishes ISO 81060-2 validation for the WPM05. It is listed by model on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing. Withings says it was validated in 85 adults with arms from 22 to 42 cm, against ISO 81060-2:2018.

What the Evidence Is

Withings says the BPM Connect was validated in 85 adults with arm sizes from 22 to 42 cm, against ISO 81060-2:2018. You can read Withings' page on that study. That is the maker's own study. It is also listed by model on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing, as Withings BPM Connect (WPM05), with an integrated 22 to 42 cm cuff. We opened that entry on October 6, 2026.

Specifications

Cuff: 8.7 to 16.5 inches
Stored users: 8
Readings per user on device: 8
App storage: Unlimited via the app
Syncing: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Rhythm: None
Typical price: $100 to $200
Power: Rechargeable, charged over micro-USB
Averaging: No, average your own readings
Phone app: App required

The App Is Not Optional

The device keeps 8 readings. Everything beyond that lives in the Withings Health Mate app and account. If you want a monitor that keeps its own history, the Omron Platinum BP5465 holds 100 readings each for two people, and the A&D UA-767F holds 60 each for four with no app at all.

No Rhythm Feature

Withings' US specification lists systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and heart rate. It does not list an irregular heartbeat flag, so we do not claim one. The Withings model with an ECG, the BPM Core, is not sold in the US.

Buy it if

+Several people share one monitor and each want a profile
+You want readings uploaded with no phone in the room

Skip it if

-You want an ECG, which it does not have
-You do not want your readings living inside one company app
-You want an irregular heartbeat flag or AFib screening

The BPM Vision is the other Wi-Fi monitor we cover, and its listing names an XL cuff. The Omron Platinum screens for AFib by name and keeps its own history. The A&D UA-767F holds four users with no app.

Fact-check history

What we have corrected on this page, and when. We publish the mistakes as well as the fixes.

2026-10-06: Corrected the BPM Connect study to what Withings says now: 85 adults, arms 22 to 42 cm, against ISO 81060-2:2018. We had said 87 participants and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2013, from a Withings support article that no longer exists. The source link now goes to Withings' current page.
2026-10-06: Added the US validated device listing. On 2026-10-04 we removed it because we could not open the listing to check. On 2026-10-06 we opened the model's own entry: it is listed as Withings BPM Connect (WPM05), with an integrated 22 to 42 cm cuff. The entry is linked.
2026-10-05: Rebuilt from the product record. Removed the claim of no multi-user profiles on the device (our record holds eight), a six-month battery life, app features we have not used, and a pointer to the Withings BPM Core for ECG, which is not sold in the US.
2026-10-04: Removed the claim that the BPM Connect is on the US validated device listing. What we can cite is Withings' own study against ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2 with 87 participants.
2026-10-04: Corrected the comparison with the Omron Platinum BP5465, whose published validation is ISO 81060-2 only.
2026-10-04: Corrected the Withings BPM Connect's memory to 8 readings on the device. The page had said unlimited.
2026-08-30: Corrected the rhythm feature to none. Withings' US specification lists systolic, diastolic and heart rate, and does not mention irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia.
2026-08-30: Corrected the display to an LED matrix and charging to micro-USB.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Withings BPM Connect need a phone nearby?

Not when you measure. It uploads over Wi-Fi, so no phone has to be in the room. You do need the Withings app and an account to see your history, because the device itself keeps 8 readings.

Is the Withings BPM Connect clinically validated?

Withings says the BPM Connect was validated in 85 adults with arm sizes from 22 to 42 cm, against ISO 81060-2:2018. That standard allows a mean difference of no more than ±5 mmHg and a standard deviation of no more than 8 mmHg. It is also listed by model on the US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing, as Withings BPM Connect (WPM05).

How many people can share it?

Our record gives it eight user profiles. The device keeps 8 readings. Everything beyond that lives in the Withings app and account.

How is it powered?

It is rechargeable, and it charges over micro-USB.

How accurate is the BPM Connect compared to the Omron Platinum?

Nobody has published a test of one against the other, so we do not rank them on accuracy. Each has a published validation. Withings published its study against ISO 81060-2. Omron publishes ISO 81060-2 only for the BP5465, and does not list ESH-IP, AAMI or BHS for it. The choice is about Wi-Fi and eight profiles on the Withings, against AFib screening and TruRead averaging on the Omron Platinum.

Does the BPM Connect detect an irregular heartbeat?

No. Withings' own US technical specifications list what this device measures as systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Irregular-beat detection is not among them, and we do not infer a feature from other models in the range. If you want rhythm screening, the Omron Platinum BP5465 screens for AFib by name, and the Omron Complete BP7900 records an ECG.
