Final Weigh-In

After comparing the three products, it must be clear to you that OMRON’s Series 10 wrist blood pressure monitor is technologically advanced than the OMRON Series 7 and the OMRON Series 5, respectively.

However, if we were to look at it holistically, the main purpose behind blood pressure monitors is to track your blood pressure. That too, with reliability and accuracy. In this case, all three arm-based blood pressure monitors by OMRON thrive. While the Series 10 support additional features like TruRead Technology and a high contrast backlit LCD display with large digits, all the other testing features remain the same. The major difference lies with the storage capacity.

While the addition of technological features and memory capacity an advantage, but the end-user is focused more on the accuracy of reading, which the Series 5 and the Series 7, both offers, without any technical change in result or reading capacity.

What’s more important in this comparison is the price point for the three arm-based blood pressure monitors, as the Series 10 blood pressure monitor comes at a cost of $105, while the Series 7 and Series 5 cost $94.50, and $73.50, respectively.

While we do consider the Series 10 as the superior product, but if you already have a Series 5 or Series 7 blood pressure monitor, there’s no need to spend a premium and get the Series 10. You can jump from a Series 7 to a Series 10, as the price difference is not hefty, however, if you have a Series 5, we’d recommend you stick to that for now, if you don’t desire all the advanced storage and usability features.
