The Platinum BP5465 is the model Omron positions at the top of its upper arm range, and its spec sheet backs that up. Every measurement also screens for atrial fibrillation, which Omron says needs only one reading, and the monitor reports a weekly average of AFib events. TruRead takes three readings in a row at an interval you choose, from 15 seconds to 2 minutes, then shows the average, which matches the way doctors often ask patients to measure. Advanced Averaging does the same for separate readings within ten minutes, and a High Morning Average Indicator flags hypertensive morning numbers. The backlit dual display shows today's result beside the last one. The monitor stores 200 readings for two users and syncs to the free OMRON connect app over Bluetooth. Omron lists an MSRP of $90.99, with a 6 year warranty on the monitor. The trade-offs are size, a separate hose and no one-touch start.
