The battery of the Withings BPM Connect cannot be replaced by the user. The device has a built-in rechargeable battery and it is recommended to send the device to the distributor or manufacturer in case of problems instead of repairing it yourself or replacing the battery.

The Withings BPM Connect and the Withings BPM Core have significant differences, which are summarised here: ## Measurement functions - BPM Connect: This device is purely a blood pressure monitor for the upper arm that also measures the heart rate. - BPM Core: In addition to measuring blood pressure and heart rate, the BPM Core can also measure the electrical activity of the heart (ECG) and respiratory rate. ## Design and portability - BPM Connect: It has a minimalist design, is wireless and compact, which makes it easy to transport. The cuff can be wrapped around the plastic body. - BPM Core: This device is also wireless, but it contains additional functions, making it slightly larger and more complex than the BPM Connect. ## Connectivity and data storage - BPM Connect: It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity to automatically transfer data to an app. It can store up to 8 users. - BPM Core: Similar to the BPM Connect, it offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, but it typically stores the data for one user unless configured with an app that supports multiple users. ## Price - BPM Connect: The price is typically around 110-130 €. - BPM Core: It is more expensive and is typically around €230 or more. ## Additional functions - BPM Connect: It offers colour-coded indicators on the display to classify blood pressure readings and indicates if the cuff is not fitting properly or the measurement has been disturbed. - BPM Core: In addition to the basic functions, it offers additional health monitoring functions such as ECG and respiratory rate measurement. These differences show that the BPM Core offers more comprehensive health monitoring, while the BPM Connect focusses on simple and accurate blood pressure measurement.

The data can be sent from 7 days, 3 months or all measured values to an email address. However, no PDF is sent, but a CSV file is also included.

My, except for the 3-fold measurement, no longer measurement is possible via the menu. It doesn't make much sense to me, because the device is not so small that it wouldn't disturb or come loose while sleeping.

The unit can be configured to take 3 consecutive measurements and display the average of the 3 measurements. The interval between the measurements can be selected between 30 seconds and 1 minute. There is no possibility to calculate an average value via the app.
