REVIEW – I’ve been wearing varying models of Fitbit for over a decade now and have always appreciated having access to basic fitness information such as my steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns. One piece of information I have not had access too, though, was more details about my blood pressure and any fluctuations in that space. The Oxiline Pressure XS Pro came up and the form factor and design looked intriguing, so I decided to take a stab at it and see how it held up. Read on for more.

Design and features
The Oxiline Pressure XS Pro blood pressure monitor is a small device that can be powered via a USB Type C cord or 4 AAA batteries. It is shaped like a wedge with a clear OLED screen.
There are 3 buttons on this device. The left button turns on the menu setting and allows you to connect Bluetooth and any other functions. The middle button starts measuring blood pressure and inflating the cuff. The right button allows you to set different users. It will track multiple people over time.
Setup
No assembly required besides putting in batteries or plugging in a USB-C cable and inserting the air line for the air cuff.
The cuff itself has a great layout and shows very well how to use it and where to set the sensors on your arm. It’s very simple.
This monitor is fully functional on its own without any additional connectivity. That being said, it does come with Bluetooth connectivity and you can monitor and track performance in an app on your phone.
The connected app took a minute to figure out and the hardest part was gettting it to connect via Bluetooth.
Performance
Using this cuff the first time it was very straightforward and just worked the first time. The below picture shows it pressuring up and this is about the peak of what I felt. It’s plenty tight at its peak, but that’s pretty normal for most blood pressure machines that I’ve used in the past. (Power station not included, but worked great to power this little machine as well)
The screen on this is great and it is very clear what the results are.
Final thoughts
This is a great little blood pressure monitor. I was a little skeptical at first that a small little machine would be able to inflate the cuff enough to get a good reading, but I can confidently say that is not an issue. It works quickly and is able to output a reading very quickly. I definitely recommend this blood pressure monitor. It’s small, portable, and easy to use.
What I like about the Oxiline XS Pressure Pro
- Extremely easy setup
- Screen is bright and easy to read
- Cuff is easy to adjust and fit with instructions printed on the cuff itself
What needs to be improved?
- Nothing I could find
