Omron Bronze BP5150 Review: Fourteen Readings, and Why That Number Decides It
By the BP Monitor Lab editorial team · Written from manufacturer documentation and published guidance, not from our own device testing · Last checked: August 30, 2026
The Bronze is the cheapest Omron that still talks to a phone, and it carries the same three-way validation as the Silver above it. The catch is a single number: it stores fourteen readings. Whether that is fine or disqualifying depends entirely on whether you will open the app.

A listing or published study names this exact model.
Omron publishes ESH-IP and ISO 81060-2 validation for the BP5150. It does not list AAMI, BHS for this model.
What Makes This One Different
Fourteen readings is roughly four days of measuring twice each morning and evening, which is how the AHA suggests building a usable average. On the fifteenth reading the first one is gone. Omron Connect stores an unlimited history, so for anyone who pairs the device this ceiling is invisible. For anyone who does not, this monitor cannot hold a seven-day log, and that is the exact thing a clinician asks for.

The App Is Not Optional Here
On most monitors the app is a convenience. On this one it is the memory. If you are buying for a parent who will not pair a phone, buy something else: the Silver BP5255 holds thirty for a little more, and the A&D UA-767F holds sixty per user for four people with no app at all.
What you do get for the price is the validation. Omron publishes ESH-IP and ISO 81060-2 for the BP5150, the same three the Silver carries and one more than the Platinum lists.
Where It Sits: the Cheapest Rung With a Way Out
Omron's home line is a memory ladder, and the Bronze is the first rung that can offload. Below it the Iron BP5000 keeps a single reading and has no Bluetooth at all, so its log lives on paper. Above it the Silver BP5255 roughly doubles the on-device memory to thirty.
| Model | Readings on device | Offloads to an app |
|---|---|---|
| Iron BP5000 | 1 | No |
| Bronze BP5150 | 14 | Yes |
| Silver BP5255 | 30 | Yes |
| Gold BP5360 | 90 | Yes |
| Platinum BP5465 | 100 | Yes |
Fourteen is about three and a half days of measuring twice each morning and evening. The fifteenth reading deletes the first. Pair the device and that ceiling is invisible, because Omron Connect keeps everything. Do not pair it, and this monitor cannot hold the seven-day log a clinician asks for, however carefully you measure.
Buy it if
- +You will pair the monitor to Omron Connect and leave it paired
- +You want a validated Omron at the lowest price that still syncs
- +You are the only user
- +Your arm is 9 to 17 inches, which the wide-range D-ring cuff covers
Skip it if
- -You will not use a phone app, because fourteen readings is the whole memory
- -You need a seven-day log held on the device itself
- -Two people will share it
- -You want rhythm screening beyond an irregular beat flag

Frequently Asked Questions
How many readings does the Omron Bronze store?
Fourteen on the device. Omron Connect holds an unlimited history once paired, so in practice the ceiling matters only if you do not use the app.
Is the Bronze validated?
Yes. Omron publishes ESH-IP and ISO 81060-2 for the BP5150, which is the same record as the Silver and one protocol more than the Platinum or Gold list. Omron records no AAMI or BHS check against any model we cover.
Is the Bronze good enough for a seven-day log?
Only through the app. Two readings morning and evening is four a day, which fills fourteen slots in under four days, so the device alone cannot hold the week a clinician usually asks for.
