- UltraSilent Inflation – This feature allows you to take your BP readings as quiet as possible.
- Heart Zone Guidance – As advertised, this feature helps guide your wrist to heart level, which should make it easier to find the correct position for a precise reading.
- Memory Storage – The 7 Series can store up to 100 readings. In comparison, this is 40 readings less than the 3 Series.
