Omron M6 vs Series 10… which of these two Omron blood pressure monitors (BPMs) has better features? Let’s answer that in this comparison report. But first, let’s give a brief introduction on each device.
On one hand, there’s the Omron M6 Comfort, an upper arm BPM marketed by the company as having an Intelli Wrap cuff technology that essentially provides a larger measurement area. In other words, this feature wraps 360 degrees around your arm, thereby preventing misuse or incorrect placement of the cuff.
On the other, there’s the Omron 10 Series — not to be confused with the Wireless+Bluetooth version — another upper arm BPM that is so far the brand’s most advanced yet. This monitor has an unmistakenly beautiful exterior and is equipped with features that the others lack.
Let’s take a look at these Omron BPMs’ differences.

Key Differences: Omron M6 vs Series 10
At first glance, the Omron M6 and the Series 10 look the same. For the most part, they are, but if you take a closer look, there are a few notable differences. Here’s a list.
TruRead Feature
Between the two Omrons, only the 10 Series is equipped with this feature. What’s TruRead? You already know that when taking your blood pressure, you need to take multiple readings and take their average. With an ordinary BPM, taking multiple readings can take a lot of time. But with the TruRead feature, you can take multiple readings and the resulting average within just a short amount of time.
Cuff
The Omron M6 has an Intelli Wrap cuff and the Series 10 is equipped with an EasyWrap ComFit cuff.
False readings can be the result of an incorrectly placed cuff, but with the Intelli Wrap cuff, this can be prevented because it’s designed to wrap 360 degrees around your arm.
The EasyWrap ComFit cuff is a pre-formed cuff that stays in place to prevent incorrect cuff placement.
