Summary: fabulous instrument
Comment: Really easy to use, as it goes on your wrist, not your upper arm. My cardiologist at UCLA recommended it, saying 'you don't need one with a computer that keeps track of months of data, this is good and less expensive', and he was right.

Summary: Good Product
Comment: I wanted a blood pressure instrument for home, but I didn't want to throw my money away on junk. When I visited my doctor, and he used this device, I bought one. Works fine.

Summary: Priced right
Comment: Great product for the price. Easy to use digits large enough to see without readers. Archival mode allows for easy tracking of data especially usefull when providing documentation for those who need anti-hypertension therapy

Summary: Inconsistent
Comment: The diastolic pressure seems consistent, but the systolic (higher number) changes by 20mg or more between two readings taking one right after the other. Also found similarly dramatic differences when switching from one arm to the other. Good to give you an idea of where you are, but I wouldn't rely on it for very accurate one-time readings, particularly with the systolic.
Also note, if you get a wrist monitor, it's important to hold your wrist at chest level - it will be falsely low if it's above your heart and falsely high if it's below your heart.
I bought the wrist monitor to save some money, but just spent a few extra dollars to replace it with an arm cuff one.

Summary: Easy to use
Comment: I have used this a few times since purchased and it is extremely easy to use. All you do is pop in the batteries (included) and put it on your wrist and hit start. The measuring seems very accurate. I also have a watch that measures heart rate, and I have checked it against the wrist cuff, and they always come out the same or within one reading. The memory feature is good, but you may still need to track yours on paper if more than one person uses it because it just tracks the last 60 readings with no other info.
