Wrist band blood pressure monitor.

I'm looking for a portable blood pressure monitor and was thinking about one of these wrist band models. Anyone have any experience with these?

Lots of Dr offices use them now.

They get pretty bad reviews on their accuracy.

OMRON makes one for about $75.

I have that one and it reads anywhere from 10-20 points higher than my arm cuff, which tends to run higher than what the doctor uses.

As long as I know the error is consistently high and not low, I can make allowances for it An arm BP cuff has always been painful. At least I can use a wrist cuff without discomfort.

My wrist cuff seems to always be 5-10 points less than the arm cuff on systolic. Don’t know what to believe really.

They're convenient, but they do read quite high. It might cause you more alarm than a traditional upper arm. In fact, those home upper arm even read a little higher (for me at least), than I get at the doctor's office.

Everyone here is right, they are not accurate. If you figure out how off it is, you can use it to track yourself though.
Auto arm one runs higher numbers as well than a human doctor or nurse. You can use those to track as well, as long as you know the variance.

Just a FYI update. I bought two from Amazon. An Omron 7 series and a Konquest KBP-2510W. I sent the Omron back. It was slow, no back light and would read error several times, also accuracy was suspect.
The Konquest I kept. It's fast has a back light and is surprisingly accurate for my needs.
