 Incredible Little Item May 28, 2005
By R. Straw
I am a nurse. I saw one of these blood pressure cuffs being used by another nurse, and asked her about it, then, promptly ordered one for myself. At that time it was 100.00, through a cnursing catalogue. I work in a busy rehab center where I take atleast 8-20 blood pressures daily. What my patients say about this is, "Wow, it didn't tighten my arm at all." "Didn't hurt a bit." "I've never seen one like it."
A doctor and myself measured readings done manually and readings done by this little machine, and found either way to be only a couple of numbers different.
My mom loves it, and we found the same model on Amazon for alot cheaper than 100.00. I have had poor experiences with another wrist blood pressure monitor that was 39.99. This little Omron is quick, easy, and correct.
Some of it's features: If you move your arm while you take the blood pressure, it shows an E for error. The batteries last about three motnhs. On this model, there is no battery indicator. It stores over 10 blood pressure readings. It also measures the pulse. There's no date or time stamp, but I didn't have good luck with the model with that feature.
To me, every house should have one of these cuffs, not the cheaper priced cuffs that donot work. I've used it at home and at work consistently, and I will buy the exact same cuff again. I hope Omron doesn't stop making them.

Blood Pressure Cuff Nov 03, 2006
By G. Lambert
"pengwynne"
This is a great product. My stepfather has developed very thin skin as he has gotten older and has to have his BP taken frequently every day. The regular arm cuff has caused quite a bit of damage to his arm. This cuff is around the wrist where the skin is a little thicker, thus saving his skin and not having to worry about infections to his upper arm. Also love the large digits on the screen. He is much happier and more willing to have his BP taken now. Thank you, Omron!

Great Unit.. Jul 20, 2006
By Sam Whiskey
"Net shopper"
I have been using Omron blood pressure wrist monitors for a few years now.
I found this particlar one to be of excellent value and a great Workhorse.
This one you can use in bed and get a true reading just by elevating your arm by your side to heart level.
It reads within a Few units up or down as compared to a doctors office unit.(very accurate)
Very close if not right on. A bit noisy but a fine instrament..

Get it in the right spot Feb 22, 2007
By Robert Galvin
"Galv"
This is a great gadget and I feel that the results are pretty accurate. I have found that you really need to position this in just the right spot on your wrist, though, as it seems like an inch higher or lower makes a big difference. I've found that placing the lower edge about where the lower edge of my watch normally sits seems to have the most accurate readings (about 1.5" from my palm).

 Inconsistent Jun 27, 2007
By M. F. Iverson
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.
