I personally won't invest in the wrist monitors. Generally speaking, the closer the read is performed to the heart (axillary/arm bands) the more accurate the read. I've seen far less variability in those sphygmomanometers than the wrist devices.

Just my opinion.

Agreed. I usually disregard any reading from a wrist cuff, because they tend to read way high (an all bets are off when someone is in shock and shunting).

Each to his own. but the last two I owned were spot on compared to the one used at the doc's office. not saying its the best but good enough and convenient.
