I received this digital wrist blood pressure monitor at no charge, in exchange for this unbiased review. I really wanted to like this monitor, as it seemed like it would be easier to use than the more typical arm-cuff type of monitor. Unfortunately, though, I really didn't like this monitor at all, and I won't be using it.

The main issue I have with this blood pressure monitor is that it seems quite inaccurate. I tested it a few times on myself, and once on my wife. I followed all the directions in the manual. Every  reading was significantly higher than the readings obtained by my arm-cuff monitor. A blood pressure monitor that is inaccurate is not a useful device.

Another issue with this wrist blood pressure monitor is that it is quite uncomfortable to use. My wife's fingers became numb and tingly, and she hated the feeling. That did not happen to me, but I also thought the discomfort was significantly higher than with arm-cuff monitors.

There are other trivial things I did not like about this device, but in light of the above, most are not even worth mentioning. One, though, is that it seems almost impossible to pack the monitor into the small carry pouch without it turning itself on inside the pouch, and then attempting to monitor blood pressure. It gives up after ten or fifteen seconds, but it is still annoying.

I simply can not recommend this wrist blood pressure monitor.
