PS try not pre wrapping it so tightly and see how that effects the reading. If you have big wrists it's easy to over tighten.
PSS the main thing is that your using it ! Good on you mate.
PSSS I just noticed that mine (a walgreens model) has a specific wrist circumference range 13.5 cm - 19.5 cm, could it be you're too big? You stud!

And the test I did at the doctors office was right after the tech took mine manually.
