Stay away from the wrist cuffs. There is a reason they are not used by professionals.
The Omron line are the most reliable of the in-home cuffs. Omron 5 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Cuff that fits Standard and L... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPQB2NS..._LeocBbB3JAB28

We used one when the wife was pregnant with our daughter. I thought, hey I’ll check mine. ****. It’s high. Cool. I’ll just chill for a minute and try again. Still high. Shit. Maybe it’s a tough day. I monitored it for 3 weeks. Made the log, 3 times a day. Different times, you know, eliminating variables. Always high. So I made an appointment with my doc for blood pressure. Got it checked st the clinic and it was great.
I sure felt like an idiot and it was an expensive lesson that those aren’t accurate. |

My work we use BP machines but they suck and sometimes we have to do manually but I hate doing those because background noise or patient moves around or hard to hear the beat.

This one probably works pretty well:
It's pricey though. $2,604.43 Aside: I wonder whats up with the $4.43. You'd think they could have sold it for an even $2600.

Just take the one you get to the Dr's office with you and get comparison reading between theirs and yours. 120/80 may be 110/75 on yours but as long as the readings are repeatable you/the doctor can work with it.

Shouldn't you care more about your cholesterol and tryglycerides than BP?
