Omron, don't get a wrist one they are wildly inaccurate and will upset you and make it higher.

Wal-mart has a $45 wrist model. I just bought one and will be taking it to Mexico. if you go by the pharmacy and look for the monitors, it will be obvious since there is only 1 wrist model at $44.??
It has two memory banks, for two people, and will automatically record 50 tests for each person, then when you do the 51st, it overwrites the last one.
DO HOLD IT SO YOUR WRIST WHERE IS IS CONNECTED IS LEVEL WITH YOUR HEART. Putting it higher or lower affects the reading.
I like the wrist model because you can see the numbers while it is on your wrist.

The arm model is more accurate. The wrist model will show a lower blood pressure than the the arm model. If you have difficulty using the arm model then go with the wrist model, but know that the result is lower than what the doctor will get in his office.

i personally feel that the arm bands are the more accurate ones. you can find them at any drugstore or any local medical supply company. they come in all price ranges. if you cant afford the arm one, the wrist one is acceptable.
