Great item for the $$
I use Samsung Healthy Living BW-325S Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor on patients as a screening. You must follow directions exactly. Bent left arm, Left wrist at heart level, palm up, sitting position, empty bladder. If reading is high, I usually ask if the patient has had any recent caffeine or nervous for appointment. I wait 10 minutes between readings per the directions. It's been surprisingly accurate for the past 6 months.
Worked Perfect for over 2 years
I've read other reviews and felt I needed to add my 2 cents. I had open heart surgery 2 years ago. I purchased this wrist cuff monitor at least 6 months before that. I knew I was having trouble so I took this cuff with me everywhere. Sometimes I would check my heart rate 6 or more times a day. It was always very accurate. I would take it in to my appointments and it was always fun to test it against what the doctor got. It was always within 3 or 4 points of their readings. I really needed it for the heart rate more then the blood pressure. I had to make sure my rate was low. I'm just now looking to replace it. I've worn the poor thing out.

Dangerously Inaccurate
My blood pressure tends to run a little high so my doctor recommended I monitor it over the course of a month. So I bought this blood pressure meter thinking it would be a convenient and hassle-free way to monitor my blood pressure at home without having to go out to the gym or other place where they had a BP machine. Boy was I wrong. I can't get an accurate reading off this monitor, and yes I've read the instruction manual. Just tonight it showed me as being 195/120 which is in the "stroke danger zone" and I freaked out. An hour later, I'm 131/68 which seems to be closer to my typical range. I get wild variations in the readings even as much as 20-30 points within just a few minutes. I just don't know which to trust. I've decided I'm taking ... Read More
