5.0 out of 5 starscalibrated with Drs and it's a match!
September 21, 2018
My BP is all over the chart, I have trouble with keeping it high enough
that I don't pass out! Every time I feel dizzy I take my BP and when I go
to drs I bring it and he can adjust my meds accordingly!
Easy to you, put it on wrist and press button and wait! Simple

1.0 out of 5 starsThis monitor is easy to use
February 18, 2018
I bought this several weeks ago. I do home health care. I depend on my equipment's accuracy for my patient's wellbeing.
This monitor is easy to use. Its heart rate monitor is accurate.
However, the BP function is WAY Off. It's always at least 10 points higher than a manual read and often much higher.
If I went by the readout on this monitor, every patient I see would end up in the hospital unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there's any way to calibrate this monitor.
If you need accuracy, which everyone does when monitoring vital signs, opt for something else.

2.0 out of 5 starsThis machine actually RAISES my blood pressure
February 22, 2019
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
Great... This machine actually RAISES my blood pressure

Maybe this unit is defective, but it randomly shuts off and forgets the date. Also, it does not remember the date when changing batteries. It’s extremely aggravating — which is exactly the opposite of what I need. But by the third or fourth time I need to check my blood pressure and this thing starts flashing at me that it can’t do it because it doesn’t know what time it is anymore, I can feel my arteries expanding inside of my body.

Maybe it’s because I’m using rechargeable batteries? But it doesn’t say anywhere that this is counter indicated.

I don’t like this one. I am going to search out another which is simply rechargeable (USB) and maybe with bluetooth so that I can track/chart my blood pressure over time. I’m sure there are ones that will sync to my phone.

UPDATE/CORRECTION: to add insult to injury, this unit DOES actually remember the date. It also remembers all of the previous measurements. BUT for some inexplicable reason it still doesn’t remember the TIME, so you have to go through the process of setting it from the beginning every time you change the batteries.

This made me want to take off another star but I will not because maybe this won’t matter to some people—also because when it works, it seems like it may be accurate (even though my wife doesn’t think it is).

2.0 out of 5 starsInaccurate readings
February 7, 2019
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
Although it's a lot more convenient than an arm cuff, I have found this device to have wildly inaccurate readings.

First, if you do not place it correctly on your wrist, it will not read at all and instead will keep increasing the pressure until it finally runs into an error. That's the first thing to watch out for -- but OK, I placed it more carefully and followed all the instructions, and was able to get more consistent readings.

However I went to a health check up today and compared the readings with the manually taken and machine taken recordings. The wrist monitor was way off -- as much as 30 over on top and 10 over on bottom, over repeated measurements. This appears to have been the case with my at-home measurements as well, and I will not be using this for future measurements.

2.0 out of 5 starsInaccurate readings....
December 18, 2017
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
I get screened by a doctor every 6 months at work (vitals, labs, etc.). At my last checkup, they told me that they suggested I see my primary care physician or (at the very least) monitor my BP daily and keep a log (I have high BP).

I've been using this product for roughly a month (switched from an older cuff that was giving bad readings) and keeping meticulous logs. Last week, I had another appointment (at work). The doctor praised me for doing so well with my logs, but noted that the readings seemed askew. When he took my BP manually, it was 154/90! We compared that to the cuff's readings, and realized that it was junk (cuff was saying I was 139/87 (roughly)). All of my logs have a consistent read out, they're just wrong though...

I'm super disappointed and angry that I trusted this device. Over all, I blame myself though - I shouldn't have settled with this simply because it was cheaper and had good reviews on amazon.

My advice is: if you do decide to purchase, go to your primary care physician, have them take your BP and compare it to your cuff's readout. If it's different, send the cuff back. Your health is too important to rely on a faulty machine/instrument!

2.0 out of 5 starsNot accurate nor even close
November 30, 2017
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
I received a replacement since the first one didn't work well. However, both units are consistently 20 points high. I had a medical professional take my BP then used the CareTouch ---- there was a 20 point discrepancy. When you change batteries, you lose all set up and BP history. I wouldn't recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 starserratic results with small wrist
May 21, 2019
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
After having a hemorrhagic stroke, I now have to measure my BP twice daily, and I bought this because it looked easy to use and the price seemed reasonable. Because my left wrist is very skinny from paralysis, getting a good fit with this cuff was nearly impossible, and without a good fit my home reading (211/110) were way off from those (132/82) at my MD's office -- basically meaningless. Fortunately, Amazon agreed to take it back after the return window had passed, which makes being a Prime member all the more worthwhile.

2.0 out of 5 starsDied after exactly 1 year
June 23, 2019
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
I ordered this a year ago, and it was great - comfortable cuff, easy to use, accurate (checked against my doctor's office equipment), and the display was very easy to read. 1 year later and it no longer works. I've tried changing batteries several times, but nothing. So this is going in the trash and I am going back to Omron.

2.0 out of 5 starsWould Not Buy Again
April 19, 2018
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
It’s just ok. Not very reliable for an accurate reading. Have to test a few times to get the correct reading. I have a traditional cuff style blood pressure tester, but wanted something easier to put on. The cuff style type that I already had is way more accurate then this new wrist version I just purchased. That being said, if you’re willing to test a few times or so, with time waiting between eat test, then it works.

2.0 out of 5 starsWould be a good idea to calibrate this with your physician's equipment!
October 24, 2018
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
I should say, "My husband's doctor doesn't like this". My husband took this to his doctor, (doctor's idea). To get an accurate reading, 15 must be subtracted from the top number and 10 must be subtracted from the bottom number. This led to a lot of stress, wondering why the medication wasn't working. If my husband had adjusted his meds according to these readings it might well have been disastrous. This might have been a fluke with this unit only but...

It arrived quickly. Seems very sturdy. BUT, it consistently reads blood pressure 40-50 points above even the readings I get in the doctor's office. I had to return it.

2.0 out of 5 starsInconsistent Performance
May 28, 2019
Size: Wrist Blood Pressure MonitorVerified Purchase
Unboxing was easy. But I've had a problem in using the device from day one. For the past 20 days, its been fully charged during use, I've strapped in onto my wrist as per the instructions, and pressed the "START/STOP" button to initiate a test. Sometimes I press it for a moment, sometimes press and hold for many seconds. It usually works in neither case.

Through a combination of repeated attempts and trial/error, I've been able to set the basic parameters, e.g. time/date, age, gender. But again, not able to seamlessly use the product as advertised.

I usually eventually get a reading after at least 5 minutes of trial and error, but sometimes, never. I don't know how much substance I should grant to the reading after so many difficulties in obtaining it. \_(ツ)_/
