@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, I have issues with the wrist models because they have trouble when I have an arrhythmia measuring the pressure they usually give an error message. My dentist always has to go to the arm cuff to get a reading. The model I have is Omron Platinum BP Monitor BP5450 The app is Omron Connect. I hope this helps. The app works on any platform OSI or Android.

Thank you Caryn
Do you know which model /name that one is?
In your opinion - are any of the wrist models accurate ?

I second the Omron. They have an app that you can sync to record the readings so that when you go to the doctor, you have them all on your phone. Works with iPhone or Android. They also have a cuff that you don't have to tighten. It just slips over the arm if that is an issue for you.
