This one works! Very consistent readings. The old Mercury Sphygmomanometer were 100% accurate and varied only with current atmospheric pressure and operator skills. Every other type has some inconsistencies of the device due to manufacture and wear. The consistency and reproducibility of measurements is more important than “accuracy”.If you have an automotive tire gauge that gives you the same number when measuring a tire, but is 5 PSI less than a “certified” gauge, that’s OK. You just fill them to 5 PSI more on your gauge.If your tire gauges won’t give you the same reading twice, then it’s time for another gauge.I bought a wrist unit from the same manufacturer. The reading were so inconsistent that I returned it to Amazon.This cuff unit I am keeping. My Physician wants me to take it to my next appointment to verify accuracy.

the Bluetooth and data features are almost useless. little more than a shortcut to avoid finding paper and pencil to write it down. it really needs features to manage the data, including import and export, summarize, etc. unlike most Bluetooth (BT) apps and devices, there is no security--any device, any app nearby can access the data. it makes connecting simple--no need to "pair". and they suggest not keeping more than one device in transmission range to avoid confusion. i got a thermometer and blood pressure cuff. the cuff is uncomfortable and shifts around while operating. accessing the battery compartment was a monumentally difficult task. the app works with multiple device types (as i said, i have a thermometer and bp cuff. being able to combine, consolidate and manage the data would be a solid idea. as would being able to read or import/export different data from other brands. (i also have a incompatible pulse oximeter). all in all. iHealth gets an A for effort, but a long way to go yet.***UPDATE:***i have become very frustrated just trying to sync and save all my readings. it seems impossible to do, my iHealth phone app just sits there on the "Connecting..." screen but never connects. i even verified the Bluetooth MAC address, to no avail.

I probably wouldn't have purchased this one had I read the reviews as it doesn't rate too high. However, it seems to work well so far, though I've only done a couple readings. I will give it 30 days and see how it compares to my arm monitor and usual readings from it. The feeling and operation is much different from the arm type if you've never used the wrist type. The arm type will inflate to the point where it can find your pulse, and stay inflated until it reaches a reading. This wrist monitor will continue to inflate all the way until the end of the reading, even after a pulse is found so it takes a little getting used to. Battery installation is a little difficult as the cover release is very close to the cuff. I was able to reach it with a little patience. The cuff will only fit a wrist circumference of 5.5 " to 7.7 inches so it yours is smaller or larger than that you can't use this. I had about an inch of cuff left over, which should be average. The product is small and compact and the date and time are a bit small and more difficult to read than the much larger vitals numbers. Having used the arm cuff type for many years I wanted a wrist model that would be more convenient as with the arm type there is more work involved having to expose the upper arm, and attache the monitor and cable. I also wanted a newer model of BP monitor that syncs with your phone and stores readings there. This product does very well with this and you don't even have to have your phone on when taking a reading, such as with a body scale that doesn't store readings. When you want to sync your latest readings simply log in to the app, connect your device and press sync. Then when you want to share the readings, select the format (PDF looks best) and it generates an email with the report attached. The instructions for the product are very clear and complete except it doesn't tell you which app it is. It is iHealth MyVitals. However, I definitely do not like the fact that it deletes measurements from the monitor once they are uploaded to the app. If something happens and you lose your account, you lose all your measurements, so I suggest emailing a report to yourself periodically so you don't lose a manual record of them.

Update..I officially give up. After about 3 months of playing with this thing, it's still highly inconsistent. It's just way too sensitive to small changes in position, yielding dramatic differences in readings.App has worked well but the trend graphs just don't show enough of a detailed scale to be useful-----------I was surprised at how hard it was to find a cuff that would sync with Google Fit and have a reasonable price. The cuff uploads to the app easily and promptly posts to Google Fit. I like the app. There's a nice range of charts to see your readings over time. Whatever one you buy check the app ratings on Google Play - most of the others have pretty terrible ratings.And it gives you the option to decide what readings you'd like to keep or discard prior to upload. As it uploads it clears out any readings in memory. This makes it easy to use with multiple users if you'd like. The thing I found confusing is that to sync, you need initiate from the app and not from the cuff. If the cuff is not on then press the M button and the cuff will connect with the app.But remember that wrist cuffs must be used properly to get a good reading. Follow the suggestions closely. When done right its a close match to my Omron arm cuff. And notice that you have to change orientation on the left vs the right wrist. I also find taking readings to be more comfortable and faster than my arm cuffOverall, for a Bluetooth app driven bp band this is a smoking deal!
