Omron HEM-650 Wrist

Great product easy to use and accurate. Feature that indicates irregular heart beat is a plus because you can see at an instant if the heart is not beating as it should. Portability and ease of use with… not needing to put a cuff around the arm makes it a snap to put on record the blood pressure and beats per min (can hold 90 records before it overwrites the oldest) uses AA batteries so no cords needed.

I've been using Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Cuffs for years now. I like this one because they made it much smaller and sleeker. This is very handy to have around. I have to check my pressure a few times a… day. This is very easy to operate. It also has an internal memory to keep I think the last 14 readings along with their dates and times. It's simple one hand operation, and it has an automated positioning system so it will work when your arm is at the correct level with your heart. You don't have to pump anything up. It's all automatic. You can also set it for right or left wrist use. Has a nice carrying case. You can also bring it to the doctor to show him or her your recent readings. You can just scroll through them. I got one for my parents, and they love it too.

I recently bought this portable unit through Amazon. It arrived within 3 business days. I also have a Omron Automatic BP monitor, model HEM-712c. I have been comparing results between the two units and have… noticed that the wrist BP monitor consistently read lower on the systolic and higher on the diastolic when compared to the HEM-712c results. The heart rate also runs higher. I always checked my blood pressure within 5 mins of my initial reading. I'm not sure if the difference is naturally due to location of the pressure point being measured. Would I recommend this unit? Probably not as a primary BP monitor. Collect more data so you can have a better idea how much bias the unit has when compared to more accurate monitors. You will have a better indicator of what your BP really is when using this unit.
