Multiple blood pressure readings taken at home provide a more accurate picture than a single doctor's office check. But finding and setting up the clunky monitors is aggravating.
These new wrist monitors don't require connection with a smart phone or Wi-Fi. They start by themselves when you put them on. They are available online and in stores such as Walmart and others.
The Omron 7 Series Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor: 353 reviewers give it 4.5 stars. The Omron 7 costs $58.88 at Walmart.
The $22 Advocate Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is a big seller at Walmart: 328 reviewers give it four stars.
Both monitors wrap around the wrist like a bracelet to give their readings. They are entirely portable and don't take up much room on a kitchen counter or bathroom counter, and they can fit into larger hand bags.
