I saw a half-hour ad about this device and it sounds great, I have never been able to use an arm bp monitor because i have really big arms and even with the extra larger cuff, just continually got error messages. so I thought a wrist monitor would work better for me. or should I just get a Fitbit> how are they? I need accuracy. i am on 4 kinds of bp meds and they will want to keep a close eye on my numbers after I leave the hospital. thanks!

Hi Goldey

I prefer the Omron cuff monitor which has served me well for many years. Recommend besides comments here do research and make your choice,

Please keep in mind with AFib an accurate BP like HR is difficult to measure I read taking BP three times in a row is best.

When I go to the cardiologist, the technician takes BP with the stethoscope and monitor. Not sure how that works

Evaluate info you receive, research and make your decision.
