Hello and welcome to the forum! I use an Omron M3. Useful features are it stores your results so you can show your GP and their is a Guest option so you check another family member without messing up your own results. It uses an upper arm cuff. The wrist ones are best avoided.

I agree have had an Omron for over 20 years just got a new one M3 it’s great.

Omron M7

this model allows you to download your BP readings to the app onto your phone & also allows you to send the data what has been stored to your heart medical team .

Was around £60 from Amazon when I purchased this last year

Add my voice to the Omron chorus - accurate, very reliable and easy to use straight out of the box.

Bonus1: Boots can recalibrate quickly and the cost is quite reasonable (checks recommended every two years for most models).

Bonus2: taking the unit with you to the GP or consultant to make sure your's and their monitors agree usually results in the nurse/GP/consultant congratulating you for making a wise choice of home monitors.

ETA: be sure to check the cuff size - you may need to purchase a smaller or larger cuff size to ensure correct readings.
