Amazon.com Product Description
Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor) uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. And with the HEM-650's 90-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. The HEM-650 also features a system that detects an irregular heartbeat, giving you an even better understanding of your heart's health. Plus, you'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-650 comes with a 5-year warranty.
Because the HEM-650 has a wrist cuff, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure, fortunately, the HEM-650 features an advanced positioning sensor that automatically confirms that the cuff is level with the user's heart, thereby ensuring an accurate reading.
It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.

Some complained about getting a good reading. I had no problem, if I was sitting with my forearm at a 45 degree angle towards the ceiling. Worked everytime!

I have been using a wrist blood pressure monitor for several years, but recently the band broke so I was in the market for a new one. The Omron HEM-650 had the best ratings across the review sites I visited. Since I received the device it has been a pleasure to use. The accuracy appears to be excellent (I have not checked it with the medical profession yet). The display is easy to read, and the average function is handy. I did find one strange and unique function. Most blood pressure monitors increase the pressure (manually or automatically) until all blood flow is cut off, then gradually release the pressure measuring the systolic pressure and then the diastolic pressure as the cuff pressure is released. The HEM-650 automatically starts increasing the pressure slowly measuring the diastolic pressure and then the systolic pressure on the way up, and then releases all the pressure. The value in this is that you never experience more pressure than is necessary to measure the systolic pressure. The advanced positioning sensor is somewhat flaky. If you hold your arm against your chest with the device at heart level it works fine. However, if you want to rest your elbow on a table or chair arm and position the device at heart level, it is difficult to find the place where the sensor is happy.Overall, I rate the HEM-650 as an excellent device and would recommend it to others.

Getting the sensor to be activated is a painful task. I had to re-position myself many times to have BP measured. Many times the monitor stopped working mid-way because I moved a bit and gave inconsistent results within 1-2 mins of measurement.Frankly, I am not a big fan of wrist monitors. Arm-monitors are more reliable albiet a bit bulky in today's technology standards.

My wife used it about 4 days and now it does not beep until it hears the heart beat but just takes off and is inaccurate.

I bought this BP wrist monitor a couple of months ago. So far, I like it very much.Seems to be accurate. Whenever I have my BP taken in a doctor's office, it goes sky high from nervousness!! I always wonder why they don't take it when you are relaxed (if that's possible) or why they don't have your arm at heart level??? makes a huge difference in the reading. maybe they want to scare you into take drugs for it???
Just a thought........
