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.

It took me a little while to get the knack of how to correctly place the monitor over my heart but once I got it right it was a breeze to use! The monitor is easy to read. I'm very pleased with this product.

Checking blood pressure at grocery story or pharmacy or at Doctor's office is not alway that convinent. So, I bought this little gadget. I am amazed how easy it is to use. I like the automatic start featuer. It start measuring after sensing you have placed your arm in the right place.
I have not calibrated it with Doctor's finding, however, I'll take the device to Doctor's office and make sure what this little thing tells me is correct.

This item (Omron HEM-650) is difficult to use. It has to be lined up just right in a certain location near the heart and the elbow held in place with your other hand, to avoid movement. In that odd position it's no wonder you have to hold on. In my view this device is definitely not designed with people in mind, especially older folks. This is not a simple strap on and start device, as most others are. For that reason alone I would not rate it with any stars at all, if given that option.

Worked ok for first couple of weeks. I think i am going to have to return it. That positioning sensor is very difficult to get just right. I'm disapointed, I delibertly shopped for Omron because I have other Omron products and they work just fine.

This item is a lot better than the previous omron that I have. No guessing on how high or how low I should position my wrist to my chest. This one gives me an accurate reading so far.
