A Useful, Convenient Blood Pressure Monitor July 14, 2008
After reading a series of reviews of wrist monitors, I purchased the Prevention monitor. Although the Omron monitor was also highly rated by a British group, the Prevention monitor seemed to have all the features I thought I would need. The accuracy (relative to an Omron arm monitor) and reproducibility have been excellent. The unit is small enough to toss into my suitcase and convenient to use at work. I haven't had the unit long enough to know how durable it will be. The day I received the unit, one of my co-workers used it to check her blood pressure. She ended up going to the doctor because her pressure was so high. Even though we've had arm units at work for years, folks have been reluctant to use them because of the ritual required to use them.

Prevention WS-820PV Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor May 19, 2008
Very accurate. We checked it against our family doctors office readings and we trust it completely. Well made and easy to use.

Very quick & simple April 17, 2008
This is great for fast & simple monitoring of your blood pressure & pulse. It takes about 1 minute to give you blood pressure & pulse, and it tells you if it detects an irregular pulse (such as PVC). There's no fuss, and no stethoscope, nor hand pump, nor any of that old school stuff. The formed wrist band has a velcro strap which fastens & unfastens quickly & easily, and everything is done at the push of a button. You can do it easily all by yourself.

Note: if, for some reason, you really need super-accurate readings, then you have to be careful to have your wrist always at the same level (relative to your heart) every time you take a reading, because you can get different readings if your wrist is higher or lower than your heart; but that is true with any device. I just try to have my arm be "about" the same place (relative to the heart), so I get pretty consistent readings, and at least I know the general range. I don't care about a difference between, say, 117/69 and 119/72 -- I just want to know if I'm unusually high or low, and this is plenty accurate for that.

This device has 2 30-entry memories (to keep track for 2 different people, or to keep track of morning & evening, or something like that), but I don't even use them because I just want to know where I am at the given time. If you are interested, it will display an average of the readings in each memory, and you can look back through the last 30 individual readings in each memory.

The one negative point is that it needs ALKALINE batteries, not nickle metal hydride (apparently because the electric field from the hydride batteries would interfere with the electronics the device uses to detect pulses). It needs 2 AAA batteries, and so far one set of batteries has lasted me 100 readings or so.

Great February 23, 2008
You would not be disappointed in this blood pressure cuff. It works great for my husband and I. You can both keep your blood pressure log so easy without having to write it down. Very easy .

Dr. says "most accurate wrist monitor he's seen" February 22, 2008
We couldn't get our old cuff monitor to work properly, so we decided on trying a wrist monitor. After much study, I chose this one. Turns out the Dr. said it was more accurate than any he's seen. Now we can take our blood pressure at home without having to go to the doctor's office or grocery store. The doctor knows the variation and can determine if our meds are working properly. If my husband can use it...it's really easy to use! He won't mess with anything that is difficult to work with. I would definitely recommend this unit.
