Easy to Wear, Use, and Read
I like this product, but right off the bat I am going to mention the worst thing I've found about this product so you can plan accordingly. The battery compartment is exceedingly difficult to open as there's only a slight indentation with no added structural grip, and the strap itself makes it difficult to get behind it to push it open (see picture). In the end I had to use a tool out of my nail care kit to help pop it open.Once I got the batteries in and the compartment closed the experience improved considerably. The initial date & time setup is quite simple. It does use 24-hour time, so keep that in mind. The screen is easy to read for the setup, and even easier to read in operation.Putting the cuff on was quite easy for me, but I don't have any loss of function in my hands. Your mileage may vary. On my wrist (a moderately slight one for my size and sex) fitting of the initial stiff part of the cuff held it securely enough that securing the rest of the cuff was not difficult. I also tested this by putting the cuff on my mother and found it quite easy, and her reading was right in her usual range.Operation is even easier. Just press the START/STOP button, and if you need to change user before it starts just tap the double person outline to set it to 1 or 2. Then the device starts up. In the varying times I tried it, the device easily sensed when it needs to "pump up" more. As you can see in the final reading in my pictures, my bp was high and therefore in red. (It's a bit difficult to take a decent picture of this while in progress, so I'm not surprised it was elevated in that instance.)I have no idea how well calibrated it is compared to a manual reading taken by a trained medical professional, but I suspect it is not far off, as the actual biology and physics behind the measurement is straightforward enough.If I have any issues down the line I will update this review, as well as give a progress report on the longevity of the batteries.

Highly Recommend!
I received this products as part of a money back promo for the review and am quite happy with it. I purchased it to use in the dental office I work at. The setup looks easy enough in the instruction booklet but I did have a little struggle with it. I did not set the date correctly and had a hard time time getting back the initial setup screen. It really should just have a reset button. Once I get back to the correct place I tried to set it again and had no problems this time. The device came very neatly packaged. I like the storage bag that comes with it as it seems to be very sturdy. The screen is very clear and easy to read. It was very easy to put on and the reading was accurate. Accuracy really will depend on the correct positioning of the person using the device so as long as the user knows the correct way to take a blood pressure reading it should be accurate. The multiple user function is also an added benefit for at home use. It is very nice to be able to keep an accurate log for each person and not have to write it down separately. Overall this is a great product at a great price. I highly recommend it.

Easy to use
This is a very nice blood pressure monitor. It is designed for use only on the left wrist. It has a relatively large screen for its size and the blood pressure numbers are plenty large enough that I don’t have to wear my reading glasses to see it. It is easy to use and easy to switch between each of the two user profiles. It is also easy to view the readings stored in memory and stores up to 99 entries for each user. I love the different colors that indicate the status of your blood pressure (depending on how high your blood pressure is: green, yellow & red). Though, it should be noted that your blood pressure will be displayed as green, even when it falls within the “elevated” (systolic: 120-129 mm Hg) or even “stage 1 hypertension” (diastolic: 80-89 mm Hg), according to the American Heart Association, so it’s important to know your numbers and where they fall (see an example of this in the picture). Although there are actual buttons on the face, there are also two touch screen buttons on the sides of the face to allow you to easily scroll through the blood pressure readings. Note: In the instructions it explains how to clear the Memory for each user. After some troubleshooting, I discovered that these instructions are incorrect. To clear the Memory, first make sure that you are in the correct user profile (either 1 or 2) and then hold down the MEM button for a few seconds to clear the memory for that user (“No” will be displayed for that user until the next blood pressure reading is taken).

Large Color Coded Display
The media could not be loaded. I like the product for a couple of reasons: it’s compact and fit the wrist nicely. Easy to use, just press start and choose the user (1 or 2), wait a couple seconds and the device starts and automatically powers off after a few seconds of inactivity. It captures the time and date accurately for later recalls. Best of all, the large and easy to read display with three color indicators green, yellow and red to provide the status.With any products, improvement opportunities may be needed. That said, the instruction can be clearer with respect to acceptable values used for color coded statuses and initial settings (time/date). Users should have an option to choose time format. The instruction booklet’s fonts can be bigger.Overall, the product has great functionality and PRICE!
