Omron
I understand you should wait for awhile (30 minutes?) after taking your BP before taking it again. You should also wait after any activity and stay seated for at least five minutes before taking the measurement.

I use a 10 year old Omron wrist cuff. I take it in to the doctor’s office occasionally to make sure it’s still accurate.
Why take your BP so often, was it recommended by your doctor? My doctor actually recommends not taking it so often.
When I do take it at home I use a Omron brand digital.
An Omron model. We have a series 10 model, replaced one we had for about 15 years that finally gave up the ghost. Records readings for two different users, can measure one pass or average three passes.

I’ve been using an Omron HEM-712C for years now. Seems tough and very reliable.

Being both a heart patient, and, a dialysis patient, I take mine fairly regularly...however, I’m looking more for a “trend” than an accurate, to the point, reading.
I use a automatic cuff I bought at CVS, and it seems pretty close to the machine at dialysis. Those machines at the clinic monitor my BP constantly for four hours, three days a week.
Hope this helps.
I go to Rite Aid....I know it’s calibrated and it jives with my doctors.
We have a 10 year old Panasonic W3153 that works very well, checked it against my Doctor’s cuff and it read the same.
I refuse to use one——would drive myself nuts.

I use a Microlife BP3MC1-PC and get fairly good correlation to rating in get in medical offices.

Omron is the make......can you purchase these models in stores or through the maker?
I use one on my wrist got from walmart. It reads higher than my doctor. I find ifI use the same one every day I can at least track increases and decreases. Put you arm on the desk or arm rest and in the same position every time. Don’t talk during. It just takes a few seconds.
Use three ReliOn models from Walmart - wrist, basic turn on and inflate, and fancier self-inflating with memory modes et al - all agree more closely with each other than readings I get in most doctors’ offices - manual or electronic - which are usually ten to fifteen points higher than I get at home......
Omron. Mine is fairly accurate. Got it at Walmart.
Get a pressure cuff, stethoscope and learn the old fashioned way.
I’ve been through a ton of the machines and they never do quite the job
Shouldn’t you be looking for relative changes anyway. My home scale is always off a pound or two. But I know what the general difference is, and relatively speaking, I know if I am headed in the right direction.
My husband - and his cardiologist - swear by Omron Model: BP786N. Batteries and also a jack for wall plug and blue tooth to connect with your cell phone. Collects the data and plots a chart. He’s a scientist and it is up to his standards. Amazon `$100.
