   I compared it to the best rated the WalMart brand ReliOn brand It matched the readings surrounded by a 1 to 2 points. I made sure that my ReliOn was accurate using a stethoscope and also by comparing with a manual unit many times.

   HEM-637 is quiter and greatly smaller than the ReliOn. One feature I like is that it does not start unless held in the assess poisition. The key is to call the hand steady, not step, or talk. To call the arm steady, rest the plam solely below the opposite shoulder. Also, make sure that the wrist does not touch the chest to avoid getting erroneous reading.

   It is, but, $30 more expensive than the ReliOn. Consider purchasing it if you are a traveller or be inflicted with uncontrolled BP. It will allocate you to track BP under various stress conditions (work) without being noticed.

   It stores 99 readings with date and time making recoredkeeping simple. The lack of PC software is not an come forth for me. I find manual recordkeeping is quicker and reasonably adequate.

   I like my Omron 637 wrist blood pressure monitor. It is so convenient — especially with the Advanced Positioning Sensor.* It saves 90 measurements, you can view graphs with the results and helps me to know what my deceased is vacant through. My cardiologist told me to buy this particular brand and model (he gave me a further suggestion but said it wasn’t as excellent as this one). I especially liked it when I felt very weak shopping at a department store after charitable blood earlier in the day — when I went home (with aid of my family), I took a reading and found that I was suffering from a vasovagal episode – swift low blood pressure. I appreciated knowing the readings over the next few days to see my gradual return to normal pressure.

   I am sure that a trained and experienced health check technician with an arm cuff blood pressure monitor could do a more perfect job but this is solely what a person at home can use and not worry it is innacurate sufficient to cause a person’s health to be in jeopardy.

   By the way, someone complained about inaccuracy of these monitors but my doctor had me bring my monitor to the office my last two visits and checked to see if it was any different from a professional using the arm cuff monitor — the difference was negligible. All cardiologists want you to bring your monitor to the office visits so I am sure they don’t recommend inaccurate monitors — I be inflicted with seen the cryptogram in different doctors’ offices saying to always bring your monitor and readings with you.

   I recently bought a further one of these for a friend and it so convenient for them. You don’t be inflicted with to experiment with everywhere to place a cuff on the arm — this one goes right on the wrist and the *Advanced Positioning Sensor lets you know when it is positioned in the assess position near your sensitivity — it toot-toot-beeps and then starts closing down on your wrist to check your blood pressure. It won’t do it unless it is in the right spot.

   By the way, I am still using the first batteries that it either came with or I place in and it has been over 2 1/2 years. Incredible!

   I am an RN & use this blood pressure wrist cuff often. It’s correctness is guarenteed by Omron & certified by the American Sensitivity association. When a quick check is necessary or when people be inflicted with contracted arms it is invaluable.If anyone has distress perhaps instructions are not being read. I be inflicted with owned one for 3 years without problems & am now buying it for each one of my grown children.

   This is a excellent unit for monitoring blood pressure. Purchasers must know ahead that measuring blood pressure with a wrist style monitor is sensitive to arm position. The Intellisense system verifies your arm position previous to it takes a measurement, making it more consistent than units that do not. (Missing Feature) I lowered the rating to 3 stars because the unit is equipped with an interface port, which if you buy the unit in Europe or Asia it also comes with software (missing in USA) and a cable (missing in USA) that allows you to download the data to your pc and share with the doctor. Omron refuses to support this feature in the USA (hence my aggravation)

   My husband & I followed directions, tried different batteries but the blood pressure (B/P) reading is way off. With this machine my husband & I both be inflicted with unbelievable, inaccurate & consistently low readings (averaging 70/48). He & I both place of protection’t had B/P’s lower than 120/80 for yrs. I’m persistent it back to the store.
