It's the best brand in pressure blood monitors, really. you don't need to buy batteries and the pressure samples are easy and faster. But amazon send me anothe model, not 629, instead they send me 629-N2, differents buttons and same operations funtion.

Not Very Accurate - I Tried 3 of Them - Review written on April 23, 2007

I loved the idea of a wrist blood pressure monitor, so I was happy to get this one. At first, I thought my blood pressure was lower - then I tested a couple family members and then tested it against other monitors. It was always low, so I returned it for another one. Same thing, so the manager at Rite Aid let me try one more - it was also 20 - 25 points low every time.

I am pretty disappointed as it was quick, comfortable and easy to use. If accuracy is important, you might want to test this against some other blood pressure monitors, though. Maybe I got 3 faulty units in a row, but that doesn't seem very likely.
Get it in the right spot - Review written on February 22, 2007

This is a great gadget and I feel that the results are pretty accurate. I have found that you really need to position this in just the right spot on your wrist, though, as it seems like an inch higher or lower makes a big difference. I've found that placing the lower edge about where the lower edge of my watch normally sits seems to have the most accurate readings (about 1.5" from my palm).

This wrist cuff is so easy to use, you can check your blood pressure more frequently. It seems to be as accurate as the arm cuffs. Well worth the investment!

I like this little device because it is very easy to use, holds the information for future reference (memory option) and has a large face with easy to read numbers and it is small in size.

It takes blood pressure and also pulse. It is so much simpler than the old cuff type, just strap on with velcro strap, press blue button. It seems reliable as I get similar readings with other BP monitors. It uses AA batteries which so far seem to last a long time.

Fun, functional and easy. I would give it 5 stars if it held more than one person's information in memory and if it were less expensive.

I find this little machine to be easy to use (when I remember to use it). It takes up very little space I have a tremor so ease of use is important. I also like the LARGE digital display. I recommend this monitor to anyone who has to monitor their blood pressure.

This baby has helped me track my heart through all the highs and lows and ultimately allowed me to assist my doctor in verifying that something is seriously wrong with my blood pressure. We're yet to verify what the culprit is... but this little guy helps me know when to slow down or kick it up a notch.

I would highly recommend this guy if you're looking for a wrist-inflatable blood pressure monitor. It's been consistant, reliable, and informative for both myself and my doctor.

Defect...Cuff Pump...Poor Warranty...Cheap Company... - Review written on March 26, 2004

I bought this unit about 3 weeks ago and within one week the cuff pump doesn't pump up as it should. I checked with the seller (bought it online), she said that she has the same experience once.

I called Omron and they said that I can send it in for repair along with $5.00 for return postage. I told them that this is a defective unit (manufacturer's defect), they should not charge customer for return postage.

I feel that Omron who shipped the defective product should have the courtesy to paid for their own postage. The fault is with them and not consumers, thus we should NOT have to paid for their mistakes.

This is the first and last for me, I do not recommend buying any unit from Omron. There are many other choices, make sure that you do your research and watchout on those rules regarding warranty information.

Good luck.
