Upper arm or wrist?
Upper arm. This is the type used in clinics and considered more accurate, because it measures a larger artery at a height close to the heart. If the monitor is for regular tracking, this is the type.
Wrist. Smaller, easier to use on your own and convenient for travel. But it is more sensitive to position: if the wrist is not at heart height, the reading changes noticeably.
One critical point that gets ignored: cuff size. A cuff too small for your arm gives a falsely high reading. Measure your upper arm circumference and compare it with the range the device states.
How to measure correctly
Poor technique gives wrong numbers — and wrong numbers lead to wrong conclusions.
Five minutes of rest beforehand. Seated, back supported, feet on the floor and not crossed.
The arm at heart height, resting on a table. A hanging arm means a higher reading.
No talking during the measurement, and not after coffee, a cigarette or exercise — wait at least thirty minutes.
Two readings a minute apart, and take the average. The first reading is often higher.
What to do with the numbers
A monitor records, it does not diagnose. One high reading means nothing on its own — what matters is the trend over time.
That is why measurement memory is a useful feature, and app connectivity even more so: you give your doctor weeks of history rather than one number from today.
If your readings are consistently outside the normal range, or an arrhythmia indicator appears, speak to your doctor. The device gives you data; interpreting it is a doctor’s job.

Frequently asked questions
- Upper arm or wrist?
- Upper arm for regular tracking — it is considered more accurate. Wrist for convenience and travel, with care over arm position.
- Why does it give different numbers each time?
- Blood pressure varies naturally through the day. Measure at the same time with the same technique, and take the average of two readings.
- How do I know the cuff fits?
- Measure your upper arm circumference and compare with the range the device states. A cuff that is too small gives a falsely high reading.
- What does the arrhythmia indicator mean?
- That the device detected an irregular pulse during the measurement. It is not a diagnosis — if it repeats, tell your doctor.
- What warranty do they carry?
- 18 monitors carry a five-year warranty, 14 three years and 24 two years.
Choose the correct cuff size and measure with consistent technique. And remember: the device provides data, your doctor provides the interpretation.
