Which BP Monitor should I buy?
Omron HEM-7120 Blood Pressure Monitor is the budget option which should be the best option for most people. However currently it comes with a medium cuff size. If your arm size is more than 12” then it will not work for you. Omron HEM-7130L and Omron HEM-7132 are very similar. These two cost more than 7120 but have extra features for convenience such as 60 reading memory, large cuff size etc. So for large cuff size any of these is good. You can also buy a manual bp monitor like Rossmaxx GB102 but it’s not for everyone as it requires more effort and good technique for getting right information from it.

Tracking your blood pressure measurement is important. It shows how well your efforts for healthy living are working.
