Electronic blood pressure monitor

Why We Chose It

Why is this the best choice? Simple. It's for the big-armed folks who can't squeeze into those dainty, regular cuffs. You get a cuff so large, it could double as a leg warmer. It's got 3 programmable reminders, because who doesn’t love a little nagging from their blood pressure monitor? And if you're forgetful, its memory storage holds 60 readings. That's like having your own personal medical historian. Plus, it averages the last three readings, just in case one was taken during a wrestling match. The app lets you track your heart's every move, assuming you're willing to input each reading manually. Clinical-level accuracy, they claim, which is a fancy way of saying, 'Trust us, we're almost as good as a real doctor.' With a 5-year monitor warranty, it's built to last longer than your New Year's resolutions.

What It Does

• Reminds you thrice daily. Just like Mom.
• Handles Hulk-sized arms with ease.
• Stores 60 readings. A memory better than yours.
• Large LCD. No squinting required.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't fit in your jacket pocket.
• Doesn't brew coffee. Yet.
• Won't auto-upload data. Manual labor required.
• Doesn't improve your fitness. Sorry.

Tech Specs

• XL cuff: 42-60 cm. For the broad-shouldered.
• Stores 60 readings. For the memory-impaired.
• 3 programmable reminders. Persistent, isn't it?
• Dual pump system. Inflates faster than your ego.

Who It's For

Meet Bob, a retired wrestler with arms like tree trunks. Bob needs a cuff that doesn't feel like a tourniquet. Then there's Susan, a tech enthusiast who loves anything with an app, even if it's just a glorified spreadsheet. She'll manually enter her readings while pretending she's in a sci-fi movie. Finally, we have Grandma Edna, who loves the big LCD because her eyesight's not what it used to be. She likes pushing the big button and feeling like a tech wizard. Each finds something to love—or tolerate—in this monitor, because life is about compromises, right?
