This is from the validatebp.org site (compilation of 3rd party tested devices that meet clinical accuracy)
Wrist Cuff Device Disclaimer:
Clinical guidelines call for the user of an upper arm blood pressure (BP) measurement device that has been validated for clinical accuracy for self-measured blood pressure (SMBP). However, a validated wrist cuff blood pressure (BP) device may be used in place of an upper arm device for certain clinical indications, specific patient needs, or additional circumstances (eg, upper arm cuff not suitable for patient arm circumference, unavailability of devices with the appropriate small, large or extra large size cuffs, medical conditions where upper arm devices cannot or should not be used).
Proper technique is especially important when using a wrist cuff device to obtain accurate readings. The device must be correctly placed over the radial artery and held at heart level when readings are taken, with limited movement or wrist flexion.

If someone has decently controlled BP and is not compliant with BP readings because an upper arm device is too bulky for his/her/carry-on luggage but would use a wrist monitor instead?
I think compliance (with proper technique) and having options are a good thing…

I think FSA or LPFSA accounts are tied to an employer and depending on the rules of the plan funds may need to be spent by the end of the year. Employers are allowed to give an option of a rollover of a limited amount of funds to the next year, or an extended spend period, or neither.

The problem with wrist is the bad readings are typically independent of technique. Again per studies and recommendations. It's the same as packing a thermometer that has an accuracy range of +/- 2-3 degrees. What's the point?
This is basically the dead last option. I just spent a good chunk of my day last week replacing the factory cuff on a pile of Welch Allyn 1700s with the XL cuff that works with it for our bariatric patients. It is the largest arm cuff available for home machines and you have to go through this process, they can't be ordered that way. There's a couple other home devices that have xl cuffs but the Welch Allyn is the biggest xl cuff available and the machine itself is still only about $99. We use these for loaners in our ambulatory clinics along with a large number of regular size cuff models.
