Avoid wrist monitors like the plague, wildly inaccurate. Unless you have a medical condition that prevents upper arm measurement (in both arms) don't waste your money on ANY wrist cuff. We are purging these from our outpatient clinics as they give terrible readings. This isn't just my opinion but also that of the AMA/AHA and many studies. It's unfortunate because they are typically the cheapest ones on the shelves and when someone hears they need a BP cuff they think this is ok. They just aren't. Save your money get an Omron 3 series or Bronze for about the same price.
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.
Stay away from the wrist blood pressure monitor. This is only reserved for people that have huge arms and the cuff doesn't fit. No circulation at the wrist and not accurate
Wrist is less accurate but for convenience especially for travel use, wrist is a nice alternative. Having both would cover all bases of course
If you have a condition that requires monitoring use one that works regardless of size. The worst part of wrist cuffs is they often measure LOW as well as high so you can get a false sense of security.

Microlife BP monitor available @ Costco B&M for ~$35 - Upper arm and recommended by some online reviews is a good alternative for those who want to consider upper arm monitor.

I agree if BP is not well controlled and patient's condition requires accurate readings then one that works consistently accurate regardless of size is key.
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…

We use all types and they all pretty much match. Read the Consumer Reports reviews. Get two. Test at the same time in Dr's office.
Thanks! Had money left on the HSA account to use before eoy
If you have HSA funds, they should not expire at the end of the year. HSA accounts are tied to an individual and can accumulate each year.
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.

Honestly (not giving medical advice here) if the BP is in control then there's not much need to pack one for a trip.
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.
