For measuring make sure you are rested (5-10 minute cool down) back supported, feet flat on the ground, arm rested at about heart height, not listening or talking to anyone (no phone watching) and measure on a BARE arm. If you miss any of these it can vary your measurement by 5 to 40mm of mercury. On an accurate device, unusually high readings are often one of the above root causes.
If you're measuring high or want to get a more accurate spread of readings wait at least a minute before measuring again.
I personally own the OMRON Platinum, a very similar model. I like the multiple reading setting where it takes up to 3 measurements 1 minute apart but their software averages them. I just record the individual readings.
And avoid wrist cuffs like the plague unless you have a condition or injury that precludes an arm cuff. They are the worst type for accuracy and we have driven them out of our ambulatory clinics. Their measurements are all over the map and are worse than useless as they give both false low and high readings.
For Sam's Club members, you can get this Series 7 with Free AC adapter for the same price. [samsclub.com]

Ac Adapter
$6.99, save on batteries

Hard Carrying Case, Black
$20.99, so not very slick https://a.co/d/fiua778
How's the app (ease of use, functionality)? Does it allow for export of BP history in a spreadsheet format which can be sent to a phone or computer?
Battery life?

I've wondered from time to time how many people on high blood pressure meds are false positives due to wrong blood pressure readings by inept medical staff.

There are people who value doing it correctly, and others who do not.
Medical staff are not any more accurate as 'listening' isn't the same between practitioners.
There are other factors that also play a part in doing it manually, with variations occurring.
Manual cuffs can also be used incorrectly and give improper readings.
The only accuracy is doing readings over several weeks and months to get a true base line.
It doesn't matter if it's using a machine or having it manually done.
What's important is the method is consistent.
If there's a concern with the equipment, then get it calibrated.
And most importantly, don't take advice regarding health from a deals forum.
This is an okay deal.
The Series 10 was had for $32 earlier, when combined with discounts and coupons.
Uses the same A/C adapter and case as posted for this one.
