Very compact and quiet blood pressure monitor for $55.75 from Best Buy. Between myself and other family members, we have five of this model and have been using this model for several years. My parents use theirs several times a day and the two AAA batteries last them six months. I use mine sporadically and the original batteries supplied with the unit have lasted several years.
I recently bought an OMRON upper arm cuff version as folks online say they are more accurate than the wrist ones, but I found that to be not true. You just have to use the wrist ones a specific way and they are quite accurate. You have to be seated and hold your left wrist against your chest at heart level. I returned the upper arm version as the wrist one is much easier to use and takes up much less space.
On Amazon this is $62 from 3rd party sellers. On Walmart it is $54, but also from 3rd party seller. This is the lowest price I have seen from a reputable seller recently, and bought two myself for other family members. I had previously purchased these for $39 from Amazon several years ago based on a post here.

If these instructions are followed, wrist monitors are much easier to use than upper arm cuff ones.

Another issue is you need to make sure the device stays within spec, and there's no adjustment for consumer automatic cuffs, you basically have to replace them.
We have found automatic cuffs to all be highly technique sensitive so make sure you're doing it right. Feet flat on floor, back supported, arm supported at heart height, no talking or listening. And always over a bare arm (the worst offender) with the right size cuff. (too big will give a low reading too small will give a high reading)
