Amazon.com Product Description
Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. And with the HEM-670IT's 100-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. The HEM-670IT also features a system that detects an irregular heartbeat as well as morning hypertension, giving you an even better understanding of your heart's health. A built-in hypertension indicator lets you know if your readings indicate a high-blood pressure condition. Plus, you'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-670IT comes with a 5-year warranty. Because the HEM-670IT has a wrist cuff, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure, fortunately, the HEM-670IT features an advanced positioning sensor that automatically confirms that the cuff is level with the user's heart, thereby ensuring an accurate reading. It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.

 Don't they have Beta Testers? October 6, 2008
I wanted to be able to take my own blood pressure quietly and unobtrusively (at work and eleswhere). I checked the consumer ratings and found that wrist type blood pressure cuffs are never as accurate as those that measure the brachial artery pressure, but the Omron was better rated than some of the other brands. I got the HEM-670IT because it came with the Advanced Omron Health Management Software that lets you store and analyze your readings in a computer. Yeah, I'm a gadget freak!
Overall I've been happy with the convenience and the accuracy. I checked it against the doctor's office and both the systolic and diastolic were within 10%. It's especially important to follow the instructions with a wrist-cuff meter and always to be consistent. The HEM-670IT has a sensor that tells you when you need to raise your wrist until it's the same height as your heart to cancel any difference in pressure, due to gravity.
Amazon offered a package deal with the Omron HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer that also uses the Advanced Omron Health Management Software. You can store your exercise readings alongside your blood pressure readings. So, I ordered them as a pair.
Here's where things go awry. You'd think that Omron would've designed both units to use the same cable, but you'd be wrong. I anticipated being able to use the same cable on both units, leaving one cable at home and the other cable at work, so I didn't have to constantly tote a cable. Well, since the don't use the same cable, I have to tote both cables so as to have them at home and work. What's worse, although the Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor comes in an adequate, hard plastic case, its data cable has a giant hard plastic "dongle" in the middle of the cable which makes it impossible to carry it in the case with the meter. I suppose the "dongle" has some "secret electronics" in it that are necessary, but come on! If we can put a dune buggy on Mars, you'd think we would be able to make a cable that will fit in the carrying case or a carrying case that will fit around the cable.
Batteries? Yes they both have them. The cuff uses 2 AAAs. If I could've found another brand that used 2 AAs we wouldn't be having this conversation. The pedometer uses a Lithium "coin" battery (who ever has the right replacement on hand when they need it?) and requires a miniture cross-point screwdriver to change it.
I give this combo 3 stars, but with a little forethought on Omron's part it could'a been a 5.
A+
 Most accurate wrist blood pressure monitor! October 6, 2008
I had a lot different blood pressure monitors,arm,wrist,standard,digital,mercury,blood pressure monitors,but amazingly the results are exactly same as mercury blood pressure monitor that is most accurate,the only problem is if your heartbeat is too weak then it shows 10% less than what mercury blood pressure monitor shows,so don't buy it if your heartbeat is too weak!

Ademonstration video would be a big help.
One picture is worth a thousand words.
Once you get the hang of it, it works quite well.
