As far as I’m concerned, if you can’t mount a gadget on your wrist, it isn’t worth owning. You probably think you’re pretty “with it”, strutting around with that watch on, but I scoff. Like this: scoff! Oh, you say you’ve got a calculator on yours? Nice try, amateur. Get back to me when you’ve built a wrist-mounted DVD player, or webcam, or carbon-monoxide detector, or microwave. Perhaps then you’ll be worthy of my company.

So when my doctor told me my blood pressure was looking a little questionable, I knew I either had to find a wrist-mounted way to keep an eye on it, or die. There was no third option.

Don’t start making my funeral arrangements just yet. The HealthPro Compact Wristwatch-Style Blood Pressure Monitor keeps a close watch on my systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings just the way I like it: wrist-style. The Proper Position Indicator lets me know if I’ve got it on correctly, because anything worth wearing on your wrist is worth wearing right. And it saves up to 60 readings, so I can track my blood pressure history without recourse to non-wrist-mounted devices. Whew!
