We have a small one, but it's not as accurate anymore so we're looking into getting a new one. My husband is bad about using it and I sometimes forget.

I have a cheap one that measures at the wrist. It seems reasonable accurate. I forget the brand name, some unpronounceable Chinese thing from Amazon. I don't use it much, it was more a curiosity to get a periodic reading between my annual checkups. It was the sort of thing that I used daily for a while out of interest, and now it sits more or less unloved.

Yes I have one. My cardiologist uses an app for you to report your BP, Pulse and weight 3 times a week and also asks a few more questions. My monitor is an Omrom Evolv wireless upper arm.

Yes, I have and use one, but if I were to offer any advice about them it would be not to spend a fortune on the models that supposedly give you all sorts of information that you don't need or care about. The basic model that uses a cuff on the upper arm isn't particularly expensive and gives you your BP reading + pulse rate, and also has a way to store the results if you care to do that, is quite adequate.
