Fwiw, OMRON produces high-quality blood-pressure monitors for consumers.

Even these, though, tend to overestimate your actual blood pressure, sometimes by as much as 10 points.

But having one in the home makes it easy to take several readings throughout the day, since each one hardly lasts a minute.

A few years ago their Bluetooth apps didn’t require registration, now the do. So now you’d need to keep track of the measurements yourselves, e.g. using a spreadsheet. Can not recommend Omron anymore.

Doctors in the UK use Omron monitors.
