Check your blood pressure anywhere!
booooo! we want something cool!

Way too young for this item, but would be a great Holiday gift for your Boss who is always losing his head.
Would be good to use if you are older and working out. . .
My doctor says don’t trust these wrist type monitors.
I… don’t understand why we would need this product. Does it have a plugin for Quake?
Wow…Merry Christmas…take your blood pressure…hope someone out there can use this - not me…
Just bought one for the wife… darn. And no, we are not 70. She is just very high strung. Before you laugh, think of what it is like to live with her… j/k.
wrist monitors arent that accurate. Mine, which is a better known brand, even shows about 20pts off. Run from this.

Well, The doctor MUST be wrong, because here is an article touting wrist monitors being good as gold. I have an Omron, BTW.
