Our expert testers look at two different kinds of home blood pressure monitors – arm monitors, which take a reading from the upper part of the arm, and wrist monitors, which attach like a watch.

We give every blood pressure monitor a thorough workout to find the models that:

• are best at returning accurate blood pressure readings
• are the easiest to use
• display an irregular heartbeat
• display hypertension
• have been validated by a medical research organisation (in this case, by Medaval).
