Omron HEM-650 

Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-650 Auto Inflate Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. With the HEM-650 90-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. You'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-650 comes with a 5-year warranty.

This is the model I personally use.  Because the HEM-650 is a wrist cuff model, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level, the HEM-650 make this automatic.(see Pros)  It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied.  An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings.  Check with your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.

Conclusion

I have tried some of the cheap models at the drug store.  Omron is ALWAYS more accurate as well as easy to use.  I took my Omron to my doctor's office and compared it's readings with their professional gear - always the same or very close, my doctor was impressed.
