Omron 7 Series BP652 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

Every time I go to the doctors my blood pressure is always high. I wanted to make sure it wasn't something serious so I bought a monitor and tested myself at home.

Looks like I only had "white coat hypertension" all along...

FYI: I don't know how true this is, but I read recently that the wrist blood pressure monitors aren't as accurate as the variety the goes on your arm.

Definitely take it to your doctor to compare. I am surprised to hear your doctor uses the same model or any wrist model at that but that is good to hear. I too thought there was a possibility for pre-hypertension because my BP was always high when I saw the doctor. I kept telling him it was him but he was worried. Turns out I am pretty fine all things considering.

The reason wrist monitors supposedly aren't as good as those that go on your upper arm has everything to do with where your heart is. I guess you want the monitor level with your heart so if you can measure your BP with your wrist level with your heart then it is perfect. I assure you, the wrist model is probably much less of a pain in the ass to secure correctly around your arm than mine is. Same brand as well.

Paycheck came, repainted room & new carpet.

1) Samsung EH5000 32" 1080p (One sale for $300 + Target discount).

2) One of the ladies at work asked me for gum and I told her I just ate me last one. As much as it was the truth I know people hate hearing that excuse next to "I have to hang up, my batteries almost dead," so I bought her a pack today:

3) Sent my dad the check for the car note & paid moms phone bill.

4) Xbox 360 Wired Controller since my old one was shorting out and I'm still not sold on the Xbox One just yet (let's see what E3 brings).

Just got an Oyster Perpetual DateJust. I was debating between the Submariner and this one but I decided to get this model instead because it looks more feminine and elegant since I'm a girl, that's what I wanted. Oh and I didn't take off the plastic covering on the dial when I took these photos, not sure if it's visible or not.

Welcome to the world of Rolex ownership. Very classy watches. I bought a Datejust as well a few years ago.

What color are those? It kind of looks like Fruity Pebbles vomit.

I love fruity pebbles. Might be why I went with that specific color

I DIDNT FORGET.

Hahahaa. I haven't forgotten as well! My friends and cousins are still asking me to apply get a PS+. I haven't used my PS4 for a week now, ever since I got Mario Kart 8. But seriously if I ever get a PS+ account, I'll let you know

Re: Rolex - thank you! It is absolutely gorgeous. The photos do not do it justice at all. They're blurry, because the actual size of the pictures are too big and when I resized them smaller, the quality got distorted. You also got a Rolex not so long ago, if I recall correctly. What model was it?

Hahaha sounds good! Hopefully you won't end up buying PS+ months later with FIFA 15 already out

And very good memory! I purchased a Sub a couple months ago. Absolutely adore the watch. I didn't have the pleasure between deciding between your lovely date just and the SubC though. Probably because Im a male and your watch would have looked a small on my wrists hah.

But anywho, enjoy and wear it in good health!

 

[Hey Apple!]

I needed to replace my old monitor and was looking for a monitor with a glossy display and found the Dell S2340M for a good price.

I've had this monitor since Christmas 2012. It has been great!

Those are great monitors for the money. You can get two of them for well under 1/3rd the price of an Apple display.

Went to the store to buy strawberries but got lost in the candle section. Fortunately, the candle I bought smells of strawberries—which is sort of like buying strawberries—and is covered in glitter for some reason.

Yes, the Submariner looked huge on my wrist and more manly.

But anywho, enjoy and wear it in good health!

Thank you and likewise!

I thought it looked great in the store. I'm slightly worried about any possible glare, but I think I'll love it once I unpack it and start using it. I'm glad to hear you have had positive experiences with this monitor as I really regretted the last monitor I bought.

Yeah, I was looking for a lower cost alternative to the Apple display. While this monitor cannot be expected to be of the same caliber, I felt that the price was very on par with its quality and it met my budget requirements.
