I have been using this for just over a month and must say it is a very impressive device. As someone who has White Coat Syndrome I was never sure whether my blood pressure was under control or not, each time my blood pressure was taken I could feel myself starting to tense and anxiety creep in, in anticipation of a high reading - even when taking a blood pressure reading myself at home.Even with the Aktiia when I first started using it I would glance down at my wrist and feel myself tense, but not anymore, now I forget I’m wearing it and so I believe that I now have an accurate blood pressure reading, in 1 month the device has given me an average blood pressure taken from 911 readings.The Cuff supplied, which is a smart version of a traditional BP monitor, is used at the beginning to calibrate the wrist device, and then once a month thereafter.The app is brilliant too, I can check what my blood pressure has been on a given time on a given day, or the average for the day, week or month. My next step is to generate a report from the app which gives you more information than you can shake a stick at, and book in for a medication review with my GP.To finish, just an observation on some of the other comments, the device is NOT waterproof and it states this quite clearly in the description/instructions, so if you decide to take a shower or go for a swim whilst wearing it then it’s your own fault.Again it states that a reading will be taken on average once every hour WHEN RESTING, so if you’re out for a walk, mowing the lawn or undertaking any other kind of movement, then a reading will not be taken.
