Thanks Katie.

Very interesting and informative links.

I can understand that some might want or even need one but I shall do without.

I recall that the nurse at CMC stuck one on my finger a few months ago - now I know what that was all about!

Helpful advice in the Which guide. They should be CE marked.

It measures oxygen not BP. See article:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55733527

What is it please?

I have a fitbit which measures (inter alia) my BP.  Got it for £12 from eBay so it may not be entirely precise.  But hey, if it's measuring something I reckon I'm still alive.

Anyone have one?  What brand?  There are so many to choose from on Amazon!
