It's all in the wrist action.

Advantages: Less time at the Doctors, handy, easy to operate.
Disadvantages: None

...rock, is a wrist fitting Braun Blood Pressure Monitor with Sensor Control, the model number is BP 2510 UG. I bought it from Amazon.co.uk, for £30, about nine months ago as I had some vouchers at the time. I've always been a bit dubious of these types of gadgets and I did often wonder if they would be consistently reliable or not, what if it kept giving me the wrong readings that alone would probably put up my blood pressure. I thought really long ...

Review of Braun BP2510

Value for Money

A great thermometer for peace of mind.

Advantages: Very easy to get an accurate temperature.
Disadvantages: Large and bulky

...not accurate. However, with the Braun 4520 which is an ear thermometer and not underarm thermometer, I can get a very accurate temperature within seconds. Although it is not the smallest or lightest of things, it is worth having because of its ease of use. A further advantage is the fact that the thermometer comes with replaceable covers so that it can be used for anyone. These are quite expensive, but I do not follow the advice of changing it for ...
...Overall I really do think that this is a good purchase for anyone who has children or has a need for checking temperatures often. Although I paid £38 for this in boots as I needed it there and then, the price has gone down and I believe that it is under £30 on amazon.co.uk and other sites. ...

not quite so hot these days

Advantages: does what its supposed to safely, accurately and quickly
Disadvantages: replaced by more stylish models with increased functionality

...one of the older model Braun thermoscan thermometers and was titled the EZ. Compared to the more sleekly designed updates it appear bulky and not as good to grip but it does have much the same functionality and was the first totally portable one I used. The previous ones used by my PCT being attached to the portable sphygmomanometer (blood pressure monitor) As are all of them now, it is easy to use, accurate and fast, giving the temperature in a ...
...degrees C(Celsius) or degrees F(Fahrenheit). The ear probe is safe to use from newborn babies upwards and it is impossible to get a lens stuck in the ear. It is simple to use and easy to position, even in struggling children (and dogs; another story entirely), having a detect feature that helps ensures correct placement, beeping at you if it is misplaced. The temperature is read from a large, easy to see LCD screen which takes around a second from ...

Review of Omron R7

the garmin forerunner 50 is a must have for runners!

Advantages: good info display, easy to read when running
Disadvantages: watch is a little chunky, beware of dead battery on arrival!

i purchased the garmin forerunner 50 after a couple of weeks of pondering and reading reviews about it. the reviews were at times mixed but i guess you will get that with everything. anyway here are my thoughts on it: i run on average 4 miles a trip 3 times a week. so i wanted something that would keep me up to date on how i was getting on- the garmin forerunner 50 does this brilliantly. its a simple little set up- there is a usb pen, a footpod ...
...watch, in my opinion, is a little chunky to wear as an everyday watch but is fine for running. i have had no problems, the info is always transferred from watch to pc without a hitch. my only gripe was that garmin sent the footpod with a dead battery! ...
