iphone blood pressure monitor recommendations?

I'm looking for a blood pressure monitor that connects to my iphone - can anyone recommend any?
I've heard of the Withings one but I also found a new one called QardioArm and they're doing 15% off. Has anyone tried either of them?

There are loads if you search google, look out for the disclaimers that they are for entertainment purposes only, and looks like they want to rid you of £70 to do so.
I'll stick to my dedicated machine for entertainment purposes and to the medics for real essential readings.

thanks! I had a look at both withings and qardioarm and didn't see any disclaimers - actually I think they're both "medical grade" (whatever that means?)
if you don't mind me asking, what machine do you use? I want something that would push all my readings to my phone.

I'm looking out for an upper arm monitor and was recommended Omron, by a practice nurse. They are about £17, on Amazon, for M2, a basic model.


The models which connect to phones or computers are much more expensive.
