Dear Rarrin: Your question is a great one! There are so many people who buy home versions of many medical devices and it is always important to pick the equipment that offers the closest professional capabilities for home use. Omron is a great brand and rates high on many consumers' reviews. See site below:

You did not indicate what model but for the most part the wrist versions are not as reliable as the old fashion arm inflating cuff. I purchased recently one for my husband from LifeSource http://www.healthchecksystems.com/lifesource_digital_blood_pressure_monitors.htm to monitor his blood presure using his arm vice his wrist.
I think you made a good choice for routine checks at home.
