Electronic blood pressure monitor

Are these things accurate or is a stethoscope the only way to go?

I was looking at this one.

Amazon.com: Panasonic EW3109W Portable Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor White/Grey: Health & Personal Care

or this one

Amazon.com: Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff: Health & Personal Care

I use one by OMRON that is just as accurate as non electronic readings. It takes like 10 seconds to take and just slips on my wrist. Love it!

Reli-On at walmart is Omron rebranded, you will save about half and get the exact same thing. Most bodybuilders will have to buy the larger cuff also or it will read you high.

Avoid wrist only monitors. A anesthesiology explained why to me, he said the closer to the heart the more accurate, some people will read the same at the wrist, but some will read way off. He gave a pretty complex and interesting explanation on it but it would take forever to explain.
