Blood Pressure Wrist

Wrist measuring Automatic Portable Blood Pressure Monitor?
I am a doctor and have traditionally worked with BP instruments that measure BP from arm and not from wrist. If anyone has worked on these new wrist based BP monitors, then please tell me if they are accurate and reliable or not. If yes, what principle do they use for measurement?
The funda for measuring it is not in-line with heart but the arm is supposed to be at the level of the heart.
SO the person who does high maths can take a jump. Pressure, mind you, varies with height 
I wanted to know if Karatkoff’s principle is applicable on wrist Sphygs or not coz i am not sure if it does obliterate radial artery completely and even if it does, ulnar artery will rush in more blood because it is un-obliterable.
They are not as accurate. The farther you get from the center of the body, the less accurate they become. The reading can actually be slightly lower than the arm. Same goes for the finger monitors. They are less accurate than the wrist which are even less accurate than the arm. We tested this out in class. Get an arm reading then 15min later get a wrist reading. Its only by about 2-3mmHg so I guess it depends how accurate you want to be.
