Hi Elaine

Not too sure on the wrist pressure readers but I would imagine that as long as they are positioned in the correct place on the radial pulse it should pick up the correct reading as it should work the same as the electronic blood pressure readers.

As for the reading, that is in a healthy range for your age.

The systolic for a genearally healthy adult is 100/120 & the diastolic should be 60/80, so it is low average but still in the average 'normal' range.

Hope this is of some help
