I have been using a cuff for several years. I find that mine is very close to upper arm machine ( I have both and compare them fro time to time). The thing about the cuff is that. You have to get it on exactly right or it will give a false readings(usually too low). I use
Mine on both arms witjh at least 4 minutes between readings,

@exboater @mdm123. Yes, it's a good idea to take your bp twice. May be it's tmi but a full bladder gives a higher reading. Don't check your bp right after exercise, sit quietly for 4-5 minutes first, once a nurse told me to uncross my legs. I sometimes take my bp on both arms but not routinely, maybe I should start.
