It's been a long, long time since I used any machines, but I would think having something read what you're body is doing at that moment would be more accurate than something that is estimating. Mine is just a watch you put your index finger and middle finger on and it gives you a read (and it's pink!!).
I worked out with it for the first time today and really enjoyed seeing where I was during different points in my workout.
