Customer Reviews of Omron Body Fat Monitor and Scale
Customer Review: Accurate scale....terrible body fat measurement!
Summary: 2 Stars
DO NOT buy this scale if you are trying to accurately measure your body fat percentage! I don't know how this scale has managed to recieve such good reviews, it's is horribly inaccurate at measuring anything other than weight. I am a 24 year old ex-college athlete and I exercise/lift weights 7 days a week, yet somehow, according to this scale, I have 27% body fat. I calculated using other methods (tape and calipers) and both reported 9-11%. I only give the scale two stars because it does accurately measure weight. Save your money, buy a less expensive scale and some calipers for a more accurate method of measuring body fat.Customer Review: Used it for seven months. Very consistent
Summary: 4 Stars
Seems like the bad reviews resulted from higher fat and lower muscle readings than what was expected. I can't compare accuracy to other equipment. I can say that if you use it as a reference you will be very satisfied.
For the seven months that I've used it, the results have been consistent. It's been a great tool for losing fat weight and keeping muscle.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the memory. It may store 90 readings, but you can only view readings from three, seven, 30, and 90 days ago. So instead of using the stored memory, I enter readings into a spreadsheet.
Customer Review: works fine except for the Body fat feature.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had this scale for a little over a week now and the only problem i have with it is that body fat measurement is way off. I set the user correctly to my age 26 and gender(male). I am 6'3" and weigh 190lbs, I work out 4 times a week and have a very athletic build. I got on the scale and it read 190lbs then the next reading was body fat%. it said i was carrying around 24% body fat which i know now is about 10% too high since i went to my gym and got it professionally read by a trainer with the gyms equiptment. so if you are looking for a scale that only reads the weight correctly this is the scale for you.Customer Review: Scale reading is very confusing
Summary: 2 Stars
Other than getting a scale due to the listed recommendations, I am now kind of intimidated by the recent reading when a scale shows more than one person actual weight. The scale gets a little unnerving, so I am probably going to either send it back or donate it to someone else whose weight is a little more revealing. I think digital scales are pretty much inaccurate as the smaller sized scales shown by Amazon.com. I wondered if the scales were purposely manipulated that no matter how much you seem to lose weight, that the scale itself shows quite the opposite. I recommend that you do not buy this product.Customer Review: If you're athletic or fit---won't work for you!
Summary: 2 Stars
Consistently inaccurate with body fat measurements. The device is sensitive to electrical currents so I made sure not to be around the microwave, etc. But even doing that, I'd still get wacky numbers. Taken a few seconds apart from different locations in my room, I'd get body fat measurements 3-4 percentages off from each other.
I'm a very fit and healthy individual. I bought this to keep an eye on my stats. I know how to weigh myself (not after meals, showers, etc.). I also understand that calipers are more accurate, but this scale shouldn't be SO far off--especially for $60+. Booo.
