Satisfied Omron Customer. Surprised actually. - Reviewed on 2009-05-29

OK so I was laughing when I bought this and really didn't think it would work. BUT to my surprise, it's fairly accurate!

I went to the gym and had them do their analysis and the results were almost identical!!!

The Omron was 1% off from what the Trainer at the gym told me.

I use this everyday now and chart it to watch my BMI and Body Fat %

I've had this thing now for more than a year and it works great.

I only wish I was loosing more BF% but that's my bad! LOL

Anyway, if you are looking to watch your BMI and Body Fat % and measure it daily or even weekly, this little Analyzer is great for keeping track.

Better than nothing - Reviewed on 2009-04-28
* * *

I've used the Omron for a few years now for myself and many others who train at my gym. I must say that after some time of using this device on at least a weekly basis I've grown frustrated with it.

It has some pluses:
+ easy to use
+ catalogs multiple users
+ fun for folks
+ fast results
+ BMI included in results
+ long battery life

However, it has some drawbacks as well:
+ somewhat inaccurate
+ very easy to fool (flexing and hydration both heavily skew the results)
+ somewhat inconsistent
+ age restrictions (not to be used on the very young or those with pacemakers)
+ gives no guidelines for the decision of "athlete/normal"
+ does not function well/at all on those with very low bf%

All in all it's a decent scale, and definitely better than nothing. However, I have ordered a spring caliper to use in conjunction with this device and plan on averaging the readings. Till we can get a home water-displacement unit, that'll have to do :D

The service was excellent. It arrives very quickly and in good condition. Also, the price was fair based on the market value for this item.
Ok not great - Reviewed on 2009-01-28

-For ease of use it gets 5 stars
Easy to set up and use in a matter of 2-3 min
-For accuracy it gets 1 star
I got readings from too low to calculate to 9% (the later being closer to reality) but most falling between 4 and 7. If you are only tracking change it should be ok if you are consistent with time and stay well hydrated.

-Overall 3 stars
Its easy but i wouldn't trust it for more than basic monitoring of changes in %.
