Title: Inaccurate for athletes
Review: I was under the impression I'd be getting a viable means of measuring body fat with this device. I'll be 50 years old at summer's end and have always worked out. When I got my first measurements, I was shocked. The unit indicated I had 25% body fat. Caliper measurements, as well as those calculators wherein you enter height, weight, and a few tape measurements, always indicated results ranging from 12 - 18% body fat. Vanity aside, it is obvious I work out as I have discernable muscularity, including 6-pack abs. Standing 6 feet, weighing 175, and looking like I do, I really wondered if Omron could be accurate. I contacted their support center and was informed that the unit is accurate for 2 out of 3 people and that it wasn't designed for athletes. I'm not sure I understand why that would be so, but that is what they told me. So, if you're already in decent shape, this may not be the product for you.
