Negative Positive
Title: Off by 6% consistently
Review: Having owned and routinely used 3 different scale and body fat analyzers as well as having the gold standard submersion test and the new volumetric air analysis method, I can verify that the Omron HBF-306C is off by at least 6% consistently. Tanita and Healthometer scales / body fat monitors would show my body fat betwee 8.4% and 11.5% generally depending on my hydration level. The submersion and volumetric air tests both showed between 8.5% and 9.2% over several readings. Hats off to Tanita and Healthometer!Omron's handy HBF-306C always reads 16%+!!After working out consistently for 25 years, eating the Body for Life way and wearing he same waste size I did in highschool ... I know the Omron is not accurate. Handy - yes. Accurate - not even close.Buyer beware and be able to subtract 6%!
