Title: Accurate Scale but BLASPHEMOUS Body Fat Calculator
Review: The Omron HBF-500 is not worth your money. Get a good scale and a separate Omron HANDHELD body weight calculator. I admit, the body weight scale is extremely accurate but the body fat percentage calculator is not. That is why I gave it two stars instead of one star.So far, based on a seven-fold calipher test, the HANDHELD Omron device is really on target (plus or minus a tenth of a percentage). The integrated Tanya body weight and body fat scale reports a 4 percent deviation from the two aforementioned methods. The Omron HBF-500 reports an almost 6 percent deviation from the first two aforementioned method.I have had professional testing for my resting metabolism. For my body, the Omron HBF-500 under reported my resting metabolism by 600 calories.Overall, the only thing that is worth wild about this scale is the body weight scale. Nothing else. The extra gagets are not worth the money when the reports are inaccurate.
