Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor

I guess, for this kind of products, it is reasonable to expect not too much accuracy. Cause if you think about the type of measurement this device uses, you will notice that variations in your body within the day will make this thing fluctuate, though I don't know, by how much.

I bought this just to have an easy to use reference device. The results, well, if I take a few readings, I can guess, what is the most accurate this device reads (within 1% of its own accuracy). However, still, what I get is 6-7% lower than what another supposedly more accurate device gives. But, on the basis, they use similar electric-current based measurements (this from the hands, the other from the shoulder). And, knowing my body, I expect something in between.

In short, if you are a person trying to lose fat, and your goal is to reduce your body fat percentage by around 5 or more percent, this may do its job well. At least, that is the main reason I bought this device. I cannot expect it to be accurate for a 1% change, but for 5% or so, it should show me acceptable results.

After reading some negative reviews here, I would at least suggest you to give the device a chance before making the final decision on it. I will take various readings within the day using this one, and the other more accurate one, to see its actual performance, so that I can make the necessary adjustments myself to the results that the device gives me. I may update with the results I get from that one, if I have the chance later on.

Product works great and fast. I'm a personal trainer and have used it on several of my clients, seems to be quite accurate and durable. The price on Amazon is truely the best.

I compared the readings from the Omron HBF-306C with a very accurate fat measuring scale (used for measuring bariatric patients prior to surgery) at the hospital I work at and the Omron reads about 7% lower than your actual body fat measurement. So as long as you realize that it is off by A LOT, then get it and just add 7% to the measurement you get from the Omron.

As allways, everything was perfect!!! i have been a client for 2 years already, and i have no complaints.

Great, especially if you are trying to see results in a workout routine! Muscle weighs more than fat! Easy to use and fast delivery!
