Product Reviews of Omron HBF-306C Fat Loss Monitor, Black
Product Review: Accurate Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used this one about 20 people and it is really accurate. I looked at one person and thought they were about 15% body fat, the machine read 15.3%. Terrific and easy to use product.Product Review: All Good
Summary: 5 Stars
Seems like it works great. Wish it was giving me better news, though.Product Review: An inexpensive, easy to use, fat measuring device
Summary: 5 Stars
For years I have used height and weight to measure BMI. This device is easy to use, inexpensive, and provides a better estimate of body fat than height / weight based estimates in my opinion.
It is easy to use, provides a quick result, and can help to determine if your exercise and diet are improving your muscles or if you are gaining fat. If you are trying to lose weight by a combination of exercise and diet, this can be an invaluable tool.
Product Review: As expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Everything came as I expected it to be, it's a gift so I'm not sure how this specific one works; however, we use this exact same product at work and have no problems.Product Review: Athletes please read this, The Truth about Electronic Fat Loss Monitors
Summary: 1 Stars
Lets get our facts straight, these monitors gained popularity for three reasons
1) So many Gym owners and training instructors have absolutely no idea or don't really wanna bother using the " skin-fold caliper".
2) People don't want to embarrass them selves by having someone else measure there body fat % so they buy this product and keep it home.
3) A lot of people actually believe that this product actually works and gives accurate results, just because you see it everywhere doesn't mean it works.
The way this product measures body fat percentage is by generating microelectric current which would travel through your body and it would give you the actual status of your body fat.
This method is flawed as many factors can affect your results, in fact try using this product several times in a row and you will see serious variations in your test results.
My body fat is usually around 7% a year, in other words, I see my abbs all year long, I play with this in the gym from time to time just to prove instructors wrong and guess what my reading shows? well 18% then 25% then 33%, etc etc the results are laughable.
Final note if you want an accurate measurement of your body fat, buy a "skin fold caliper", please do not waste your time and money on this product.
