Handheld Fat Loss Monitor HBF-306C
Strengths: Easy to use; Affordable; Reputable manufacturer; Compact and light weight
Weaknesses: Readings useful as a directional tool only
Summary: The Omron Handheld Fat Loss Monitor is an affordable, compact device that quickly measures one's body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI). The unit uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Method to estimate body fat percentage based on personal data including height, weight, gender and age. Before owning this monitor, I use a Tanita weighing scale with a body fat analyzer to track my body fat percentage. I know that body fat percentage fluctuates throughout the day, so I try to measure it at around the same time everyday (after waking up in the morning, for example). I can never get the Tanita and Omron to read the same. My Tanita always reads lower than the Omron. Not really knowing which reading is more accurate, I use readings as directional info to track if my body fat is trending lower or higher day-to-day.
