Hand held fat measuring device - a quick and accurate way to assess your body composition

Model: BF306
Manufacturer:
Omron

Measurement parameters:

  • Percentage (%) body fat composition
  • BMI value
  • body weight classification (e.g. normal, overweight, etc).
Measurement time: 10-12 seconds

Accuracy: 5 %. The accuracy is pretty good and it compares well to professional health care institute equipment results. A friend of mine measured her body fat content in clinics using a high class equipment, her body fat was 40.3 %. This hand held measuring device indicated 41%, which compared very well with the clinics value. So, I would say that its body fat content value can be relied upon with confidence.

Approximate cost (Amazon price, May 2011): 28.1 pounds (inc. VAT)
