It took me several weeks to realize but this scale is not only off on weight and body fat but it fluctuates in minutes.
We first got the scale and already knew our weight from out previous scale. This one was purchased because of it's body fat feature. From the first time we stepped on it registered both of us 2 pounds lighter than our other scale but we didn't think anything of it assuming the new scale was more accurate somehow.
After a couple weeks of using the scale everything seemed ok till I went to the doctor and their info was completely different. I then went to our local grocery store which has both a scale and body fat calc and it matched the doctors. After returning home we tried the scale and it didnt come close to matching either of the other two scales. It was at that point we realized that each time we got on the scale, off and back on it would give us a different reading. It registered me as 196.9 the first time, 15 seconds later I was magically 195.2, 30 seconds later I was 194.4... after 10 minutes of entertaining myself with magical weight loss my final weight was 189.7.
All that said, we ordered heart rate monitors from the same company and even those dont report even close to being accurate. They were regularly off by 20-30 bpm which is HUGE.Get more detail about Omron HBF-400 Body Fat Monitor and Scale.
