Health is Wealth: Bought myself an Omron Scale

 



I am someone who likes looking at data, I use the data generated by Garmin to help me in trying to improve my VO2Max and endurance. I also have an Omron Blood Pressure Monitor/ ECG HEM-7530T (the blood pressure monitor function is more important than the ECG but I thought, why not just get the one with the extra ECG feature as well).

At the recent 12-12 sale, Omron's full body composition weighing scale HBF-702T was on sale at $125 (I've not seen it lower than $150 before), so I decided to buy myself a present.

The HBF-702T supposedly gives you a lot of info such as Body Fat, Segmental Subcutaneous Fat and Visceral Fat. As it uses 4 electrodes instead of 2, it is slightly more accurate. It is certainly not accurate for single measurement use, but if one is disciplined enough to do a weigh-in every morning, weekly average trends are probably useful. The Omron App syncs with both devices so I have by BP and weight/fat history stored together which is handy.
