[Verve]

Any suggestions on where i can get the above

 

am looking for one that measures metabolism, bone mass, body fat percentage

 

basically advanced models

 

been looking around saw tanita one on the web but have to buy online.

 

not osim because the tanita one seems to have more functions

try taka near the pots n pans section. rather near mcdonalds. sry can't remember the exact flr. seen a few medical weighing machine before.

usd 60 thats cheap does it include bmi, body fat and metabolism indicator

[Verve]

thanks will check it out, anyone with more precise options cos i just wanna get a good one and forget about it rather than go shopping

[Liuhao]

sure it does.

 

oh yes the shipping cost was around S$20 if remember correctly. i did check the local price for new 09 models with fancy colorful LCD screen (which i dont need) and bigger memory (which i dont need either). price from $250+. so i went for HBF-500.

Go to Takashimaya basement. They have a wide range of Tanita scales. I just bought one last week, basic model with body fat, muscle mass, water, etc. They have quite a few more advanced models with bone mass, but I didn't need those.

me looking for a accurate bathroom scale also. Coz I realised my old one is always showing me lighter!

[Verve]

ok looks like taka is the place.

 

how much did you get yours for and any idea what the advanced models would cost, if the price is around osim range it should be fine

[Cmwmsoh]

they are around the same price range as the osim ones. basic models around $130-170, advanced ones got $300-$400++.

[Verve]

same here, think time to upgrade.

 

new ones can even tell you muscle mass, body fat percentage, water percentage, metabolism, bmi, bone mass density and etc. i think its worth to pay a few hundred bucks to monitor your health.

[Verve]

ok thanks alot will check it out

[Typhoonz]

Anyway the Osim one good meh?

[Verve]

i am skeptical that osim can make a good scale which was why i asked for non osim brand - if you see my thread header. prefer those specialised ones

[Genie47]

Get Ikea. Cheap. Spoil? Throw.

[Typhoonz]

Maybe Oregan Scientific?

I am a happy user of Omron HBF-362. It is a little on the high side.

by just stepping on the scales, how do they test all these stuff?
