Help, good digital bathroom scale (not osim)

[Jc777]

moostafar also carries tanita products, if not wrong, should be MIJ (made in japan). this brand seems quite good, have wide range of weighing equipment, from precision weighing machine to kitchen scale to bathroom scale.

 

not too sure how competitive are their pricing compared with taka or others. but should be worth checking out.

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

ikea one is just weight and nothing else think the weight measurement is off by a few kilo!

 

there is a reason why its cheap.

[Verve]

thanks

 

i know there are many brands online, the thing is where can i buy it

[Verve]

hi this omron brand i see doctors use before, hmmm seems good, care to share where you bought and how much.

[Verve]

they get this reading via electric pulses, of course maybe only 90% accuracy

It is a medical grade machine that doctor use. I bot at $270.00 end last year from my friend doing medical sales.

Oregan Scientific had already pulled out of Singapore. Their products are all made in china and is expensive so not really worth it.

I have a digital one from Tanita which measures weight (1 decimal pt), water and fat content. Buay pai. Around $70 from Isetan. Buy when they have sale/promotion.

 

Have it for around 2 years. Good.

Oops... Sorry for the recommendation...

[Verve]

i think digital scales rarely got sale.

I got this in Japan 2 months ago from BicCamera:

After 20% discount using my ex-colleague's membership card, it's slightly less than 10000yen, which is around SGD 135.

I was so tempted to get the BC-621 because it has much nicer user interface but the functions and capabilities are exactly the same. However, the price was 5000 yen more doesn't justify to me.

 

Only thing is that the user interfaces are all in Japanese.

[Verve]

thats a good price.

 

for the benefit of all

 

i went down to mustafah to buy, it costs $190 but didnt buy because no display model and don t feel good to buy something and dont know what i am getting

 

then i went taka, wa cao the same model cost $307, tested it and felt convinced to buy it (but not there lah)tanita model no bc 543 - measures viseral fat, metabolism age bone mass body water levels and body mass and etc.

 

called parisilk at holland and got it at $155, without bargaining somemore,

Do they sell those that has the detachable handle bar with cable which the user can hold on while measuring the body composition? I almost bought the omron model when I was there coz their design looks better but I wanted the bone mass functionality for my wife. Anyway, these measurements are just a rough indicators, not to be taken too seriously.

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

Oh yes! This was the model I saw in Japan, and was having hard time getting this one or the Tanita one which I eventually bought. They were about the same price. Design wise, Omron wins hands down, but it didn't have bone mass calculation I wanted.

[Verve]

just quote them the model no and they will order in for you.

 

maybe can shop around for the model you want first

 

i saved a good 50% off retail price buying from them
