Omron BCM-500 review

Omron is best known for blood pressure monitors, and the BCM-500 brings its approach to body composition. It measures six metrics: weight, body fat percentage, visceral fat on up to 30 levels, skeletal muscle percentage, resting metabolism in kcal and BMI. Omron says the readings are clinically validated and uses foot-to-foot bioelectric impedance. The scale stores 120 readings, 30 each for four profiles, recognizes which profile is stepping on, and offers a guest mode that does not record. Over Bluetooth it syncs to the OMRON connect app, which keeps unlimited history and also holds readings from Omron blood pressure monitors, so people already using one get weight and pressure in one place. The limits are clear: six metrics is fewer than $25 to $50 rivals, the scale is rated for adults up to 330 lb and 6.5 feet tall, and the warranty is 1 year. The $97.99 MSRP is high for the feature set unless the Omron app is the draw.
