OMRON Body Composition Monitor and Scale - Track Muscle Mass Loss/Gain, Weight, Visceral Fat, BMI - Use OMRON Connect App for Unlimited Storage

Got this scale to try and have better accounting of my wellness journey. I had a different brand that, although worked fine if it was just me, it wouldn't work for my husband, which caused him frustration with trying to complete the same goal. That brand would use Health Connect to have their app talk to Samsung Health, and it would send the information over........ eventually, which neither of us liked. We needed something that would send the information as if it was being done directly through the Samsung Health app.I actually stumbled upon this scale when I was looking at one of Omron's wireless BP monitors, I decided to download the app first and see how they share the information, boom, direct link, I was excited at that point. Went ahead and purchased the scale, got it all set up and Bluetooth connected, stepped on the scale when turned off, beeped at me when it was done, gave me the go ahead to press the SET button, boom, information transmitted to the Omron app that immediately sent to the Samsung Health app, I'm so freaking happy 😁 Got hubby get set up as well, he's happy with it so far ❤️This scale can also link to Google Fit, which is kinda funny since we both have Google phones but we both have Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Samsung Smart Ring, so we just go ahead and use the Samsung Health app instead. This is going to be super helpful in order to record and track our weight and stuff as we work on trying to better our health, Omron has been around for quite a while and I knew they have good BP monitors so I'm certain this scale is gonna be great 👍🏻

I got this bathroom scale in order to have it sync my weight, fat and muscle measurements with the OMRON connect app which I use for my blood pressure using another OMRON device. The synching of the device with my iPad and iPhone works reasonably well but at times it requires a manual syncing procedure either with the bathroom scale or the blood pressure cuff. Overall good value.

I love this weight scale it provides more than just weight! It also reports on BMI & Metabolism and has other options as well. Best of all I bought using my HSA card. Worth ever dollar! 💵

The Omron app does not work on this device for Singapore consumers.

This scale exceeds my expectations.The info it shares with you your app helps me understand what’s happening to my body.

Since the scales I received wasn't working right and was very erratic. I can't really evaluate performance. However, one thing I did notice was that it doesn't measure water % like most other body comp scales. After you get on the scales, it eventually cycles through the different measures but they are a bit hard to read and aren't lit up much, so I found that very unsatisfactory.Another negative is the Omron app, which doesn't seem very complete compared to other apps and it was a real pain to set it up. I was surprised at the poor app performance because I also have an Omron blood pressure monitor and it works great on the same app. It's almost like the scales part of the app was an afterthought, definitely incomplete in what it shows (not all the measures from the scales) and overall the app part is just not well designed...it almost seems unfinished.I returned the scales and bought a very similar scales for about half the price from another well known manufacturer and it works beautifully plus after weighing all the measurements stay on the screen so you can see them all at once. Also the other app seems quite good and sets up almost instantly, unlike the Omron app. So while the scales I received were erratic and not working right, even if everything was working I'm not sure I would recommend it.

The auto sync with the app requires that you wait until the measurement display on the scale finishes, which takes more than 3 minutes to complete. The alternative is to bend down and turn the scale off manually, then touch the bluetooth button on the scale to manually transfer.I learned about the delay from the customer service rep who said: "you have to wait until it's finished CALCULATING...", which I explained made no sense for two reasons: 1) the supposed "calculations" are already being displayed over and over while you wait and 2) if you turn it off, you can force it to sync within 10 seconds. This is obviously a programmer's choice to wait until the display finishes before allowing the sync to occur, which is an arbitrary choice, a different choice than what the BP7000 makes, as it quickly syncs right after the measurement is taken. Note to the programmers: if you have a non-multitasking firmware core, then you should allow for a user setting that changes the amount of time to display all of the results on the scale, and it should default to 20 seconds not 3 minutes. Nobody wants to read all 8 numbers from the scale anyway.

Having had a recent health crisis which made it clear that I needed better methods of monitoring my health, I began searching for a superior product, while keeping in mind features vs cost. My cardiologist recommended the Omron line of scales, and while I'd already purchased a lesser scale (Health-o-Meter), I was impressed by the features offered by the BCM-500 from Omron. While it provides percentages of your visceral and body fat, and skeletal muscle, it also provides your BMI and resting metabolism numbers, all of which can be monitored over time on the Omron app (via Bluetooth sync) on your smartphone. While this may sound like a rehash of their own ads, it is actually quite helpful when used to monitor progress over time.It is particularly interesting to watch the fat and muscle numbers change as your body changes, and gives reinforcement that your habits are working.I'm in weight loss mode, and I know this works for me now. But I'm quite looking forward to see how it helps me once I am done losing weight, and transition to maintaining it, while building muscle and leaning out. I'm sure it's the perfect scale for me!

Received this product from Amazon USA and after putting in the batteries, I tried to turn ON it's Bluetooth to connect it with Omron application in my iPhone 12 but after 40 minutes of struggle I couldn't connect with my phone.My objective of buying this product was to connect the weighing scale with my mobile which is a huge disappointment.

Although you can buy these Scales, the actual App that provides all the benefits, will not download in Australia and the local Omron Aussie App doesn.t support these Scales. Go Figure. Omron Head Office does not want to know of the problem and provides zero help. They offer no support to the local Omron representatives who sell zero Body Composition Scales in Australia.

Great looking easy to use. Only issue is the app is not supported in Australia. No athlete mode.
