Why it's best:
At around $300, it's not just a step-on, step-off bathroom scale. It's one of the first ANT+ wireless devices, which sends sensor results on the 2.4 GHz band to monitors like the Garmin FR60 fitness watch, or any personal computer with a matched receiving dongle.
The BC-1000 will accurately measure your weight, percentage of body fat, muscle mass, bone mass, visceral fat, daily caloric intake, and more. It will also calculate your metabolic age and overall "physique rating." It transmits this information wirelessly so you can read and store it on your computer or fitness watch.

If you are a fitness professional, or just an extreme exercise enthusiast who wants the best technology and appreciates wireless capabilities, the Tanita BC-1000 Body Composition Monitor is for you.
