InBody 120 vs InBody BWA 2.0
InBody 120 and InBody BWA 2.0: compare documented specifications, features and limitations. Check the reports and explanation offered by the provider. More features alone do not establish better accuracy.
InBody 120: when to consider it
InBody120 is useful for following fat and muscle while changing your diet or activity. A meaningful consultation benefits from the full computer-generated report; the small display shows only part of the results.
InBody BWA 2.0: when to consider it
The BWA 2.0 focuses on detailed body-water and composition results. Wrist and ankle clamps also allow bedside testing. Its results are especially useful where muscle changes need to be read alongside water changes.
