Review on πŸ“± Smart Body Fat Scale with Bluetooth, Digital BMI Bathroom Weight Scales and Body Composition Analyzer - Free APP. Compatible with iOS and Android. by Stacy Malcolm

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sleek, modern scale with lots of features

This scale looks great. The white color makes it look very representative and the weight is accurate compared to the other two scales I own. The scale already comes with 3 AAA batteries, so it's very easy to use right away - remove the plastic tab and stand on the scale. To download the app, go to the App Store and download the Innotech Scale App. The app will first ask for information like name, gender, height and birthday. It synced fairly quickly (a few seconds on my S10) and the app is very intuitive. The dashboard is where you see most of the information you get from the scale when you step on it. To view the information on the scale, all you have to do is stand on the scale (with your bare feet so it can read the information correctly - see comments below) until the scan is complete. The app automatically loads the new data onto the dashboard. Con: For me, the problem is the accuracy of the body fat percentage. I got about 18% with a DEXA scan (one of the most accurate methods of measuring body fat) and about 14% with a pinch test/caliper. This application shows I'm over 30% which is very inaccurate. Now I'm not sure how accurate the other dates are. as bone mass, visceral fat, protein and muscle are quite difficult to measure on such a scale. If you are suspicious of dates, this will work for you. If you want medically accurate results you should go to your PCP and have it checked out properly as I would not rely on this data as medically accurate. One thing you can take advantage of from this is the overall feeling of whether your fat is gaining or losing. Also note that with electric current (which is likely to be used) it will vary depending on how hydrated you are, the clothes you wear etc. as these all measure resistance (lean mass has a lower resistance to electricity). ).Overall excellent scale with accurate weight. The app is simple and useful for comparing your body's overall health over time (although the data itself is inaccurate). Your mileage may vary but that's enough for me as I'm not sure if other scales show more accurate results as the problem is with the method used and not the scale.
