Accurately measures weight and other indicators. . . not so much

Since I bought it to measure my weight accurately, all other indicators (fat, water, muscle mass, bone mass, BMI, etc.) are not important to me. This is good because these indicators should be treated with caution. They are largely inaccurate and useless; except maybe to show trends. When I measured my body fat using two methods (pinch and dip) it was calculated to be around 6%. This scale measures 15% (plus or minus). 15% body fat is a lot, don't you think? At 6 feet tall and 150 pounds, I'm not stocky at all. (I am a cyclist with a lifetime driver's license). When I select the "Athlete" setting, it says 4% body fat, which is actually closer to reality; but he throws all other clues far beyond belief. So I don't believe in anything other than body weight. And I don't think 4% is correct either. It has a good effect on body weight. I also have a set of vertical clinical log scales that match these electronic scales in tenths of a pound.

Pros
  • PRECISE DESIGN - Wi-Fi ensures your measurements are accurate anywhere in the world, and position control technology guides you to the correct position so every weigh-in is accurate.
Cons
  • Good but not great
