Review on ๐Ÿ“Š Innotech Smart Bluetooth Body Fat Scale: Analyzing Body Composition, BMI, and Health with Free APP โ€“ Compatible with Fitbit, Apple Health, and Google Fit by Marshall Dickinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality scale with useful body composition indicators

This is a really nice digital scale that interacts with an app on your smartphone to help you track your weight and multiple body composition indicators. However, I did find a few small issues that you should be aware of. The scale can track the body composition of several different people - each family member just needs to download the Innotech app and create their own profile with their gender. Age, height, personal goals, etc. The scale will remain registered with the last logged in person. So make sure you connect your profile to the scale before stepping on the scale. If you don't do this and your roommate is the last person to log in, your weight and body composition will be added to their history. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete your flatmate's data that you accidentally added to your history. That would be a useful software update. Alternatively, it would be really nice if the scale would automatically connect to the profile of any smartphone in close proximity, but that doesn't work. So if you share the scale with others, make sure you connect your profile to the scale before you get started. Mass, bone mass, water, visceral (animal) fat, protein, recommended calorie intake, etc. It can be helpful to track how your readings are changing over time, but you definitely don't want to get too attached to the accurate numbers. there is you Body mass index, for example, is a notoriously poor measure of overall fitness. Basically it is the ratio of your weight to your height. An overweight person with a lot of fat can have the same BMI as a really muscular athlete. So keep that in mind. You might want to search Google for other indices the app calculates to see what they actually tell you. Some of the measurements I got seem wrong. For example, the app tells me that the girl in the sports bra seen in the attached photo has 28.2 percent body fat, which the app puts her in the "obese" category. I suppose we can agree that she's anything but obese. I fear that such misclassifications may be tragically misconstrued by some users who use incorrect information to justify their anorexia or other unhealthy activities. Despite its peculiarities, I like this scale very much. It seems well built and easy to use. Use common sense to interpret what the app is telling you, and you'll likely find it helpful too. Let me know if you find my review helpful.
