Review on ๐Ÿ“Š Greater Goods Digital Body Composition Black Scale: Accurate Weight, BMI, Body Fat, Muscle Mass & Water Weight Calculations with St. Louis Design, In-House Android & iPhone App (Black) by Jon Ashra

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Body measurements based on sensors are inaccurate.

Setup - very simple, super intuitive, generally enjoyable; 5-star aesthetics - just about average; 3-star impedance-based metrics - unacceptably inaccurate, about 15% discount, mine seems to be in favor of the user; 0 star As a bathroom scale it's ok, it weighs +/- 1lb compared to the other two scales I use regularly; a "stupid" $30 weight meter that shows body fat/BMI/weight plus scales + a manual impedance meter at the gym. My personal health goals are body oriented so when I got on the scale and it continued to produce 16.8% body fat I knew I would get back to it; The above WW scale is 19.8%, the gym portable is 19.6%, and the 7-point caliper is 19.6%, although the difference is only about 3%, but actually about 15% from reality deviates. (16.8/19.6) which to me means it cannot be trusted for one of my key metrics, casting doubt on its accuracy in all other categories.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
