Assessment after 18 months
I have been using the scale almost daily for about 18 months now. As with most measurements in the industry and in everyday life, there are outliers, but on average over the week or the month there is a consistent trend. It must also be taken into account that - for technical reasons - wet/damp feet, hands, etc. will give a different result than dry feet, hands, etc. will give a different result than dry ones. A 100% accuracy is not to be expected (as with the Dexa Scan) and 'unnaturally' high fluctuations in the measured body fat percentage are possible - hence the calculation of the average over a period of time.
Is the high price worth it? For me, yes, because with this scale I get a relatively good measurement over legs AND arms. Whether this is decisive for the individual case, everyone has to assess for themselves...Good hardware, bad software
The product itself is good, even if it has a lot of plastic. In my opinion, the measurement results are accurate and comprehensible after a few weeks of use. A measurement is carried out relatively quickly, e.g. compared to a measurement with an InBody device.
However, the app is anything but convincing. There are many errors, especially when analysing the results in the diagrams. For example, if I select an analysis for my "right arm", it says "left arm" and vice versa. When I tap on the measuring points, the same value appears everywhere, although the values are obviously different. There are other points that are simply not consistent (including translations). At least I hope that these errors will be resolved at some point with an update.
Functionally, I miss the absolute body fat information in kilograms in the app instead of just the relative information in per cent. This means I can't see how many grams or kilograms of body fat I have lost or gained.Pro
- Accurate measurement results
- Fast measurements
Contra
- App has many bugs
- A lot of plastic for the price
Excellent product
Pro
- Easy to use
- Details
Very good
One should not expect the same as from a professional device for thousands of francs, whereby these probably also have certain measurement fluctuations.
This is the best non-professional device. It is fun to check yourself with it every day and it motivates you to work on your body values. So the purpose is fully fulfilled and the investment was worth it for me.Pro
- Very precise weight measurement
- Interesting evaluation of the measurement data
Contra
- Some measurement results not always entirely consistent
Expensive but worth it
Pro
- Readings of fat and muscle mass from arms, legs and trunk
- Great looking scales
Contra
- The app
Cool part
Pro
- Easy to use
- Good and simple app
- Many measurement factors that make good statements
Contra
- Start button for easy weighing should be operable by foot
