Useless, just a simple scale
The scale asks for activity level when you set it up, so how often you exercise. This makes sense because it's important for basal caloric metabolism. At least I thought so. But it is always the same regardless of the activity level. Further, the scale says (one after the other! 1 minute apart) I have a body fat percentage of 27% (activity level 1), and then 11% (activity level 5). But body fat percentage has nothing to do with activity level except statistically. Same for water percentage, which is between 65% and 53% depending on activity level. Muscle percentage and bone mass don't change at other activity levels, which is good. Whether the bone mass is realistic I don't know, but the muscle percentage is not.
Pro
- Weight is right
- looks quite nice
- Muscle percentage and bone mass are the same, at least when measured several times.
Contra
- calorie basal metabolic rate is wrong, always the same at all activity levels
- Body fat is NOT measured, but guessed according to activity level.
- Body water is NOT measured, but guessed according to activity level.
- Muscle percentage may be measured, but it is wrong by a lot of %.
- Requires two button batteries
If you weigh in the exact same place every day, you might get the same weight
Pro
- Sleek design
Contra
- The weight you get fluctuates if you move the scale or if you shift your weight forward or backwards
Beautiful
Pro
- Elegant, excellent design
Incorrect weight specification
If I stand 1 cm further back, the scales make me almost 5 kg heavier. If I stand 1 cm further forward, it makes me almost 5 kg lighter. It's okay for scales to vary a little in weight. But this is beyond the scope. Not usable. What a pity.
Contra
- Does not work properly
Works perfectly
Pro
- Large display
Contra
- (jokingly) shows the actual weight
Complicated operation
Got a Friday evening model. Did not always work correctly. Diagnosis. Weight measurement worked.
Credit note received without any problemsPro
- Weight measurement works.
Contra
- Measuring accuracy. 100kg +/- 0.4 kg
- Malfunctions. Instead of diagnostic data, "Err" was displayed
- Diagnostic measurement: Press Set twice, select person, system displays
- set values of the person, then 0.0. Now you can step on the scales.
- n you have to step on the scales first.
