Does what I want.
What can I say? It's a scale.
As far as weighing things go, I’ve measured it, and it seems to be very accurate. I love the fact that I can just step on it and give an answer. Also, it’s not obvious from the picture but the scale is pretty wide. I liked that a lot too. The numbers are big and bright, so big that I can read them without having my glasses on.
As far as all the other measurements go, they’re reasonably accurate based on a caliper test. I’m not expecting perfection because I know how these things work. There’s a built in error because essentially the scale is measuring connectivity at various frequencies and then using a “table” to figure out the numbers. Since the table is based on averages it’ll never be completely accurate, but like I said, is close enough. The reality is if you’re at 30% body fat and it measures 28%, the scale is still pretty much telling you what you need to know. If you’re below around 15%, there’s an athletic mode that you can set so that the numbers will become more accurate. If you know you have a low body fat and you don’t set it properly don’t blame the electronics.
I also liked the fact that you can set it to automatically monitor different people based on their weights. Of course, if there are two people using the scale that have effectively the same weight, it’ll get confused. Other than that it’s a great scale.
