TL;DR: What’s a good “smart scale” for athletes, that will report accurate body fat and (ideally) lean mass data? Integration with Garmin Connect or some other ecosystem would be nice, but not required. I’m finding very little useful information on “smart scales” that will give me accurate body com…

can’t recommend scales, but I can say that I’ve looked at the integration part of it and If it’s w/ GC, Intervals.icu pulls data from it (but not all for some reason). Barring that, you also have 3rd party websites that will sync from A → B (but again, there will be hits and misses) Withings does p…

Pretty sure it was Jonathan who recently shared that his (non-sponsored) Garmin scale aligns pretty accurately with Dexa scans.

My Garmin Index varies by 1% bodyfat over very short periods of time, which makes me not trust it. Like one week I’ll be 7.2% and a few weeks later I’ll be more glycogen loaded and more hydrated and I’ll be 8%+. That’s like 1.5lbs of fat with no dietary changes in a week or two. No way. I haven’…

There’s no difference IME. Just get one that integrates with whatever platforms matter to you. They all should be consistent with themselves As I understand it, impedance measured from the feet only can’t accurately assess these things

[image] mcneese.chad: I’m curious if their new scale with the handle will make a notable difference? Interesting, wasn’t aware those were available at the consumer level yet. My uninformed guess would be that it’s better but still an estimate that isn’t provably accurate for all users. Still,…

[image] AgingCannon: Is the data BETTER from the more expensive scales, or is it only about added features? How do we find out? I just went through this research project and came to the conclusion that the accuracy of this kind of measurement is very flawed. Maybe it could tell you within 5% …

I have had the impedance resistance type of scales for at least 10+ years - I replaced my first non-smart unit because my girlfriend didn’t like how it looked. We ended up getting a Withings body smart smart scale and I have to admit it was a nice upgrade. I can’t tell you how accurate it is, but I…
