I simply don’t trust my current scales (Salter). They were cheap at the supermarket last year, and while they claim to measure body fat, I don’t think the numbers make sense. The last 4 days, my weight has remained constant at 77.2Kg, and the body fat and water content numbers have varied between 18…

There is a company called BodyScan - https://www.bodyscanuk.com - I have used them a few times but pretty expensive compared to the US.

I did a few tests between normal and athlete mode on my Nokia scales. When I went to athlete it added about 10% muscle and dropped from 12.5% body fat (which feels accurate) down to 5.5% (I wish!). I think it’s probably for more power athletes than endurance?

I’ve also used body scan in London and found them excellent, albeit expensive compared to the USA. I live in Scotland and there’s nowhere up here that will do a dexa without a doctors referral so I just dropped in to body scan whilst I was passing through London

[image] thatmdee: I have mine syncing through to Garmin… Renpho -> Fitbit -> My Fitness Pal -> Garmin… A little convoluted, but seems to work consistently. @thatmdee I’m trying to test this before pulling the trigger (as I really can’t justify the nokia!). Do you know if it’s a once a day sy…

I’m using the Garmin smart scale, and its generally fine with one gripe that use on carpet is pointless, even using the feet attachments, I’ve seen weight variations of 2kg on carpet just by getting on and off again. It needs a hard floor to be accurate IMO (although this is generally true for all …

Yeah, I think if I can confirm the fitbit to myfitnesspal to connect working, I think one of the other options will be my approach. Tracking only makes sense if I’m going to do something about body composition - and I’m not convinced enough that I am to spend the money on the nokia or garmin options…

Yep… i think it’s just a once daily sync. I weighed in at 5:45 am, it’s now 8:30am and it hasn’t come across. Looking through the historical data in Garmin Connect, it’s been working flawlessly and all coming across, minus the days I forget to weigh in

Yes, all synced across pretty quickly this morning from a manual input in the Renpho app. I wasn’t timing, but it was in Connect within half an hour. Pulled the trigger on the Renpho scales on Amazon this morning - pretty much half the price of the Nokia (which is on offer at stg£70 on Amazon). Jus…

The Renpho scales arrived on Friday. Working well so far in terms of the sync - bluetooth to the renpho app to Fitbit to myfitnesspal to connect. Weight seems to be in line with my previous scales, for what that’s worth, so looking forward to the trends on the other stuff.

I’ve been using the 1byone scales I bought from amazon for over a year now, I believe they have are accurate and they are consistent. Nice phone app and bluetooth sync etc.
