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…

I’ve had next to no issues with my Garmin Index scale - Regularly drops to <£90 on amazon… not that this is actually cheap mind.

Switched the Renpho app to “athlete mode”, and this mornings body fat was 12.7% compared to yesterdays DEXA of 12.5%. Happy with that margin of error, and with apparently being an “Athlete” :grinning:

Awesome! Will you be doing DEXA scans regularly? Would be interesting to see how it tracks

I don’t think it’s an option. I got it done as a part of a study, but the University only seems to offer BodPod as a rock up and pay your money. As far as I’m aware, you can’t get an xray done in Ireland without a referral. The other factor is, I’d only look for regular dexa if body composition was…

I’m starting strength training, so will likely get DEXA scans done.

I did my first S&C session for weeks last night, but to be honest it’s more to deal with imbalances/ niggles than body comp. Although that may change in the future. The approach I’ll probably take then is to verify the scales v bodypod (which I think it’s covered in the DEXA mega thread). Really th…

I’ve used a Tanita, the Garmin one, and now the Nokia/Withings mainly because it’s trusted here. Just wanted to remind of Smartscalesync that can save a lot of service-to-service syncing frustrations across most of the popular platforms.

I’ve had a withings for a lot of years. It measured within 1% of a body scan for fat percentage and i find it to be very consistent. Sometimes varies up to 3% but that could be related to hydration???

I have a Withings. I’m mainly interested in tracking trends, so it doesn’t much matter, but do we know whether Withings readings are generally closer to calipers or DEXA?

I’m using a withings and I agree with a few of the above statements. It’s more about consistent recording for me. It syncs every time. I’m never happy with what I read. But at least it’s consistent!
