Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2 | Fitness Tech Review

This Mi Body Composition Scale 2 is another attempt to find a more budget friendly smart scale in get a accurate body fat percentage. Spoiler alert but this was not the one I was looking for. IF you have any recommendations on another scale I should test please comment down below and we will find one that works

Thanks bro. You made it pretty simple and not click bait video. Hope more people would be like you here on YouTube. Greetings from Argentina.

I was afraid. Before I did not exercise (and I was very thin) and the scale said that I had visceral fat 1. I started doing weights and now the scale says that I have increased body fat and visceral fat.

I have this scale, and yeah.. it tells me I am overweight aswell lol. Is the Garmin S2 better you think? I am thinking of switching to that one just to get everything in one app.

This one works very well for me, although I don't like it much 😅 the Mi Scale shows I am 19.6% body fat, whereas my Iast InBody scan showed 18.5%, that's very close to be honest, but maybe a firmware update made it better or simply my body composition is easier for this kind of scales as my BMI is in line with my weight. The only way to make it accurate though is to weight in first thing in the morning and using as less clothing as possible, any other readings will throw results off a bit.

The reason I don't like it is that the sensors are exposed, and they're easy to scratch when you have kids around in the house 😅mine has some minor scratches, but they're cosmetic at the moment, as readings are still accurate, but I already had one I had to replace because the sensors got damaged to the point the scale was unusable. I am planning to switch to a smart scale with ITO coating and sensors behind the glass, hopefully those will turn out to be as accurate as this little fella.

thanks, finally somebody compared the results with actual in-body results.
i figure all these scales are very gimmicky unless the have hand sensors too.

That’s so nice 👍 of you to give such a flat n honest response. That made me subscribe u. Thank u 🙏 n u saved my KWD 5/- today

[ceydachay]

I was thinking to order one today 😏 so thank you for your honest review ✌🏻

[peetrutzPNZ]

I have the exact same issues. Ever since I started working out more seriously, visceral fat shows 10, bmi 25, body fat 26.5 . Water 50.4 even though I drank about 3 liters today.
So yeah it thinks i'm overweight, it's probably not meant for gym bros

[moaydmadrid]

What about Anker Eufy smart scale P2 pro 🤔

[SixtenOne]

I don't know it it's the new app version, but it's really accurate for me, the only thing done porely is that the visceral fat value is an approximation from the body fat value - anyone know it it's actually so?
But what this review fail to see/mention is how accurate it for showing the progress for a specific person. Even if like the body fat value is off, the difference you make upp/down is totally accurate for me and the whole family and that defenetly makes it a great buy.

Can you please compare #1 Mi Body Composition Scale vs #2 eufy by Anker Smart Scale P1?

[axenz]

Hi, I just bought it, and the result, I'm overweight 😢😢😢😢

[TugaFlyers]

Try to do the same test but without the phone on your hands, do you get the same results, since its a bio-impedance scale? i really would like to know if it makes a lot of difference before i buy one. Thanks

[JM-tjqm]

Well, I´m happy you uploaded this video and the scan. Because I been losing weight and I also got 26% body fat. being almost the same height and weight. So It probably means I´m around 19.4% body fat now too. As long as the scale is consistent, I can keep on tracking my body fat as I get slimmer

[KeluMocy]

A scale of this type can only measure the part of your body that's the shortest way from one pair of electrodes to the other - this means it will only be measuring the composition of your legs and try to extrapolate the result based on your weight and height, so the results can't be very accurate.

[Combusken]

You just saved me some money, thanks!

[zirujze]

scale is ok, results compared with TANITA BC1000 with medical soft.. BUT, not the scale is the issue but the interpretatiuon of the scores, so, you can use bodyscale 2 to get the scores, but forget about its algoritms (ideal scores and so on). You gotta have your own interpretation skills/metrics

[mashaelalbanyan]

What would you recommend buying this one or the eufy or just get a basic cheap scale?

[bigpoe]

Is it possible to use te scale without the app? I mean, stand on the scale and see my weight and continue with my life or do I need to open the app while I am using the scale so the scale can work and show me the weight meassurement?

[ardet]

I dont care about bodyfat or BMR or bone density, I only care does it show accurate body weight if you measure more times in a row or if you move it from one spot to another? Does it aknwolegde more weight if you drink water and you meassure yourself again? I have scales that show me different weight if I meassure myself more than once in a row. It varies like 200, 300g.
