I Tested this Apple Watch Body Fat Scale (vs DEXA Scan)

AURA Strap 2 is the only way to measure your body fat, body composition, muscle mass & more on the Apple Watch. Is the AURA Strap worth it? I put it to the test against a DEXA Scan to see how accurate the body fat measurements actually are.

I did a DEXA Scan in March at 225 pounds around 28% fat. In November I showed up at 197 pounds. It said I lost 18 pounds of lean mass and 10 pounds of fat and overall my bodyfat percentage only went down 1%. Shows I need to lift weights, and not just cut calories, and get in enough protein.

Fire video my guy, that's for having me in the vid 💪🏻 It was a freaking blast

[guyglennon]

Accuracy is expensive. But I was surprised to see how well the Apple Watch accessory performed. Seemed to have a margin of error consistent among the three applicants in the trial, and I’d be comfortable using it tract to changes.

The variations between different scales is interesting. I gotta assume the DEXA is the most accurate. Also the point Tejas brought up in the video where as long as the scale is consistently showing a certain body fat and that goes down when you lose weight that is what matters most. I gotta find somewhere around me to try a DEXA scan.

I think the word Tejas was looking for is "precision". It's important to know the difference between precision and accuracy, which, to be fair you all probably do if you're into fitness trackers and data, but some people do use them synonymously. Another great video Shervin.

So by the results - the Aura is actually good. It is always like 3-6% less than Dexa. That is good. And appears always to be less. So get Aura strap and then just mentally add a few percent. Aura claim 95% accuracy vs DEXA and these numbers seem close.

FINALLY! You're popping off and the videos are incredible, and the performance is amazing. So happy for you man - you EARNED THIS.

Bro you having only 25K subscribers physically pains me.

Renpho seems to be more accurate on athletic people, but I think it is worth it if you just want to see a trend. Like, I don't have access to dexa scan, but working on building muscle, so all I want to see if my muscle mass is increasing and whether my fat percentage is decreasing. I don't care about it being super accurate, I just want to see where I am going, so renpho will be enough for my purposes. Thanks for this little experiment. Merci Shervin Jan.😊

How does a skin fold measurement compare. That would be interesting.

[braddavister]

I tried the Aura strap 2 as well. I put it on and it said I achieved my goal and I put it right back in the box and sent it back. Compared to all the scales I’ve been on which are all close, the strap was way off.

[ScrollsForTheWise]

This was a great snap test. I was hoping you would add in the trusty ol’ calipers! Any reason you skipped it?

[soumickghosh]

You should've tried Greg's Laser eye test too

[Okg]

Lol you could literally walk into that DEXA scanner 5 mins later and it would show anywhere between 1 to 4% of difference. Dexa is a good reference, but accuracy is highly overstated and expensively so. Callipers are your best friends to have a good enough reference if you know how to use it properly.

Just discovered your channel, liked, and subscribed! Thanks for the video

[BradShoemakers]

Great test - like to see if the numbers are all off by the same %.

If aura and DeXA both dropped by 2% then aura is usable but if it went up and DeXA down then a waste

[alwinvisker]

Did you changed the body stats of for the other guys in the phone app?

[youqingzhou]

Don't know why but it is so hilarious watching you guys do this

[kraudostudio]

Top video quality and content, you have a new sub!🎉

[louiekline]

Loved the vid however wanted to say the Renpho scale is fairly accurate. However you have to put in your body measurments, you can’t just step on and hope it works
