Measuring trends is more important than the accuracy of each data point. Very well said

[jbarah]

So I went into a deep dive (I’m biomedical engineer/physician) I was looking at the variance of the measurements so it turns out it the scales will be off by 10+/- %. With the body scales with their companion app they tend to adjust with time and the variance drops to 5% but it’s pretty much the same algorithm across-the-board for all BIA scales and devices. The tuning comes with the the apps but you have apps like macroFactor that can take in the data and make the adjustments. DEXA even thou it’s not as “precise” it’s variance, is less then 5%. So essentially, if you were to take multiple DEXA scans a week average out the months you’d be within 3% variance. Therefore making the body fat % more accurate. Your other video with the auro strap actually shows a good job of showing the margin of error advertently. So I’d say understanding that BIA algorithms are all the same industry standard id tell you guys buy the cheapest scale you can afford. As for being obese and a fat percentage, above 28 the variance is like 15 up to 25% off. So for those patients I’d suggested going off of weight lost and waiting till at least they get under a BMI of 25 before using a % of fat as any level of measurement of progress.

After checking out so many scale reviews that were not helpful I have to say this one was golden. I really appreciate the straight forward and realistic take on these scales.

Watching this video just confirmed I was thinking about this entirely correctly. Thanks for this! Will be linking to it whenever people are curious.

[elleo]

Thank you for explain HOW these scales work! I used to always wonder how in the world body fat is measure from these gadgets. Great informative video!!

[hectordehesa]

[nyoob]

i hope way more people who look up these scales find this video

[MN-yzbp]

Wow excellent helpful video! Totally subscribing

[rabin_john]

Nice video. I think you should test the Huwaei Scale 3 Pro. I have read somewhere that they tested it to have an overall accuracy coorelation score of 0.94 against a DEXA scan, which if true is pretty good.

And here I was searching for the most accurate fat measure. You are right! They are not accurate. What we need is a consistent reading to find the TREND

[JessClarkArt]

My scale is being delivered today. Actually was debating on getting that cheaper model scale, but kinda felt like it was a gamble after reading the negative reviews. I opted for the GE one, which is not well reviewed, but GE has put their name on it so fingers crossed! It was still under $50... So glad I didn't hold off to get a more expensive one when there doesn't seem to be any perks to it! Thanks for the info

I still have an Ironman Bodyscale from 25 years ago. The main function of working as a weight scale remains Impeccable and accurate. I can always rely on seeing perfect difference even after going to the bathroom or soaking in a hot bath.

The normal vs athletic modes for bodyfat confuse me, but I take the average of the 2 and it varies a lot depending on hydration etc.

You can use it to check trending lowest bf if you are dieting but I'd point people towards the Navy method and calipers for more reliable bodyfat changes.

[rfrancoi]

Great review Sir. Very will presented.

[Charrua]

Thank you, save me lots of $$$. Happy with my new scale 🙏🏽

[mzhou]

renpho is really good it has been working for me for the last 3 years, I compared it with Gym scales, weight is pretty accurate, surprisingly the body fat also very close, eg 22.1 from gym and 19.9 from Renpho! Wow I am still impressed after 3 years, drawback is it connects to limited apps...

[antvre]

when you said autopsy you caught me off guard, made me laugh

[johngorentz]

For comparison purposes I'd want to know how much an autopsy costs.
