How many of you own these fancy scales that measure your body composition, and how accurate/useful is it?
They claim to measure % body fat, water weight, muscle mass, and bone mass. If that's true, isn't that pretty much a necessity to own one if you're trying to measure progress accurately?
They average around 40 bucks so I'm looking to buy one.
They don't work. I have one and I do like it but all I use it for is to record my daily weight on to an app.

Is it that it gives inconsistent readings or have you measured those things in a doctor's office and found that the scale's estimates were way off?

The scale is just doing some pre-programmed metrics. It can give an "estimate" but the accuracy can't really be proven. The only smart scales that might be worth it are ones that keep track of your average weight if you are to lazy to write it down yourself

I have that same one but yeah they're not that accurate. If anything it'll just tell you the BF of your legs.

Alright, thanks. I'll probably skip these scales then and just pick up a normal weight scale that has that blu tooth data tracking shit

Just get your typical digital scale and keep a log going. Blutooth is a real gimmick unless you are super anal about weight.

>keep a log going. Blutooth is a real gimmick
Isn't that the same thing? I thought the blu tooth feature means it'll upload the data to my tablet whenever I step on the scale, and then that software will keep track of everything
I've had mine for a year. Ya, I'm anal about weighing myself every morning. I also track my food, so the daily weigh in helps me understand which foods work for me.
