Only had this scale for a couple of days & so will update if necessary a few weeks on.. but so far, I'm glad I did a lot of research before buying & I trawled through Amazon before I found this scale.
I could have gone a lot cheaper (& vice versa), but what swung it for me was the reading screen. Being as blind as a bat (probably unfair to bats, ) I thought this was a no brainer for me.
On arrival (very quick), I was impressed by how well packaged it was. No "film" on the scale though, but hey... no biggy.
A bit heavier than I imagined, but we're not talking lump of lard here. Well, we are... but that's me... hence needing a scale!!!
The scale itself is very sleek - again, one of the reasons I bought it because I don't like buttons and bars you have to try and get your feet aligned on. No such problem here.
Set up was relatively easy. It didn't automatically pair with my tablet, but it was simple to connect in the App by just going into "My Account ➡️ Devices ➡️ Add... and my scale paired up immediately. I could have tried the QR code too, but I couldn't be arsed, knowing my tablet can be a bit mardy with QR codes. I put it on my tablet because it's easier to read than on my phone... but I've downloaded on my phone too so I've no excuse not to use it. I'm good at finding loop holes.
In the battery compartment there's a little button that allows you to switch weighing units... being a traditional kinda gal (how I wish I looked like Gal) I turned it to St/lbs. It didn't stay set at that for some reason. First time, it went back to Kg, second to lbs. I used the button again but also changed the weight units in the App & this time it stayed. Maybe I should have altered in the App first... I don't know - but then I can turn my phone on & off... what more do you want?
The screen is fantastic. So easy to read. Unfortunately... so easy to read. I am officially a small Whale. 😭😭😭😭.
However, weight wise, the scale was as accurate as the one I used at a Gym last week. Gym you ask? You must work out! I do!! When the moon is blue & there's no "day" in the week. The truth is I went with a friend & watched as she valiantly tried to burst a blood vessel as I continued watching on & thought.... tit. I didn't just think it either. Called her it too... but then she's been my Bestie for 27yrs & "rude" is our way of life.
But look - I was in a Gym & I used the equipment... their pen to sign in, the lockers & the scales! I have therefore been to a Gym & achieved.
I digress.
So yes, the scales were as accurate as the professional ones. Verdict? 🐋
On standing on the scales... you do need to stand still until all the lights stop flashing. I resisted accompanying them with a rendition of YMCA... but the flashing was over in about 7 seconds so I couldn't get my voice warmed up in time. My neighbours were appreciative. I loved that there was a "bong" from the App (I think) when it had finished weighing. Seconds out!!
Looking down, I loved the screen. Bright & clear. I didn't love what it was showing me...but I felt the rise of a challenge stir (cue Rocky music) to make that little black square tell me I'm losing weight & don't have the body of an 80yr old. I'm not 80 & quite frankly there's lots of 80yr olds out there who put me to shame.
Is the body age thing accurate? Probably. Hubby got on the scale and it gave him his correct age.
But then he could eat enough for a small family daily & not put on weight. Jammy... very much like the donut I just scoffed.
However the body age thing will never work for me because of the hobby I've enjoyed for all but 4yrs of my life. Yeah yeah... no. Not eating. But it does give you muscles. If I slimmed down to the recommended weight for my height/age I'd look... well... dead.
Hubby registered himself & away he went. He was also very impressed. So, after I got up off the floor in shock... because hell that man IS the living embodiment of Victor Meldrew... I knew I'd made the right choice.
Early days yet... but so far, very impressed. So impressed I bought a second set & sent to my son as we're doing a weight loss drive together as he's added a few pounds to his bodily CV this last year.
So far... a very good piece of kit.
I won't be weighing myself every day as I'm sure is the temptation... because I know you should only do this once every 1-2 weeks to get a proper idea of what's occurin'
Party on peeps... Y.. M... C..A (you know it's stuck in your head now... you can thank me later 😁)
