 Great Scale November 22, 2008
Richard Garrison (Iowa City, IA)
This scale is really great if you are serious about keeping track of your weight for health reasons. When you diet, most of the time, you are losing water or muscle, not fat. This type of scale shows you weight, BMI, Body fat (%), Muscle (%), estimate of calories burned in a day, visceral fat (around the belly) and an estimate of your body age based on those figures. This is a lot better than a normal scale because it helps you target fat, not water or muscle.
The scale is a little complicated to set up when compared to normal scales that you just step on. You actually have to open the manual to figure it out. But after the initial 5 minute set up, it is a piece of cake to use. Just tap the on button on the bottom, lift the handle, tap the user number and step on the scale. First it takes your weight, then it does the other measurements. It has a memory to show you where you started and where you are now for each measurement, but, even better is the template weight diary worksheet that included to help you keep track of your progress on paper.
The only thing that could make this better would be to have some kind of PC/Mac connection so you didn't have to write everything down.
If you can get over the high price, you'll love this scale.
 Great for tracking; not so great for the very muscular August 19, 2008

This product has a lot of neat (if not entirely useful) features that are fun to play with. It tracks weight, body fat, muscle, visceral fat and what age it thinks your body is (as opposed to pure biological age). Additionally, it stores the highest value for each of those items over time, so you can see how you are trending; which is exceptionally useful.
The reason I took a star away from a perfect score, is a small detail about the body fat calculations. Typical BIA devices generally modify the calculation for how much body fat you have, based on if you meet the guidelines they typically call "athlete" (meaning that you exercise more than 5 hours a week at a fairly intense level). This BIA device does NOT provide that functionality. If you fit the category of a regular intense exerciser and are female, you will find that it estimates a body fat percentage up to 5% more on this device than other BIA devices which have the athlete calculation (such as the Omron hand held BIA or the Tanita scale BIA).
