@@jonathanlavery bias could depend on other non constant variables. Room temperature, and body weight itself come to mind. Kitchen scales (like Hario) precision varies according to what range of weight you are measuring, the lower the weight, the higher the precision.
@@alejoforero89 , the idea is to have a reasonable range. Nothing is going to be perfect, but if you find the trend going in the direction you want (as noted in the video), what matters is that you're making progress.
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.
So… is it useless when my BMI is over 25? Because that is the only reason I wanted one - to see my progress when technically overweight. I would have to be a sickly wee skinny dude to have BMI under 25
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.
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!!
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
@@maremike2691 I've had a few problem with the connection between the scale and the app. I was able to resolve the issue fairly simply by uninstalling and reinstalling, and all data was still there. I always weigh twice, bc if I stand further back on the scale, sometimes it reads a couple lbs higher. Other than those issues, I have very much enjoyed this particular scale and have no other issues. Oh and I've only had to charge it before the first initial use, and one more time, so the charge seems to hold up too, even with daily use. I don't have anything to compare it to, but i would recommend it.
@@JessClarkArt I just purchased the GE one as well! Did you notice a lot of variation when doing BF% scans when you weighed twice a day? That's my main concern lol im sure the weight scale part works fine
@@shayanpal8077 you will likely always see variations when measuring more than once a day. The body changes throughout the day due to eating, all forms of movement, body release of waste, water, etc. I've found it best to measure when waking up for sleep because many people sleep the same number of hours a night, and there was not much in the form of "exercise" while sleep. Bottom line, measure the same time every day after similar daily intake, exercise, and waste removal.
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.
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...
The handgrip measurement scales should be significantly better since 4 instead of 2 points are used to make measurements. The more measurement points, the more accurate the measurement AND new parameters can be obtained. I would suspect the handgrips would deal with "upper" vs "lower" body types.
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.
Renpho user here. Did an experiment by having multiple profile of different height / gender combinations and weight with them, and within 5min my body fat ratio fly from 15% to 25%. Just for fun I weighted myself with the same profile, and then weighted again holding a jug of water, and my body fat flew from 25% to 26%. Conclusion: the body fat % is just a guess based on your height, body weight and gender, it have nothing to do with a measurement, and the metallic electrode thing is likely just a decoration. It's accurate when...surprisingly, your build is similar to what the app assumed.
I just ordered a withings scale, because I became suspicious of this. I train for 1 year hard in the gym, eat properly, drink a lot, have my hormones in check, bulked then cutted, and when reaching my old weight, the scale said, I had the exact same body fat, to the gram. I hope that the withings scale is more accurate
You can buy a scale that sends a current from your feet to your hands, that's more accurate. I've got an OMRON with a hand piece and it's pretty accurate.
I used a Renpho for the last four years. It was finally giving me issues with under reporting my weight by up to four pounds sometimes and would change when it would do so which frustrated me. I ended up replacing it with a Withings Body+ scale since I wanted something that would hopefully last longer but we shall see. I only paid 52 for mine brand new though so I am not out much more. I do like the Renpho app though.
The question I have is... Is the possible 20% inaccuracy random or is it consistent per person? Meaning... If you measure yourself 5 times in one hour will they be up to 20% different from each other, or 20% different from professional equipment? The consistency PER person is what matters if you are trying to track your body, not the absolute accuracy...
these scales are so off. even the trend is off. it just takes your weight makes a profile gives u x fat x muscle and no matter how you lose or gain weight back when your weight is the same the other stats are the same. i went from 200lbs to 180lbs. went on testosterone gained a ton of muscle lost fat very obviously physically clear. got to 192lbs and my stats were the same fat and muscle when i was 192 losing weight and back up to 192 gaining muscle on test. these suck ! only thing thats accurate is the weight
For the love of all things holy-please DO NOT buy a Fit Track scale. I purchased a scale weeks ago using a code, and I have yet to receive it. When I asked for a refund they created a pre-shipment code instead (that’s still pending) so they didn’t have to issue the refund. It’s been the worst experience and not worth your time or money.
Most instruments to assess body fat are very inaccurate, even the scanner, which actually is meant for bone density measurement, not fat. The best way to evaluate your shape and progress is to watch yourself naked in a full size mirror. A mirror never lies.
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
Brooo these kind of scales only can mesure correctly the body fat related with your lower part of your body (legs), if you want a general body fat with these kind of scales you need to buy scales that check the lower part of your body and the upper part (this ones have a cable and "sensors to check your hands" to close the loop of your upper body). Pleaaaaaseee do another video with expensive and cheap scales, that can mesure upper and lower body to be able to compare it better to the "gold standard DEXA" and the Aura :P Thank youu!
Thank youu!@@ShervinShares But it is very weird, after writing this comment, I was checking other of your cool videos, and I added a comment here answering myself that I found this video that you shared. I am not sure why the comment is not here, then I checked my History Comments on UA-cam, and I realized that I am missing some comments from yesterday :S anyway, thank you very much your videos are suuuper cool!
i can tell you the bar handle body weight system is over 10 years old, i had one back then , i did research its accy before i got my new weight and it was awfull off the mark - maby this new system better.
For me, bioelectric impedence is way more accurate than Dexa. Dexa 35%. Bodpod: 19%. Calipers 20%. Tape measure: 21%. Hydrostatic: 18% Biolectric impedance: 18.8% Two things: Dexa machines are based on flawed, buggy software (they do quite a bit of interpretation with the limited raw data they collect). Second, they have to be calibrated to be accurate. If the Dexa isn't in a bonfide medical facility, the owners really won't bother with maintenance to make sure it's accurate. That's because medical facilities can get sued for malpractice, were little "fitness clinics" and University athletics departments can't.
Looking for multi-user friendly.. i.e., If two people will be using the scale, how easy is it for the scale to save the data to the appropriate profile/user? Does the scale or app need to connect to the internet, or is everything done on your local network / app? For example, is the data stored on the phone, or is there some cloud service involved where if the company goes out of business the scale or app won't work? In terms of data, just something looking to chart weight, body-fat and bone-density over time. But which is the most accurate in the < $50 scales.. RenPho, Etekcity, Withings , Wyze Smart Scale S, Yunmai, ABLEGRID , eufy Smart Scale P2 Pro, Lepulse. Would love to see all these companies send you a scale, and you compare it against your test at Dexafit in Orange County!
These scales are useless when it comes to losing body fat. I didnt lose a lb on the scale for 6 weeks & all of my stats were the same (BMI, BF %, etc...) but when I measured myself i had lost 8" all around, including 3 on my waist lol I knew I wasn't crazy when all my clothes were fitting looser & I felt better. Just goes to show that majority of scales are useless because they don't truly measure body recomp.
I'm not sure what you're getting at both gave inaccurate readings but the more expensive one still was much accurate than the cheap one that was 3 digits off. So your idea of both being inaccurate you would rather go with the cheap one? The one thats obviously much more inaccurate? Atleast the expensive is just about almost on the dot in accuracy.
I have a pretty cheap scale that tells you your weight and percentage of fat, water, muscle and bones plus the biological age of your body and your kcal needs. Must be very accurate xD It only fluctuates in a small range and most of the data is in the range where I would expect it to be. But it always tells me a body fat around 17.5-17.9% and comparing to many pictures online I might rather be around 12-15%.
What was that app that you showed in 3:38 that took pictures of your body from all angles? I would really like to use that to track my visual progress i would really appreciate if you could share. Great vid btw 👍
Had to chuckle in the beginning, when he said this is a Nokia scale, now Withings LOL .. cuz it WAS Withings.. Nokia Bought them out for like 7 million? than Withins bought it back about 2 years later for 5 million ( could be off on the millions. but remember they bought it back for 2 million less than they sold it to them for ) ...
I see the value of a trend up or down, but that margin of error is hilariously awful. Wow. Does the actual basic scale functionality work accurately, or is that whacked too?
I have the cheaper renpho scale and have found that body weight has been similar to an inbody and dexa scan. Every thing else has been off. I was pretty surprised to find that all the measurements between the inbody and the dexa were very similar .
I come here on youtube to check if cheap scale works good or not after I saw trending weight scale for cheap cheap price, lower than $10.. The design, the look is same as renpo 😂 Im sure they import it from China?
These scales are rubbish. Ive been weightlifting and dieting for 3 months. Lost 2kg this month alone yet my scales are telling me I've increased in body fat by 2% Ive never looked so gopd yet my scales are telling me to loose more fat
So, which scale is consistently inaccurate, as in, is almost always off by Y? Because if a scale is off by four pounds and, say, four percent in body fat/water/etc., and I can watch trends (as you point out), I’m happy with that.

why did you not do 4 point scale instead of just leg scale?
Measuring trends is more important than the accuracy of each data point. Very well said
Sure, but thats assuming the bias is constant. If its not, then trends measures are trash.
@@alejoforero89 would it not be constant if you’re using the same scale?

Wow! Really good that you found in body close to dexa
I come here on youtube to check if cheap scale works good or not after I saw trending weight scale for cheap cheap price, lower than $10..
The design, the look is same as renpo 😂 Im sure they import it from China?
3:37 great euphemism 😆
Makes no sense, to buy a scale without handmeasurement
How is Inbody 270 ?
After watching I decided not to even bother buying one of these scales.
hahah yes data is useful, but don't obsess over it
Thanks!! ❤
I was gonna spend 150€, but spent 30 instead hahaha We appreciate your review sir
Is it true that dehydration can mess with the measurement?
water, food, etc can all impact measurements
@@ShervinShares I had heard that not enough water can cause a high fat reading
Also if you take creatine right?
So the scales tend to read higher than what you are
slightly
@Shervin.hey bro you seem like busy man so try things 3 and for your daily habits try streak workout
i know... i'm excessive
renpho is a good brand. I could never buy one for 20.
haha
your hair grew quickly...
Will it hurt a child?

These scales are rubbish. Ive been weightlifting and dieting for 3 months. Lost 2kg this month alone yet my scales are telling me I've increased in body fat by 2% Ive never looked so gopd yet my scales are telling me to loose more fat
Luigi looks very difference
So, which scale is consistently inaccurate, as in, is almost always off by Y?
Because if a scale is off by four pounds and, say, four percent in body fat/water/etc., and I can watch trends (as you point out), I’m happy with that.
What am doing so much data about my body
great vid
No scale is accurate
I stood on my scale for about 2 hours every day and my weight didn’t change very much. I’m probably better off going to the gym
That stache is sweet brother
You look like a Turkish sultan
What's the name of the app on 3:37 ?
Amazon Halo App with the purchase of the hardware
So u have to die in order to find out your body fat %😂
So basically don't waste money on either one.
