Valuable weight loss tool

Accurate scale, but body fat measurement is suspect

This is a nice piece of equipment, seems to be well-made with a nice design. The scale was VERY accurate--no complaints there--but I mostly purchased it to monitor my body fat. That it did not do very well. I followed the instructions to the letter and repeatedly got incorrect numbers. The instructions say this scale is not for highly trained athletes or people with very low body fat, so heed that warning if that describes you.

Athletes do Not Purchase

Warning to atheletes: This body fat scale does not have the athlete setting. It therefore cannot make the correct assumptions about bone density, etc. to give you an accurate body fat measurement. If you are athletic (10 hours+ of cardio per week and resting heartrate of 60 or less), this scale will not work for you. I bought this scale and it told me my body fat was a full 10% higher than it actually is.

Scale is right on for weight, but to tempremental

This is a beautiful well made scale.The weight is extremly accurate,but when I try to get my bodyfat and bmi readings it turns into a hastle.I constantly get error readings, even after trying there cures.Eventually I do get them after quite a few tries.Maybe its me,but it sure is a pain.
