In addition to measuring body fat, many body fat scales estimate other metrics of body composition, such as muscle mass, bone mass, and body water percentage, giving you access to more information to help you reach your goals. A body fat level that falls above or below these ranges may negatively affect your health. If you’re unsure whether your current body fat level is within a healthy range, consider speaking with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/weight-management/adult-overweight-obesity/health-risks Svetlana Chentsova, FNP-BC, CBN, program manager at One Healthy Boston, phone interview, March 28, 2019 App compatibility: We looked for scales that are compatible with Apple Health, Google Fit, and the Fitbit app, and that easily and reliably connect to them as well as to other third-party apps.

You don’t have to head to the gym to do a full body workout. You can do a complete routine right in your own home with our Resistance Bands Trainer Kit EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT DEFECTS) ARE DISCLAIMED.

We found the display and readability could be better, and noted that the scale tips easily when stepping onto the device. Our editor found that it was easy for her feet to accidentally cover the reading, so it's not the best choice if you have large or wide feet—or stability issues.

To get the full benefit of the scale, you’ll have to insert your accurate personal information into the app. The body fat percentage is primarily intended for people between 10 and 80. A smart scale can estimate bone mass using the same principle, but one needs to have a DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) to measure bone density. "The bones are poor conductors of electricity, compared with other tissues," Karpukhin said. "Thus, electrical current resistance allows smart scales to calculate bone mass."
