Mi Smart Scale

As someone who spends a lot of time working out I decided that I should be more informed about the way my body changes and adapts to the different routines/diets I try, thus I decided to invest in a smart scale. The unboxing and setting up experience is quite simple and there are instructions or youtube videos should you struggle at any point. An important part to take note of is that the scale does not come with any BATTERIES so you will need to buy or use 4 AAA batteries in order to power it up. Setting it up is simple all you have to do is download the mi fit app from the appstore or google play. Making sure your location services and bluetooth are enabled, click on add a device and select the scale category. Once you select your model simply step on the scale to finish pairing. Measuring yourself is pretty simple, just place your bare feet (skin to metal circles) on the scale and wait until there are 5 bars under the weight measurement. The app will provide you with a lot of useful measurements to track your progress after each weigh in, such as a Body score, Body fat %, BMI, Basal metabolism, Bone mass, Protein %, Visceral Fat %, Muscle mass, Water and Weight. While I can't guarantee the accuracy of these results as they heavily depend on the time of day you measure yourself at and what you did beforehand, they are a good way to measure progress. Even if they're not 100% accurate or as accurate as a DEXA scan they provide enough details to visualise a trend in body fat decrease or muscle mass increase. My overall verdict: This is a good and easy to use smart scale, pairing it up with a Xiaomi smart band or smart watch will increase the amounts of data points you will have for each day and they all connect to the same app.

Seems to work for me - what you can't measure you can't improve and all that. I learned stuff that was not picked up by the NHS Health Check. So for not much more than a standard set of scales you get a whole load of useful data that helped me to take ongoing action to keep to a more healthy lifestyle - how long that will last who knows.

great scale, super easy to use, but for some reason every time I step first it adds extra 1.7kg, when I step away it shows +1.7... and than I have to wayt when it goes off and step again to see true weight. Otherwhise it works great, and very accurate, as when I been not excercising for a while, my age went up :)

they make the best quality and cheapest scales I have seen! if you need one, buy it and thank me later !

Purchased this direct from Amazon. It is a bit expensive compared to normal scales, but this is a "smart" scale. It is therefore able to give more insights than just my weight. There are 12 other measurements ranging from body fat to bone mass. These seem to be within tolerance. For example, body fat - having measured this with a set of calipers and then used the scales, the scales add on 7% body fat vs the calipers. This is OK for me (and the app states I'm within healthy limits). However, I can see how this could be an issue if you're suddenly stated to be over the healthy limit when you're not. In which case, you could do what I did and invest in a cheap caliper so you have a benchmark. The scale itself is very well built and study. I don't worry about it smashing or cracking. Looks neat too. In terms of the App, if you use any other Xiaomi health products (such as fitness bands) then you will be familiar with it. It's basic but it does the job well - summarising the different measurements in a list form (with drop downs for further information if needed). It will then log off of these stats for comparison - day to day, month to month. I'd recommend this scale overall. If you found this help, please click so below to say. Thanks.

If you are reading these reviews it means you are considering these scales. I can wholeheartedly say that you have found what you are looking for. I ordered these scales because we needed to replace our old set. As I have an amazfit watch and these sync to the same app I thought that for the same price as some "traditional scales" these would be worth a punt, maybe they'd even be a bit of fun. My wife wasn't against the idea but didn't sound convinced that they would be much better than a normal set of scales. The scales were delivered on a day that was working from the office and I was expecting my first job, when I got home, to be setting them up. After all I was the one with the Amazfit app. In fact they were so easy to set up and the instructions were that clear that by the time I got home, my wife (who was working at home) had downloaded the Mifit app and set them up. As easy as they were to set up I'd say they are even easier to use, maybe even easier to use than traditional scales, you don't even need to look down to read them. Measurements are sent straight to the app on your phone and plotted straight onto a graph. I know there are people out there who will agree that it's great to see a trend on a graph. The body composition stuff is really interesting too. Just remember to take your socks off if you want your body composition measured. TLDR: For something the same price as scales that just weigh you, this bit of kit is outstanding.

I have no idea how the product is because I have spent and hour trying to get to use it!!! I have seen primary school projects with better designed software. It’s absolutely useless. I worked in the software industry for 10 years and have never seen anything so poorly designed to do a simple thing. Create an account and connect phone to bluetooth is about as basic as you can get. This is so poorly executed by this company it’s just laughable. There is really nothing they have got right.

This exceeded my expectations, you can download an app on your cell phone and there you see your weight, body mass, visceral fat, rhythm or heart, bone density and many more things, this helps you monitor many parts while you are in the process of weight loss, , and not only you, you can also add profiles of more people.

Bardzo dobry produkt, bardzo precyzyjny. Jedyny minus to sylwetki w aplikacji tylko dla drobnych mieszkańców Azji.

Received the item in good condition. Clean box, item is covered in plastic and manuals are included to guide you in using the device and how to link to your smart phone. The weighing scale works immediately and doesn't take much time to lock in the weight. The weight is also recorded immediately to the phone app in 2-3 seconds. The iPhone Mi Fit app is also good and provides body report. I'm not really sure how accurate the report is but it's good to know these information about your body and provides guides on where to improve. Overall a good product and would recommend to others.
