    Awesome deal

    Bought one of these about a month ago, works pretty flawlessly and you can hook it into fitbit etc.

    Not sure how accurate some of the readings are (like body fat %) but realistically it serves its primary purpose well.. weight measurement.

    Loved the 'trial battery' that was included, recommended to replace in 3 months or something šŸ˜‚

    • BargainHunterMYz on 20/09/2019 - 20:04

      Actually it's not accurate. I have recently started some fitness program. Even though I have lost a lot of fats and gained a lot of muscle, the number still remains unchanged.

      So I wouldn't recommend.

      • Tnetennba on 20/09/2019 - 20:06

        For $20 I wouldn't expect accurate detailed readings, that's what I was suggesting. Its weight measurement is reasonably accurate though, from what I can tell.

        If you want better readings for other metrics, spend more money.

        • BargainHunterMYz on 21/09/2019 - 13:14

          Whether it's cheap or not is beside the point.

          If it should be meant to measure weight, not anything else because it's simply far too inaccurate, don't advertise that you can measure fats. That's false advertising.

          Is it cheap? Yup. Does it measure fats accurately? Oh yes. Does it measure fats accurately so that people who really want the feature should buy it? No.

      • RangaWal on 20/09/2019 - 20:12

        Anybody able to recommend one that works well. My old Withings scales have died due to battery leakage :(

      • 4892 on 20/09/2019 - 22:09

        Just my 2c. Bought this a while ago when it was on special, not sure how accurate the other measurements are but it is showing a consistent change as I change. Is that accurate compared to other equipment? No idea.

        Also you may as well put some eneloops or brand name batteries in it, as above they didnā€™t last me 2 months.

      • ilu on 21/09/2019 - 04:09

        Pretty sure all the metrics on smart scales outside of weight should be taken with a heavy dose of salt, regardless of how much the scales cost.

          The body fat % on my cheap aldi scales is within 1% of the calipre measurements that were done by my physiologist. But I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, unless it's a 24hr clock.

          • mentok15 on 21/09/2019 - 09:50

            @mapax: Callipers Arenā€™t super accurate either. The best the average person can do is a dexa or body pod scan, and they arenā€™t cheap.

            • mapax on 21/09/2019 - 10:25

              @mentok15: I realise that and the physiologist said similar. But it amuses me that they are only .7% difference, with the scales measuring the lower value. I would like to get a more accurate scan but money…

              • ilu on 21/09/2019 - 19:47
                +2

                @mapax: If your body type happens to fit the standard human shapes that their math predicts, it's results may work out well enough.

                It's kinda like BMI (height vs weight), it be an accurate measurement for some body types and completely fail on others, or get thrown off by a few glasses of water or even skin moisture.

                These scales do some guess work based on their simplified expectations of the average individual at various weights and electrical impedance. Maybe their useful for relative comparative trends over time, but that's about it.

                I haven't come across any articles showing that the $200 scales are any more accurate. Treadmills and the like with electrical impedance based measurements are also in the same basket.

        Yeh the body fat is wrong.
        I like how they make you wait on the scale to ā€œscanā€ your body fat. Completely rubbish theatre.
        But. As a ā€œsmart scaleā€ which captures your weight and stores it on your phone (with history) is very handy.

      • 4foxache on 21/09/2019 - 13:38

        It's not bad I've got one and certainly you notice change at least I have with increased muscle mass. Depends on your workout.

        Renpho has me 15% body fat and 3.6kg bone density.

        InBody 570 professional scanner including hand sensors has me 18% body fat and 4.1kg bone mineral content

        So there's a difference but certainly it shows trends and improvements at least in my experience.

        Keep in mind the pro scan costs $25 for 1 scan this is less than that for unlimited. Good value imo.

  • netizen on 20/09/2019 - 19:35

    Thanks for the code, bought one.

  • AliKay on 20/09/2019 - 20:01

    just coz it's OZB's favorite weighing scale, got one although my 3 year old Kmart scale is doing just fine…

      Yes, mine turns on the deep fryer as soon as it detects any weight loss.

    Shopback is a little weird how it works, hopefully tracks!

    I ended up buying one, hopefully it's good!

    Hi Op
    Would you be able to offer a discount for this model? This one has a micro USB rechargeable option. https://www.amazon.com.au/RENPHO-Bluetooth-Rechargeable-Bathā€¦

  • Tames71 on 20/09/2019 - 22:40

    Just bought one as I am in need of a scale.

  • ShinK0 on 21/09/2019 - 00:40

    Just bought one. The way I see it, I have a 50% chance of being called fat.

  • StevieRay on 21/09/2019 - 01:09

    Was heavily weighing up whether or not to make a purchase but the measure of my resolve overcame the desire to do so.

    • StevieRay on 21/09/2019 - 01:19

      Before anyone accuses me for not having the stones to make the purchase, it was not something a decision that I took lightly.

    'good morning you are still fat'.

  • GunnerMcDagget on 21/09/2019 - 07:52

    Works great well but I notice that I have to calibrate it every time. It was a bit of a pleasent surprise. I weighed myself on another scale and it was different to this one. Then I realised if I put weight on the scale to activate it then jump off the scale it sits at about 1.5kgs then calibrates to 0 kgs.

    Also noticed that it doesn't sync with the app unless the app is open. But that's probably my phone settings

    • letthiswork1 on 21/09/2019 - 20:07

      kinda makes sense because it more than 1 person use the scale you would only want to update the correct user's phone.

  • Mokej on 21/09/2019 - 09:32

    I got one but it keeps saying ā€œone person at a timeā€ when I weigh myself.

  • wellzi on 21/09/2019 - 10:07

    Mad mine for about 6 months now and itā€™s bloody fantastic!

    Does anybody know of any 3rd party apps (Android or iOS) that work with this scale that don't require you to sign away your firstborn in the privacy/security permissions?

    • themadman on 21/09/2019 - 12:09

      Openscales is what you're after

      • MoneyPincher on 21/09/2019 - 12:25

        Thanks!
        Being open source is a real bonus as I should be able to add the code needed to make it upload to the Garmin ecosystem as well if I get the scale.

  • Tourage on 21/09/2019 - 11:58

    Accurate for weight only. All other charts match the weight chart, so if you gain weight due to muscle mass, youā€™ll have a higher fat%.

  • doublehelix95 on 21/09/2019 - 13:16

    Thanks, grabbed one.

  • Contopaxi on 21/09/2019 - 16:00

    The whole accuracy discussion is fair but what these scales are great for is showing data and what you do is just follow the trends of that data.
    So as long as numbers are moving in your favor you just go along with it ( without claiming accuracy )
    The only time these scales mess with peoples head alot are when you introduce some variables like changing the time of weighing yourself or after eating or drinking fluids heavily

  • [Deactivated] on 21/09/2019 - 16:11

    Mine is stuck on "fat bastard", so pretty accurate.

  • SympleService on 21/09/2019 - 18:12

    Hi Rep,

    I have been keen to buy one of these for some time, but every time it comes up on special, I can't identify what the differences are between the different units in order to decide which one to purchase.

    Is there a guide somewhere that can help me to identify how the units differ from one another?

  • cobberboy on 22/09/2019 - 05:12

    I own this scale, even at full price it's still a steal. Happy customer.

  • bulldoges on 22/09/2019 - 11:23

    The code does not work for me
