Scales appear to be all good. Annoying to have to set up an account with xioami to use the app. bought scales - set up account -set up app - used scales- app told me I'm fat - didn't really need to spend this money to learn that!

The actual weighing is accurate - however all of the other features it supposedly has, such as bone density, muscle, fat percentage, hydration (the most inaccurate) and protein seem way off/very inaccurate. But it’s not all bad, please read the pros and cons below, if you would like. :)

Pros:

Weighs accurately. I also like that your logs (on the app) get saved like a timeline, so you can see what you weighed at different days, and at different times. It’s a great way to see visual patterns and progress. Eg you weigh more at night, so as the week goes on, if you start to weigh less at night, and also in the morning, you know you’re makin...view more The actual weighing is accurate - however all of the other features it supposedly has, such as bone density, muscle, fat percentage, hydration (the most inaccurate) and protein seem way off/very inaccurate.

It’s a great way to see visual patterns and progress. Eg you weigh more at night, so as the week goes on, if you start to weigh less at night, and also in the morning, you know you’re making progress. It’s the best part I’ve found about these scales.

They are small, strong, modern, sleek and stylish. Be sure to buy batteries however (AAA, the skinnier ones).

Cons:

I drink 5-6.5 litres of water/green tea a day and I’ve never been considered “hydrated” I’ve never even hit “sufficient” before.

I’m currently bulking up/building muscle, downing a bunch of protein, and yeah, I have never hit even normal protein values.

Again, if you are buying these to get accurate measurements in many areas of your health, you will be greatly disappointed. But if you are wanting a fairly cheap, modern pair of accurately weighing scales, with the ability to track your weight in a visual timeline, I’d fully recommend it. It’s why I decided to rate at a 4/5, rather than a 2/5, as for the price it’s not a bad buy. I have paid far more for a basic pair of scales. I love being able to see visual progress that can stem back to the first time you ever weighed yourself.

The other stuff is a bit of a laugh - the hydration thing may encourage you to actually drink more, to try and appease the app.

Hope this review helped you create an informed decision.

Mostly works well, and the Bluetooth integration with Mi Fit is great. Unfortunately the BIA measurement this scale does is not great - it consistently only reads me as massively dehydrated, regardless of my real hydration, causing all the derived measurements (BF%, Visceral fat, etc) to always be significantly wrong and leading Mi Fit to give me nonsense health warnings. My previous scale has a 2-pad BIA measurement and never had this problem, it always gave consistent and plausible measures.

If it wasn't for this serious mismeasurement, this would be a GREAT scale; presumably there are people who it does read accurately (or maybe just my...view more Mostly works well, and the Bluetooth integration with Mi Fit is great.

If it wasn't for this serious mismeasurement, this would be a GREAT scale; presumably there are people who it does read accurately (or maybe just my unit is faulty) and for them this would be an awesome product. Unfortunately for me it's a disappointment given how great all the other Mi products (e.g. the Band 4) are.

I bought this scale on sale because it communicates my weight directly to my phone so that I don't have to. It is accurate and does what I want it to do (5 stars). However, it also provides a bunch of measurements that I think could really discourage someone. I have other scales that measure my body fat that say I'm at around 24% (average). This scale says that I'm at 32% (obese!). I workout a lot and ingest a high amount of protein every day, but the scale says that my protein is "inadequate". Honestly, there is no way in hell I could possibly eat more protein. It says that my muscle mass is 56kg and my bone mass is 3kg, but that my...view more I bought this scale on sale because it communicates my weight directly to my phone so that I don't have to.

It says that my muscle mass is 56kg and my bone mass is 3kg, but that my ideal weight is 61kg. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever! If I were to actually achieve that my body fat percentage would be dangerously low.

The scale works for the reason I bought it (transmit weight to my phone). I do not, however, think any of those other measurements are accurate... certainly not for me. If you get this scale don't be put off those other measurements.

It is a nice looking scale. Easy to install if you have the batteries. You must remember to buy the batteries. It is a nice looking scale. Easy to install if you have the batteries. You must remember to buy the batteries.

I have had this scale for about two years now. I believe it's a good buy if you coming from old-school scales and wanna make it a little smarter, especially if you could buy it discounted in a sale.

It's precise and smart, if you install the app on your phone, you can know more about your body than just your weight. BMI, Body Fat Percentage, Water Percentage, Basal Metabolism rate, Visceral Fat, and so more.
Bear in mind that most of this information doesn't change that often, so I would say your weight, BMI and Body Fat Percentage would be the most useful information you get on a day-to-day level.

However, there are some parts of it which I don't like either. The mi-fit app that you should install for this is just okay, hasn't really got any major updates in the past two years which means Xiaomi is not investing the time on this product. (at least on iPhone) You have to leave the app open every time otherwise your weight would not be logged on your phone. I can have also witnessed significant changes in the information it measures during the day, for instance, I could have a major change in my body fat percentage if I scale in the morning and also night. This leads me to believe most of this information are solely or majorly dependent on your actual weight rather than any smart direct measurement.
Therefore if you're an athlete or someone who wants to keep track of their body more precisely and wanna spend more money on it, I suggest going with more up-to-date devices from other brands such as Withings. However, if you just wanna know your weight in a smarter way and don't really care about these smart details, this is a good device for you.

The scale should be used with the app. Turn on Bluetooth, hop on scale and your weight will be recorded on your phone. On app, it's shown weight,%protein,%fat,%water, bone mass(kg), muscle mass(kg),biological age, body type, BMI, ideal weight, recent weight and fat changes. I like looking at numbers, so I keep weighing myself. I've used the product for a few weeks now.

Great scales, modern appearance, good connectivity features for multiple users. Great scales, modern appearance, good connectivity features for multiple users.
