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.

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 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.

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

Product works well app can tend to lag but that isnt fault of the product Product works well app can tend to lag but that isnt fault of the product

This is an awesome scale. My family love it! This is an awesome scale. My family love it!

soo many features actually motivated me to get HEALTHIER soo many features actually motivated me to get HEALTHIER

Fantastic value for money, does everything you want it to do and at a fraction of the cost of others on the market. I have the wristband also which works great.

Excellent product. I recommend it. Excellent product. I recommend it.

Received the scales, worked normally for a little while and now its weighing nothing as if its 2kgs... Received the scales, worked normally for a little while and now its weighing nothing as if its 2kgs...
