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.

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...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.

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.

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

Scale works well. Can do all the basic function very well. More advanced measurements seem a little off. Good buy nonetheless. Scale works well. Can do all the basic function very well. More advanced measurements seem a little off. Good buy nonetheless.

I found it to be very helpful, even though the body mass ratio is wrong but it is consistent. I found it to be very helpful, even though the body mass ratio is wrong but it is consistent.

The scale works perfectly. I don’t really trust all measurements available but it’s accurate to check the weight. Easy connection with mobile phone. The scale works perfectly. I don’t really trust all measurements available but it’s accurate to check the weight. Easy connection with mobile phone.

excellent for body weight measurement. it is loaded with other smart features. It is affordable but the build (and app) quality is outstanding. excellent for body weight measurement. it is loaded with other smart features. It is affordable but the build (and app) quality is outstanding.

Great for taking record of your weight using the app. Not sure if the body vital statistics measurements are accurate. Great for taking record of your weight using the app. Not sure if the body vital statistics measurements are accurate.
