ANY GOOD - Well, it is easy to use. You can set it up for 4 different users and it will remember their height, age and gender. It will weigh you in the traditional fashion - helpful if you want to watch your weight for whatever reason. It gives a nice clear digital display.
The other readings? Are they useful? I'm not convinced they are. I now know all sorts of things about my body but it does not really change that much about me. I know I need to exercise and eat a balanced diet to stay within acceptable ranges for all the readings given by the scales, but that is just common sense to anyone concerned about their wellbeing anyway?
I have had my ego well and truely flattered by the scales telling me that my metabolic age is nearly half my 50 years!! Great - for this reason alone my EGO NEED THESE SCALES!
CONCLUSION All the readings are of no practical use to me.
I need to monitor my weight, exercise and eat a balanced diet but in an ideal world we all know that. It does not matter if a machine tells me I have excess body fat - I will know that when my clothes don't fit - i need to diet and guess what - lose weight!! And then use weight measuring scales.
If you are very sad like myself and want to be told something you perhaps already knew - only the positive readings mind you - then the flattery of having the scales tell you you have a good physique/muscle mass/metabolic age is invaluable (tongue in cheek here)!
The novelty has worn off quickly for me and I now only use them for keeping an eye on my weight.
BUY ? Only if you want the various readings - in which case they are very good scales and the manufacturers claim that they are very accurate.
