TANITARD-953 Smart Body Composition Scale with Free App Unique Muscle Quality Score 11 Measurements Platinum

I think all scales can get your weight right, so that is not a problem, you can get a cheap one. But if you care for a good estimate of fat and muscle percentages this is one the best I think. The cheap ones sometimes dont even do a proper estimate, they just use a formula based on your weight and height.... I have examined a few scales side by side for a month to see which one had the better consistency. This scale was by far the most consistent with a pattern over time that made sense according to what I could see visually. Of course it is very difficult to get an accurate measure of fat% with a simple scale but this one is the best I have seen. The numbers make sense in terms of absolute values but also in terms or relative changes over time. The app is also very easy to use, the graphics are so and so. Overall happy with the value I got out of this scale for tracking progress over and above my weight.

Just arrived here my RD-953.The box looks like it was opened before with some damage. I did not receive any manual or garantee certificate. Also in the tanita website says 5 years garantee and in my box says 3.-————————The seller contact me and explained that i can find the manual on the website(but I miss the paper one) and register my scale there as well.I cannot complein about the seller was very fast delivery and very fast answe for my questions.The scale looks great and work fine, easy to configure and workin on ios and android.

Why oh why is creating a Bluetooth digital weighing scale so difficult. On receiving the scales, my phone and scale connected seamlessly and within 2 minutes I had my first reading.... fast forward 24 hours and the scale is no longer connected... and after 30 minutes of messing around I managed to install the device again which meant losing the first set of measurements. It would appear that you have to reconnect every time you use them, but it isn’t even as easy as that as they can’t find each other despite placing the phone on the scales. Another issue is that I have dropped 4% on the fat measurement which is great to see but after a life time of being around 19-20% fat, I am suddenly 16%I think they are going to have to go back ...Stop press; We have got them working... not sure how, but we did it.The fat percentage seems to fluctuate but I am more confident that it is correct so the jury is out on the scales but decided to keep them!

If you want to learn more about your body than, just how much you weigh, this will do it for you. I did a lot of research and this one came out on top for what I want and it hasn't disappointed. The app is so useful and once you get it synced, its very user friendly. I love these scales.

I have only had the scales for a week, but have no problem connoting them to my phone. They need to be connected each time you use them (the bluetooth link needs to be established). With my old scales (Nokia) reading would fluctuate quite a lot even when weighing myself the same day. This is not the case with the Tanita scales. The number of measurements given are extensive, and I am now able to track elements like muscle quality along with body fat and visceral fat. My feeling is that this is a quality product with excellent measurement capabilities (you even need to set location so that they can take account of the different gravitational forces in different countries)

These scales used to be very accurate but ever since the new app update the measurements have become useless, if I could return it I wouldTanita support is non existent.Just read the reviews on the iOS App Store.

I decided to bite the bullet and buy these very expensive scales after failing to find a cheaper set that were accurate enough for my needs. If you have smaller feet or good balance the smaller Tanita scales at £100 less are much better value but I could't balance on them myself. Tanita have recently improved the bluetooth connection so they now connect when I open the app, rather than struggling to connect each time I use them. The design is pretty awful and could do with losing the shiny bits, but the amount of data from these scales is superb. Data shows on the scales and on the app initially.They’re said to be within 5% of a DEXA scan. but I have found they have a fault - very misleading hydration level reading , that doesn’t budge much from 37% even though I drink 2 litres of water a day and increasingly odd readings after 9 months of use. These appear to be defective and are going back under guarantee.The app has come in for a lot of deserved criticism and I hope Tanita simplifies the app and takes on that people want a true digital scale. Much of the information is in the app but you have to look at each metric separately to see the data, and it is not connected directly to the initial measurement but on separate pages, which compares current data and shows a graph of changes which do not have data points. To get the best info from these you have to print or save a PDF file which gives a lot more data including fat, water and muscle in both % and kilos. Tanita should rewrite this app, incorporate all the available data in the app, and make it easier to access.They are hideously expensive and I hoped for better from Tanita. I need more accurate scales wish I knew if I can risk another Tanita set.

disliked that no manual comes with the scales but is available to download from Tanita website ,liked the easy set up & can add multiple users the detailed info is very handy if you want to maintain a healthy body/lifestyle would recommend these to anyone
