GE Smart Scale for Body Weight, BMI, Fat, Muscle Mass, Digital Bathroom Scales 500lbs Bluetooth 11.8" Large Platform Weighing Machine Health Monitor with App, Dark Blue-Button Function

After a couple months of religiously tracking my weight and body composition, I think this scale is reasonably accurate. It's not medical grade info, but useful in showing trends and giving a decent estimate of various measured data points. I have another scale that does similar measurements of body composition, which I find is a bit more pessimistic while the GE scale may be slightly optimistic. However, the two scales usually agree on the weight and only differe by 0.1 or 0.2 lbs when they don't agree. As a scale, I think it can be considered highly accurate. The GE scale agrees in body composition with the data my Samsung Watch 4 Classic produces, within a small margin of error. They measure using different methods, so the fact they generally match up leads me to believe they are both producing relatively good data. I would not use the data for a research paper, but it is enough to keep you motivated and moving in a healthy direction. The battery seems to last, no issues there. The screen is bright and easy to read. Like most similar scales, it is small enough to fit on a 12x12 tile, which I find helps ensure accurate readings since it needs even solid support to read properly. The GE app can be linked to the Samsung Health App through Health Connect, but the data is not instantly recognized by Samsung Health and only the weight and BMI are recognized. I usually just input the scale reading into my watch and do a second body composition reading there, which populated the data into Samsung Health, then I do a quick comparison, which is usually pretty much the same. I bought the version with the extra buttons and they make setup a little easier. Otherwise, I have not used the buttons since. I have been thinking of getting the version with the handle which adds more electrodes for the body scans to see how they compare. If I do, I will try to update this review. As it is, I think this is one of the better scales out there, just wish it had the same data sets as the Samsung Health App so more of the data would cross over from app to app.

The best scale I've ever had! It connects by Wi-Fi to your cell phone on an app that lets you keep track of your weight and other important data. I love it so much that I ordered one for my adult daughter also!

Just what I needed to get motivated to lose weight! I could not get the scale to program male/female at first; but somehow my husband did it for me. It is very nice to know my wt, BMI, % fat, etc. It came well packaged and the color was a nice dark navy. I have not used the bluetooth feature since I don't want another app on my phone!

There are 3 models offered on this web page. Originally got the "Dark Blue" model. Despite what Amazon web page description says, the body measurements won't show on this scale unless the app is open and paired each time you use the scale. Returned it and got the "Button Function-Blue" model instead. That scale will display body measurements without the app. But you do have to set up the app for the first use. The app will also track history if it is open and paired during weighing. Comments: 1) Body measurements on scale do not match app. Why are bone mass and muscle mass measurements in % on the scale but in pounds on the app? Percent is more meaningful. I.e., muscle mass measurement in pounds is meaningless since it can be affected by total weight, water, and fat measurements. Measurements in pounds doesn't give me a reference. This should be a simple fix in the app to align with the scale. Other brands use %. 2) Products Manual in the app needs improvement. The fonts are so small you can't read it. You can't zoom in either. I'm using a Galaxy phone. 3) Lack of instruction on getting second profile to read correctly first time. The second person has to step on the scale right away after his profile is set. Then it remembers and tracks with or without the app. 4) Seems like different people can also use the app on different phones. But both can not be on at the same time. 5) For some reason, when the app is not used, the scale flashes between P1 and P3 after weight is displayed as if it is asking me if I'm P1. When I tap the SET button for P1, it displays body measurements. BTW, P3 was not set. It didn't do this with P2 when that person steps on the scale. Every time I open the app, it tells me I'm "overweight". Looks like I'm borderline according to the color scale. It doesn't tell me what weight I should be to be not overweight. I would be something nice to have to set my goal.

It’s an accurate scale and the app works really well if you are trying to lose weight you get great data to track your progress in multiple ways. I wish I bought it sooner. Prior to buying the scale I lost 30 pounds. Since buying it I have lost 5 more. The fact that it’s constantly calculating your bmr and calories helps to stay on track each day
